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") under the "Act in an Emergency" section, "Technical Guides" tab, 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, in the "Act in an Emergency", sectionrecommendations 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.

20 %
Written and/or oral exams (assessment of theoretic and applied content and/or laboratory practice)
An examination-type assessment activity, with an overall weighting of 50%. The assessment is structured into two parts: a first midterm exam, with a weighting of 25%, to be held during the semester, and a test corresponding to the second block of contents, with a weighting of 25%, to be held as part of the final assessment system. The minimum mark required to be averaged with the rest of the assessment activities is 4 out of 10, applied to the average mark of both parts.
50 %
Delivery of exercises and / or practices
Consiste en dos actividades de evaluación:
Primera actividad: Los estudiantes realizarán un cuestionario sobre cada una de las prácticas en la fecha indicada por el profesor mediante aula virtual con un peso del 20%.
Segunda actividad: entregas relacionadas con los contenidos teóricos consistentes en otras actividades propuestas por el profesor en el Aula Virtual (problemas, ejercicios, cuestiones, visualización de vídeos, envío de trabajos, etc.) con un peso del 10%.
30 %
The assessment system for the subject consists of the following activities:
Laboratory practical assignment, with a weighting of 20%. It will be carried out during the teaching period, on the dates indicated through the Virtual Classroom.
Written and/or oral exams, with an overall weighting of 50%. This activity will be assessed by means of a first midterm exam, with a weighting of 25%, to be held during the semester in the week reserved by the Centre for midterm exams, outside the regular teaching timetable, and a test corresponding to the second block of contents, with a weighting of 25%, to be held as part of the final assessment system. The minimum mark required to be averaged with the rest of the assessment activities is 4 out of 10, applied to the average mark of both parts.
Assignments consisting of exercises and/or laboratory practical work, with an overall weighting of 30%. This activity includes quizzes on laboratory practical sessions, with a weighting of 20%, and assignments related to theoretical contents, with a weighting of 10%. They will be carried out during the teaching period, on the dates indicated through the Virtual Classroom.
In the ordinary and extraordinary examination periods, there will be an equivalent activity for each continuous assessment activity, with the same weighting: laboratory practical assignment 20%, written and/or oral exams 50%, and assignments consisting of exercises and/or laboratory practical work 30%. Students may recover activities not passed or not completed and may obtain up to 100% of the final mark.
The marks obtained in activities passed during the academic year will be kept until the extraordinary examination period. If a student decides to take again an activity already passed in the final assessment, the mark obtained in the last attempt will apply.
The marks obtained in the laboratory practical assignment and in the laboratory practical part of the assignments will be kept for subsequent academic years when they are equal to or higher than 4 out of 10, provided that there are no substantial changes in the learning outcomes, contents, practical activities or assessment criteria associated with those activities.
