The final evaluation of the course is individual, and the final grade is based on the following two assessments:

1. Ev1 – The written work (individual). The tutor evaluates the written work, which accounts for 60 % of the final grade and consists of three mandatory submissions

• Ev1a – Project proposal (5 %): The student must submit a written proposal of the project agreed upon with the tutor during the first follow-up session. The document must include the provisional title, justification or problem statement, general objectives, methodology, and planning. Additionally, it may include any information the tutor deems relevant (e.g., hypothesis formulation or predictions, definition of basic concepts).
• Ev1b – First part of the work (10 %): The student must submit a written part of the work including at least the introduction, literature review, research objectives or questions, bibliography, and if applicable, the methodology description and sections agreed upon with the tutor in the previous follow-up session.
• Ev1c – Final version of the work (45 %). Combined degrees: students enrolled in combined degrees must also submit a summary in the other language of the degree.

2. Ev2 – Oral defense (in-person, individual). A panel of two professors evaluates the oral defense of the work, which counts for 40 % of the final grade. The oral defense is held in person.
Combined degrees: students must answer questions in the other language of the degree.

Tutors and panel members have rubrics available on Moodle to evaluate the assessments and monitor the student. It is mandatory to submit the written assessments through the application indicated by the course coordinator. Assessments not submitted according to the guidelines or submitted late will receive a zero.

To pass the course, it is necessary to:

• Obtain a grade of 4.9 or higher on each assessment.

• Achieve a final grade of 4.9 or higher on the weighted average of the written work and oral presentation grades.

Formal requirements

The written work (Ev1c) must be between 20 and 40 pages long (2,100 characters per page), excluding acknowledgments, bibliography, and possible appendices. It must include two abstracts – one in Catalan and one in English – and five keywords. Regarding other formal aspects (structure, citations, bibliographic references...), standard academic criteria for this type of text and the relevant knowledge field apply, which can be consulted with the tutor.

The oral defense must last between 15 and 20 minutes. After the presentation, the panel may ask questions.

Language

The work must be written and orally defended in Catalan. It must comply with academic standards in linguistic norms, writing style, other aspects of written communication, as well as phonetics and oral communication. Otherwise, the final grade may be negatively affected or the activity could be failed.

Combined degrees

Common criterion for all philological degrees: "students in combined degrees must include an extended summary (5 to 8 pages) of the work done in the degree’s other language. This summary should include objectives, methodology, analysis of results, and evaluation of conclusions. Linguistic competence and academic use of both languages will be assessed by a panel of specialists in both languages. The panel will consider both parts written in different languages and oral expression, as questions will be asked in both languages during the presentation, which the student must answer accordingly."

Review

The final grade review is the responsibility of the course coordinator, who will announce the date and time when final grades are published.

Honors distinction

According to the Final Degree Project Protocol of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, a committee appointed by the coordinator will grant Honors only in the ordinary call, considering 75 % the TFG grade and 25 % the student’s academic record.

Not evaluable

Students who fail to submit either the final written work (Ev1c) or the oral defense (Ev2) will be considered not evaluable.

Single evaluation / Recovery

The course does not allow a single evaluation system nor any recovery mechanisms.

Extraordinary call

Students enrolled for the second time who have the coordinator’s approval may present the TFG in the extraordinary call.

Plagiarism

If the student commits any irregularity that may significantly affect the evaluation, the assessment will be graded zero regardless of disciplinary procedures. Multiple irregularities will result in a final grade of zero.

Artificial intelligence

Common criterion for all philological degrees: "For this course, given its nature, the use of Artificial Intelligence technologies to generate text or translations is not allowed. In other cases, use is subject to the tutor’s criteria, with written consent specifying permitted tasks. Students must clearly identify AI-generated parts, explain their use, and include a critical reflection on how these influenced the process and final result, together with the tutor’s consent, as annexes at the end of the work. Lack of transparency will be considered academic dishonesty and may lead to penalties or sanctions."

TFG publication in the DDD

If the student obtains a grade of 9 or higher on the written work and wishes to publish it in the UAB’s Digital Document Deposit (DDD), they must sign and submit the consent form prepared by the Humanities Library to the TFG coordinator.
