Promoting the continuous improvement of working and study conditions of the entire university community is one the basic principles and goals of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena. Such commitment to prevention and the responsibilities arising from it concern all realms of the university: governing bodies, management team, teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. The UPCT Service of Occupational Hazards (Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales de la UPCT) has published a "Risk Prevention Manual for new students" (Manual de acogida al estudiante en materia de prevención de riesgos), which may be downloaded from the e-learning platform ("Aula Virtual"), with instructions and recommendations on how to act properly, from the point of view of prevention (safety, ergonomics, etc.), when developing any type of activity at the University. You will also find recommendations on how to proceed in an emergency or if an incident occurs. Particularly when carrying out training practices in laboratories, workshops or field work, you must follow all your teacher's instructions, because he/she is the person responsible for your safety and health during practice performance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and do not put your safety or that of your classmates at risk.
Class in conventional classroom: theory, problems, case studies, seminars, etc

Solving proposed exercices
- Attendance to lab sessions is compulsory in the continuous assessment system, as well as the realization of the deliverables and reports with the results of each practice before the deadline expires.
- The continuous assessment of the Lab session could take into account the following factors: monitoring of the work done in the laboratory by the lecturers and the reports with the results of each lab practice.
- To pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain at least 3 points out of 10 in the laboratory practice part and in each of the midterm exams. In the final evaluation system, this same minimum mark is established for each of the parts that correspond to the continuous evaluation system.
- If a student wants to be evaluated for an activity of the final assessment system having passed the minimum marks of the corresponding activity of the continuous assessment one, he or she must give up to the marks obtained in that activity of the continuous assessment system.
- The subject will comply with the regulations of our University regarding either continuous or final exam evaluation.
