Syllabus
Teaching and learning activities
In person
Carrying out the TFG includes several tasks or fundamental training activities: • Attendance at individual tutorials • Attendance at group seminars • Planning • Developing • Individual work, autonomous and directed by the tutor • Drafting of a written memory • Delivery • Presentation and individual public defense • Completion of rubrics
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
The evaluation process corresponds to a continuous evaluation by competencies throughout the completion of the TFG. There are several evaluative moments, as well as the agents or actors of the evaluation:
- Evaluation of the process of carrying out the TFG by the tutor.
- Final evaluation of the TFG by the tutor.
- Evaluation of the TFG by the court.
- Entity, difficulty, complexity and originality of the project included in the TFG.
- Degree of achievement of the objectives.
- Bibliographic sources consulted and how they have been cited in the memory and in the presentation.
- Quality in the elaboration of the written document of the academic memory of the TFG.
- Quality in the presentation and oral defense before the court of the TFG.
- Degree of commitment and dedication of the students to the research project.
- Learning, skills and abilities demonstrated during the performance of the work.

Important considerations:
- The TFG subject is approved with a minimum of 5 out of 10 points.
- To obtain the final average, a minimum of 5 out of 10 points must be obtained from each of the parts.
- Plagiarism, copying or any other action that can be considered cheating will result in a zero in that evaluation section.
- Exchange students (Erasmus and others) or repeaters will be subject to the same conditions as the rest of the student body.
