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.

Individual test (oral or written)
The student will choose 3 recent scientific articles from the last 5 years, related to the subject and listed in the JCR of the ISI web of Knowledge, which have not been provided by the professor. He/she will have to read and understand them. They will request a tutorial with the professor in charge where one of them will be chosen to make an audiovisual presentation of the same (10-12 min) to the rest of students and teachers on the day set for the exam. He/she will have to present a general introduction of the chosen topic, with the knowledge acquired in class. Then, he/she will present the materials and methods of the article, as well as the results and conclusions obtained in the article, discussing them with the knowledge acquired in the course.
