TEACHING LANGUAGE: CASTELLANO
The online courses require a high level of individual work and reading of the manual and documents that are provided as recommended bibliography and that this preparation should lead to individual reflection on the general aspects of mobility and road safety and how to translate it into a concrete reality, such as are the mobility and road safety plans in the company.
Therefore, reading the manual and other documents is essential, in order to raise doubts and intervene in the possible forums that are held, as well as active participation in face-to-face activities through Teams that are carried out during the course.
This course aims to cover general knowledge about environmental issues and traffic accidents and how it has a practical impact on the reality of companies.
To achieve the final objective, which is the realization and implementation of a sustainable and safe mobility through an action plan, it is important to have a broad vision of mobility concepts and their future trends, as well as the effects that social changes, legal and environmental factors believe in the reality of companies.
Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PEC's - Create a mobility plan outline and work related to the subject content | 50% | 0 | 0 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 |
| Final theoretical test continuous evaluation | 50% | 0 | 0 | 2, 3, 7, 9, 14, 15, 16, 18 |
Due to unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the course, the teaching staff may modify the course assessment system.
Continuous Assessment
The assessment system will consist of the preparation and submission of assignments. A written exam must also be administered at the end of the course.
Assignments must have a grade of 2.5 or higher to be included in the continuous assessment. The grade to pass the continuous assessment will be the sum of the theoretical assessment or exam plus the assignments. To pass the continuous assessment, this average must be 5 or higher.
The assignment to create a "Mobility and Road Safety Plan Outline for the Company" is an individual assignment and is one of the basic objectives of the course and part of the continuous assessment.
For the final exam, only pens, pencils, or other writing instruments and ID cards are permitted. Phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, and any other electronic devices are not allowed.
Recovery Exam
Students who do not pass the subject, achieving a grade of 5 out of 10 (total), according to the criteria established in the two previous sections, may take a final exam provided they have been assessed on a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total grade for the subject.
If they have not been assessed on these two-thirds of the activities because they did not take the assessments, they will receive a grade of "Not Present" and will not be eligible to take the final recovery exam.
If the final exam is passed, the subject will be considered passed with a maximum grade of 5, regardless of the exam grade.
STUDENTS WHO FAILED IN PREVIOUS YEARS:
Students repeating this subject must follow the criteria established in this guide to pass the subject.
SINGLE ASSESSMENT
THIS SUBJECT DOES NOT USE A SINGLE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM.
Changing the Date of a Test or Exam
Students who need to change an assessment date must submit a request by completing the form found in the EPSI Tutoring Moodle space.
Once completed, the form must be sent to the course instructor and the Degree Coordinator.
Grade Review
At the time of each assessment activity, instructors will inform students of the grade review procedures.
Other Considerations
Without prejudice to any other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, if a student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant change in the grade for an assessment, that assessment will be graded with a 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. In the event of multiple irregularities in the assessment of a single subject, the final grade for that subject will be 0.
If unforeseen circumstances arise that prevent the normal development of the subject, the instructors may modify both the methodology and the assessment of the subject. If, during the grading process, there are indications that an activity or assignment has been completed using AI-assisted responses, the instructor may supplement the activity with a personal interview to verify the authorship of the text.
For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may result in a partial or full penalty on the activity grade, or other sanctions. older in severe cases.
Bibliography
At the beginning of the course and throughout its development, a PDF document will be provided which is considered the manual or reference for the subject and will be available in the Virtual Classroom, as well as the rest of the basic bibliography of the course, in addition to the readings that will be provided and should be supplemented with the reference guides that will also be provided in the virtual classroom of the subject.
Software
This subject Will use the basic software of the office 365 suite
