Introduction

The subject Bachelor’s Thesis Presentation should provide the student with the experience and necessary content to be able to follow the protocol of a clinical study or carry out the experimental development of a study that will allow him or her to complete an evidence-based research project and defend it before an evaluation panel.

Pre-course requirements

The student must have passed the subjects of the first three years of the degree programme and 80% of the subjects of the fourth year, as well as the subject Bachelor’s Thesis.

Objectives

At the end of their bachelor’s studies, students should be able to demonstrate the knowledge they have acquired during the degree programme regarding a given topic, providing specific evidence-based detail through the development of a research project under the basic research lines established. At the end of the course, students should be able to duly defend their project before an evaluation panel.

Teaching and learning activities


In blended

Just like it’s a face-to-face model and it’s a lot of individual student work and it brings together tutors who can be virtual or face-to-face.

Everything is managed by the platform as we have done so far.

Evaluation systems and criteria


In blended

There will be a continuous evaluation of the student through tutorials according to the established schedule. 
Individual work: The teacher will have an evaluation sheet that must be completed in each tutorial,
evaluating a series of parameters that will allow in an objective way the monitoring of the individual work of the student. 
Tutorials: The teacher will rate the communication with the student, as well as the evolution of this in the different stages. 
The presentation of the tasks entrusted, punctuality, interest..etc. 
Attendance at all activities related to the subject is mandatory and has an impact on the final grade. 
At the end of the second semester and according to the same calendar, the TFG will be distributed among the different 
members of the court, carrying out its evaluation. The student will then orally defend the TFG against the court. 
this court can be made in person or through the collaborate 
20% Individual work 
20% Tutorials
40% Final Degree Project 
20% Defense
