Learning Outcomes
- CM21 (Competence) Use computer software for numerical calculation, symbolic calculation, graphic visualisation, optimisation and statistical analysis necessary to apply, complement or exemplify the statistical analyses considered in the Bachelor's Degree final Project (TFG).
- CM22 (Competence) Plan a professional or academic work in fields related to statistics.
- KM20 (Knowledge) Identify mathematical tools and statistical models or techniques suitable for use when writing the Bachelor's Degree Final Project (TFG).

Content
The final degree works (TFG) may be rather theoretical (some topic of statistics that is not worked on any of the subjects of the degree) or of a more practical nature (to study in depth a problem and / or specific data ). In the first case it will have to contain examples of practical application of the results studied. In the second case, it must contain an adequate theoretical foundation of the results that are used.
The student and the tutor will determine the content of the TFG when this subject begins. The work can be chosen from those proposed by the teachers of the degree or can be proposed by the same student within a line of interest offered by the professors of the Department of Mathematics or Sociology. In both cases you must have the approval of the degree coordinator.
The extension of the TFG can be variable but it is recommended between fifteen and thirty pages. The work can be presented in Catalan, Spanish or English. The first page will include a title, author and tutor, place and dates where the work is carried out. It will then follow a summary that will be in the same language of the text and with its English language version. Non-original content must have been clearly referenced in the bibliography that will appear at the end of the text.

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
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contents | 70% | 0.5 | 0.02 | CM21, CM22, KM20, SM24, SM25, SM26, SM27, SM28 |
| Debate | 10% | 0.25 | 0.01 | SM25, SM26, SM28 |
| Presentation | 20% | 0.25 | 0.01 | SM25, SM26, SM28 |
Evaluation of the TFG occurs in two phases. First, a jury made up of three members of the faculty evaluates, giving up to a maximum of 8 points, the working document (written memory) delivered to the Virtual Campus.
Afterwards, the Presentation is assessed according to the previous result. For works with scores less than 7.2 (about 8), the Presentation is evaluated by the tutor himself with a maximum of 2 points. In this situation, the final grade will be at most 9 (Work + Presentation).
The student who scores greater than or equal to 7.2 points in the memory, may decide that the Presentation is evaluated by his guardian/a, increases the rating to 2 additional points (in this case, the final grade will be at most 9), or alternatively make the Presentation before the Special Jury and increase the score obtained up to 2.5 additional points.
In each call, the maximum number of pupils eligible to submit to the Special Jury is 40% above the TFG registration of the corresponding call (ordered according to the Labour note). If a student decides to make the presentation in the Special Court, but it is outside the 40% mentioned above, the presentation will be assessed by his director with the possibility of increasing the rating to 2 points.
