Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The teaching-learning methodology is expositive, demonstrative and participatory during theoretical-practical classes. It is used the analysis and discussion of concrete examples, in order to interpret and apply the theoretical-practical knowledge acquired in real situations. Practical assignments are offered, either for group presentation or individually. The evaluation of this course unit is carried out continuously during the lessons and includes the following assessment components: 1. Written tests of individual evaluation 2. Practical exercises / exercises proposed for individual elaboration 3. Work / proposed exercises for group preparation Commitment and Participation during classes
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The use of methodologies, expositive of theoretical contents, demonstrative, using practical examples, participative in the analysis and discussion of real cases and work, allow to know and apply the methodologies of hazard identification and risk assessment and definition of control measures. of the risks.
