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.

Attendance and participation in classes and internships
The practices developed throughout the course will be evaluated by means of a practical theoretical exam carried out together with the individual test. This evaluation will be 30% of the grade and will allow the student to recover the practices in the case of not having been able to do them.
10 %
The monitoring of learning will be carried out in the following way: - Questions raised during the theoretical classes and discussion stimulation on the subject, - Work and evaluation of the activities carried out by the student in solving the proposed problems and laboratory practices. , - tutorials.
The qualification of the practices will be saved for successive courses.
The qualification of the partials approved will be saved until the July call
In each part of the exams, a 3 or a 4 out of 10 must be reached as a general rule in order to qualify for the average according to the Eval Regulations. UPCtT
