Objectives

 
The Degree in Prevention and Comprehensive Security is an official degree from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, which offers students a multidisciplinary training in coordinated risk management, in the fields of public and private security, the environment, quality and corporate social responsibility.
 
Graduates will be professionals capable of giving an efficient response to different decision-making processes typical of the prevention and security sector, such as, for example, those related to economic, administrative and human resource management aspects or those related to technological areas of the sector.
 
The subject "Comprehensive management models: security", is embedded in a main area of the academic curriculum, called "Techniques and risk management" and is part of a set of five subjects that aim to make the student know the techniques and models of the security system. The other four subjects are: Criminology and Criminalistics. Social research techniques. Comprehensive management models: environment. Comprehensive management models: quality and corporate security.
 
The learning and scope of the skills of this subject allows the student to learn both the management techniques of organizational security models and an analysis of the different frameworks of each one. In this way, you will have a global vision of the operation of the security and emergency system and specifically: its mission, its objectives, functions, actors involved, resources available and problems they face.
 
The educational objectives of this subject are the following:
1. Know the theoretical and organizational framework in which you are going to carry out your professional activity.
2. Identify the organizational and competence scope of the different services involved in the police field.

Assessment

Continuous assessment activities

Title Weight Hours ECTS Learning outcomes
Evaluation of scheduled activities 50% 0 0 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
Theorical Test 50% 0 0 8, 9, 10, 11, 12


1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

Evaluation of theoretical knowledge (50% of the final mark)

It is necessary to get at least a 3.5 out of 10 in this test. Otherwise, no final mark will be obtained for this part.

Attendance at the exam is mandatory. Otherwise, no final mark will be earned for this part.

The use of any kind of documentation for the resolution of this exam is not allowed.


Assessment of practical knowledge (50% of the final mark)

A total of continuous assessment tests (PECs) will be carried out. These are practical cases of an operational nature in which a situation is presented as a case, on which certain searches for information and case resolution must be carried out.

It is mandatory to hand in at least the 75% continuous assessment tests proposed. Otherwise, none of the practical knowledge assessments submitted will be graded and no final mark will be achieved for this part.

It is necessary to obtain at least a 3.5 out of 10 in each of the suggested continuous assessment tests. Otherwise, it will be considered ineligible, and will have the same effects as not having presented it.

Each of them will have a maximum delivery date through the university's virtual campus. If it is not delivered within the established deadline, it will be considered not submitted.

The evaluation test presented must follow the structure of the document proposed in the classroom.


Final grade of continuous assessment

The final grade of the continuous assessment will be obtained from the arithmetic sum of each of the completed and valid exercises.

In order to consider it passed, a score of at least 5 out of 10 must be achieved.


2. UNIQUE ASSESSMENT

Students opting for the single assessment will take the same theory test exam as the continuous assessment (50%) and hand in a PAC summarizing all continuous assessment PACs (50%)

The date for this test and the delivery of the subject's work will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam.

Final grade of continuous assessment

The final grade of the continuous assessment will be obtained from the arithmetic sum of each of the completed and valid exercises.

In order to consider it passed, a score of at least 5 out of 10 must be achieved.


3. RECOVERY EXAMINATION


Access to the exam

If you have not passed the continuous assessment or the single assessment, you can take the make-up exam as long as you have participated (presented), at least in two thirds of the assessment.

Goal

This exercise aims to evaluate all of the contents of the subject, so it must be carried out in its entirety, without retaining part of the continuous assessment exercises

To pass the recovery test, a score of 5 out of 10 must be achieved, which will be obtained from the arithmetic sum of each of the two parts that make up the exercise.

If you pass the make-up exam, the grade obtained will be a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exercise.


4. STUDENT EVALUATION IN THE SECOND CALL OR MORE

Students who repeat the subject must take the scheduled tests and exams and hand in the subject's work on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.


5. Single assessment:


Students opting for single assessment will take a final comprehensive exam covering the entire course content, both theoretical and practical. The date for this exam will be the same as the one scheduled for the final continuous assessment exam. Students wishing to opt for single assessment must submit a request within the official deadline established for doing so. Failure to do so will result in the loss of the single assessment option. The same retake policy applies as for continuous assessment.


6. Use of AI


In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the work's development. Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools employed, and include a critical reflection on how these influenced the process and the final outcome of the activity. Failure to be transparent about the use of AI may be considered an academic irregularity and could lead to a penalty on the activity grade or the application of the consequences outlined in the following section, "Other considerations."



7. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Not assessable

According to point 9 of article 266 of the academic regulations of the UAB, when it is considered that the student has not been able to provide sufficient evaluation evidence, this subject must be classified as non-evaluable. If at least 2/3 of the required evidence is not presented.


Multiple choice questionnaire

Characteristics of all exercises in the formof a multiple-choice questionnaire, both in the continuous assessment and in other tests, for each question four answers will be proposed, of which there is always one correct answer and only one. Wrong answers will be discounted by 33%.

Oral resolution

If it is considered appropriate, some of the tests may be done orally.

Irregularities

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that are considered appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, \"in the event that any irregularity is detected that could lead to a significant variation in the rating of an evaluation act, it will be rated with a 0 (zero) this assessment act, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. In the event that several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final qualification of this subject will be 0 (zero )\".

If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the assessment of the subject.

Date change

The person who needs to change an assessment date must submit the request by completing the document found in the EPSI tutoring Moodle space.

At thetime of carrying out each assessment activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and date of review of the qualifications.

Use of IA

In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed as an integral part of the development of the work, provided that the result reflects a significant contribution of the student in the analysis and personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade of the activity, greater sanctions in cases of seriousness.
