Teaching methods
The course will be held through lectures to Students either in the classroom (“in presenza”) or in synchronous-streaming (“in telepresenza”) on the Teams platform. Therefore, the opportunity of Student/Teacher interaction will be preserved both face to face and remotely, by the simultaneous use of the Teams platform.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly2020.medicina.unipr.it).
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 learning of teaching content
only provides for verification through interview questions with ralative
the contents of the modules of teaching starting from a manuscript (2-3 pages) written by the student.
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
