Teaching methods
In general, most of the lessons will take place as classroom teaching with the use of visual aids and classroom discussion with students.
The module "Methods of risk assessment in the workplace," use the method of administration and discussion of "CASE STUDYES"
- EXERCISE n. 1 (analysis of safety data sheets in small groups to
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION and INFORMATION FOR ASSESSING
RISK - IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF
INFORMATION AND TRAINING OF WORKERS)
- EXERCISE n. 2 - CASE STUDY (analysis of cases of production cycles or
work situations) and subsequent presentation discussion, reflection
and discussion in the classroom
Assessment methods and criteria
The assessment of the learning is carried out through a final examination, to verify how much the student has learned in relation to the contents of all three modules of the integrated course.
Upon online registration and completion of the OPIS, the student must:
a) prepare a 3-page report on a chemical risk present in a defined working context (to be delivered at least 7 working days before the date of the appeal to the teachers of the integrated course);
b) take an oral exam (in presence or on Teams depending on the pandemic situation) that involves the discussion of the report and questions on topics covered in class.
The student will have to demonstrate that he has understood, and be able to apply, the concepts of every subject dealt with.
The overall assessment, in thirtieth, is communicated immediately to the student, and corresponds to the average of the grades obtained in the three modules that make up the integrated course.
Students with DSA/BSE must contact the University Reception and Inclusion Centre in advance (cai@unipr.it).
