 Review procedures

As in the case of any other subject, an ordinary review can be requested with the tutor. The review must be personal and individualized and before the date indicated in the academic calendar of the TFG (consult the date in the link of the calendar of procedures:  http://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/graus/graus/calendari-de-tramits-1345704364482.html). A copy of the report made by the reviewer and tutor can be requested from the tutor (These copies of the reports are the documentary evidence required to request the extraordinary review). Once the review has been done and the student's allegations have been heard, the teacher can maintain or modify the grade.

In the event of disagreement with the teacher's revision, the extraordinary revision may be requested, which will be carried out by teachers who have not participated in the ordinary revision or in the correction of the TFG. There is a period of fifteen calendar days - from the closing of the TFG proceedings - to submit to the Academic Management of the Faculty a reasoned request on the specific aspects of the TFG that are believed not to have been adequately assessed by the tutor/ reviewer. It should be noted that claims that do not present documentary evidence of having made the ordinary review (a copy ofthe evaluation reports) and do not reasonably justify the need for a new review will not be considered. Inconsistent, unjustified or poorly argued requests will be rejected. It is the responsibility of the Evaluation Committee of the Final Degree Project to carry out the extraordinary review of the Final Degree Project, which will follow the procedure established in the Faculty for the extraordinary revisions of the other subjects.
