Office hours

Cada tutor farà arribar als alumnes que tingui assignats la seva disponibilitat horària per atendre’ls, i la manera de concretar les entrevistes de seguiment del TFG. La responsabilitat d’acudir al tutor és de l’alumne i les conseqüències de no aprofitar les sessions de tutoria també, ja que a quart curs es dóna per suposada l’autonomia per saber quan necessiten ajuda.

 

El tutor té la missió d’orientar acadèmicament els alumnes assignats, a petició d’aquests. Després del tercer Seminari grupal, convé que hi hagi:

   - una primera entrevista amb el tutor per acabar d’orientar la metodologia de treball, bibliografia, etc.

   - una segona entrevista de seguiment i revisió del que s’ha fet.

   - una tercera i última entrevista per revisar el producte i marcar els canvis necessaris abans d’avaluar-lo.

   - L’alumne ha de valorar el temps del tutor portant l’entrevista molt preparada, amb preguntes concretes i ben pensades; si l’alumne no les porta ben preparades, el tutor ho tindrà en compte a l’avaluació dels processos.

   - En qualsevol cas, el tutor pot tenir fins a un màxim de cinc entrevistes amb cada alumne assignat.

   - No es permeten sessions de tutoria a través de l’email o d’altres mitjans similars, ja que solen dificultar la previsió de treball i l’ordre personal del tutor, com la comunicació clara i efectiva. Aquest tipus de tutorització es permetrà als alumnes en mobilitat i de la manera que concreti cada tutor.

   - Els alumnes que no estan en mobilitat, han de fer com a mínim dues tutories presencials per aprovar el Procés.

Teaching and learning activities

In person

The 7th semester of the Degree students will have three Training Seminars, aimed at helping you so that you can bring the End of Degree Work to fruition. The third Seminar you will do with your TFG tutor.

After the third Seminar - by the 8th semester - you will have personal interviews with your tutor, who will advise you on the work you are doing.

There are three modalities:

  A: Work written in Catalan, oral defense in Spanish and abstract in English.

  B: Written work written in Spanish, oral defense in Catalan and abstract in English.

  C: Written work, oral defense in English and abstract in English (compulsory modality for mentions of English).

 

The TFG must be a process of research - limiting, intervention and / or innovation developed by the students, which becomes a key element of their curriculum and at the same time allows to assess their degree of autonomy.

In the document "Regulations of the TFG" you will find more specified the methodologies, training activities, evaluation, typologies of possible TFG, etc .; It is important that you read this document carefully.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person

The final grade of the TFG will derive from the note of each of the following three parts:

     -PROCESS: about 20% (only the tutor evaluates) (we'll precise at the at beginning of the 2nd semester)

     -PRODUCT: about 50% (evaluates the whole court)(we'll precise at the at beginning of the 2nd semester)

     -DEFENSA: about 30% (evaluates the whole court)(we'll precise at the at beginning of the 2nd semester)

 It will be necessary to pass each of the parts (process, result and defense) to overcome the TFG.

 

Any plagiarism, copy of a companion, fraud in an activity that evaluates or falsifies a document will be considered a serious act against the dignity of the person and that of the teaching profession. If there are no delusions, as it could be a clear involuntarity, plagiarism is sufficient reason to consider the subject as not approved.

 

Defense evaluation

The coordinator of the TFG will design a jury consisting of three people, who will be professors of the UIC; It will be ensured that all are doctors. In the case of an absence in the court, any of the members provided by another faculty member may be substituted.

The oldest doctor will be presided over by the court.

The court, after the student's exposition, will ask questions to certify:

     - That the work is unpublished and original.

     - That the student understands well and is able to explain orally what he has written.

     - That is able to answer questions that the court has formulated during the reading of the work or during the exhibition.

The result of the evaluation will not be communicated to the student on the day of the defense (not even the partial evaluation of a member of the defense court), but later, and the court will attend the students who wish to comment something or make a Review of the TFG Evaluation.

 

Evaluation of the Process

It corresponds only to the tutor. It will assess, in the first place, the preparation and the use that the student has made of the interviews with the tutor from the third Seminar. Consult the minimum mandatory tutorials in the Regulations.

 

Evaluation of the final product

The members of the court, will carry out an evaluation of the work referring to the final product presented in writing.

The Final Project will be qualified in accordance with the numerical scale established in article 5 of Royal Decree 1125/2003, of September 5, which establishes the European credit system and the system of qualifications in the university degrees of official character and validity in all the national territory.

The students who obtain an Excelent of the TFG and those who are proposed by the court, will be able to opt for the Matrícula of Honor following the instructions that will be communicated to them.
