Methodology

Teaching language: Spanish
 
The TFG consists of a research work supervised by a tutor.
 
The calendar and the list of TFG proposals made by the faculty of the Degree will be published in the Moodle classroom of the subject. This list will include the professor and the list of his/her proposals.
In case of doing the TFG with data from a company or institution, the students will have to communicate it to the TFG Coordinator to study the viability of the work.
A first space for submission will be opened where students will have to upload the request for the topic and/or tutor. Once the topic and tutor have been assigned, the student must contact the tutor to arrange the first tutorial.
 
Duties of the tutor:
The TFG tutor will conduct a minimum of four tutorials during the course. At the initial tutorial the tutor will agree on the topic with the student and will suggest a minimum bibliography to start working on.
 
The other two follow-up tutorials will serve to guide the student's work. Finally, in the last tutorial, he/she will suggest the final modifications.
 
It is recommended to the students, for a good follow-up of the TFG, to deliver the drafts indicated in the calendar to the tutor:
-Delivery 1: Introduction, Objectives of the TFG, Methodology and Bibliographical references. The idea is that the first delivery shows the research carried out, the bibliography consulted and the approach that the students want to give it.
-Delivery 2. First draft of the TFG where the development part of the work is already sufficiently deepened because the tutor can make the appropriate indications.
-Delivery 3. Delivery of the finished work so that the tutor can assess whether it is appropriate to authorize the formal delivery. This delivery must be done 15 days before the final delivery date of the TFG Moodle space.
 
The tutor will have available in this Teaching Guide, available in the Moodle classroom of the subject, a monitoring sheet in which the development of the tutorials, the contents treated in them and the commitments assumed by the students will be registered. At the end of each session the tutor and the student will have to sign the content and commitments adopted.
 
During the monitoring of the TFG the student will develop the documentation required for the evaluation of this, which must be delivered in the Moodle space designated for it (TFG, final summary of the TFG and poster).
 
The TFG follow-up calendar will be published in the Moodle classroom of the course.
 
Students must attend the face-to-face sessions scheduled in the timetable available on the School's website. In these sessions, emphasis will be placed on methodology, editing, research and citation issues. 
 
A session will be reserved to explain and clarify doubts about the elaboration of the Poster.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

Within the deadline foreseen in the calendar, students must submit the TFG, with the authorization of the tutor in the open space in the Moodle classroom of the subject. To avoid possible incidences, they will also have to send it by e-mail to the teacher responsible for the subject. Within the deadline, the tutor of the TFG will have to submit an evaluation report in which a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the work done by the student will be made, according to the document that the professor responsible for the TFG will make available and to which the monitoring sheet will be added.

Students must upload the document of Original Work Commitment in the open space for the submission of the TFG. Without this document the TFG will not be graded.

The maximum evaluation with which the tutor can grade the TFG is 10, taking into account that the final weight of the grade is 70%.

Students will elaborate an Abstract and a Poster that will be delivered together with the TFG in the Moodle classroom (10%).

All students will defend their TFG before the Evaluation Committee (20%).

The Evaluation Committee will evaluate the Abstract and the Poster that the student will elaborate, as well as the oral presentation.

The TFG defense calendar will be published in the Moodle classroom with the date, time, and place of the defense.

Failure to submit the TFG on the indicated date will result in a "Not Evaluable".

 

Exceptional calls

FEBRUARY CALL. Only for students who are ready to finish their studies in the February call.

SEPTEMBER CONVOCATION. Exceptionally, the TFG may be submitted in September, always in agreement with the tutor and the coordination of the TFG.

If the TFG tutor fails the TFG, the student has the possibility of an ordinary review, by the same tutor. Likewise, students may request an extraordinary review through the mechanisms provided for in the academic regulations.

The TFG does not have recovery.

Other considerations - Plagiarism

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In case of several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0".

If during the correction of the TFG there are indications that it has been done with answers assisted by artificial intelligence or by third parties, the tutor may complement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.
