The Final Project will be done individually for each student enrolled under the tutelage and guidance of a teacher-mentor who will guide you in preparation. To this end, organize seminars, individual tutorials and cooperative working groups that help the student to integrate theoretical and practical teaching received throughout the degree. Take into account the correlation with the profile defined by humanist International University of Catalunya. In addition, specially incorporated the principles and methodology of the care and management and processing of information and scientific documentation.

 

The final paper grade, the student will deepen the knowledge acquired in the step. During this learning period will demonstrate that it is able to use the strategies learned to make a correct identification of health problems of the individual and his family and based on scientific literature carried out a proposed plan of care at any healthcare environment.

 

The work of searching for information and planning will be evident that the student will be able to:

 

• Application of skills acquired in a case of clinical practice

 

• Conduct an analysis of the realities of health care and its implications for welfare and health of the individual / family and community

 

• Find strategies to facilitate the incorporation of innovative approaches to nursing professionals and are based on scientific evidence and pursue the goal of providing care and improve the health of individuals and communities.

 


 

The realization of TFG includes several key moments:

Will the Evaluation Commission of the TFG who check requests from students and produce assignments and tutors themes that run them.

 

b) Attendance at the seminars mandatory

 

c) Carrying out the activities planned virtual

 

d) Assistance to individual and group tutorials (will require 80% attendance of tutorials in order to present the TFG for its defense). The Annex shows the tutorial GFR planning both group and individual tutoring, and the objectives of each of the tutorials and work that is required in each one of them.

 

c) Planning: The student and tutor plan the activities of autonomous work the student must take the proper execution of the TFG

 

d) Development: This is the central phase of the GFR. During this phase, students work independently with the support of his tutor and group and individual tutoring.

 

e) Delivery of the GFR: See annex which publishes the dates of the different deliveries.

 

f) Public presentation of the GFR: See annex which publishes the dates of the different deliveries.

 


 

Tutoring process

 

The tutor is the teacher who advises the student in the learning process and development of the work, following the steps listed above, the appropriate scheme according to the type of work selected, the timing

 

Annex published on the intranet, the student can see the plan programming tutorial, with their individual targets for each of the tutorials.

 

Failure to attend 80% of tutorials will mean that students may not make the TFG on schedule.

 

To qualify for Round 2 will be equally necessary that the student has attended at least 80% of tutorials throughout the course.

 

The GFR will start in September with the start of the 4th year course of grade and end in June with either Round 1 or July, coinciding with 2nd call.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person

The bachelor’s thesis will be evaluated based on its presentation and defence before a jury. It will be assessed on the basis of the grading system for official university degrees valid throughout the country as per Royal Decree 1125/2003 of 5 September (BOE No. 224, 18 September 2003). 

The evaluation jury will comprise the bachelor’s thesis tutor as well as other professors from the nursing department and individuals from other departments who are experts in the field of study. Occasionally, the jury may involve healthcare professionals from medical centres.

After deliberation, the jury shall proceed to:

  • Accept or reject the thesis presented by simple majority. In the event of a tie, the president’s vote shall be considered decisive.
  • Assign the thesis the average mark issued by the jury members.
  • Complete the Evaluation Record, which will be signed by all jury members.
  • Announce the mark in a public session.
  • In the event in which the bachelor’s thesis is rejected, the jury will proceed to prepare a report listing the errors, omissions and deficiencies that must be corrected and which led to the rejection of the bachelor’s thesis.

 

The following criteria will be considered in the evaluation:

 

  1. Evaluation of the tutorial process (the tutor will assess the learning process and thesis execution jointly with the student). Jury members will take into account whether or not the planned objectives for each tutoring session have been achieved.
  2. Assessment of the evaluation jury: The jury shall comprise lecturers from the bachelor’s thesis course and may also include nursing professionals from collaborating centres.

The jury will evaluate the written work, the oral defence, the tutorial process and peer review. The assessment will also include a self-evaluation by the student. 

To pass, the bachelor’s thesis must earn a mark equal to or greater than 4.5 in each of the evaluated parts (tutorial process / oral defence / written work).

  1. Students who fail the bachelor’s thesis course in the first sitting may opt for a second sitting as long as they have attended 80% of the tutorial sessions.
  2. Students who fail the bachelor’s thesis course in the second sitting must re-enrol in the bachelor’s thesis course.
  3. The bachelor’s thesis course is passed with a minimum of 5 out of 10 points.
  4. The bachelor’s thesis tutor may decide not to present a thesis if he or she deems that it does not meet the minimum threshold to be publicly defended.
  5. The aforementioned factors will make up 90% of the bachelor’s thesis course evaluation. The remaining 10% will depend on the students’ attendance of mandatory seminars, exercises assigned by seminar lecturers, case presentations and active participation during seminars.

 

 

The following criteria will be considered in the evaluation:

  • Magnitude of the problem addressed (the degree of difficulty or complexity of the clinical case)
  • Originality of the case presented
  • Degree of compliance with the objectives
  • Bibliographical sources consulted
  • Quality in the preparation of the written document
  • Quality in the oral defence
  • Estimation of the student’s dedication
  • Reports of the learning process throughout the thesis preparation process

 

The assessment will be carried out by way of evaluation categories that aid in the standardisation of the evaluative criteria. There are seven evaluation categories:

Category 1: The student’s self-evaluation. This will be submitted by students to their tutor alongside submission of the bachelor’s thesis. Evaluates competences CG22, CG16, CG24, CB21, CE25, CB19, CG23, CB12 and CE29. This accounts for 5% of the total.

Category 2: Continuous lecturer assessment. Evaluates competences CG22, CG16, CG24, CB21, CE25, CB19, CG23 and CB12. This accounts for 25% of the total.

Category 3: The tutor’s evaluation of the final bachelor’s thesis. Evaluates competences CG22, CG16, CG24, CB21, CE25, CB19, CG23, CB12 and CE29. This accounts for 25% of the total.

Category 4: Evaluation of oral communication during the public defence of the bachelor’s thesis. Evaluates competency CB21. This accounts for 10% of the total.

Category 5: Jury evaluation. Evaluates competences CG22, CG16, CB21, CB19, CG23, CB12 and CE29. This accounts for 25% of the total. 

Category 6: Peer review. Evaluates competences CG22, CG16, CB21, CB19, CG23, CB12 and CE29. This accounts for 5% of the total. 

Category 7: Peer review evaluation. Evaluates competences CB21, CB19, CG23 and CB12. This accounts for 5% of the total.

The rating may be numerical from 1 to 10 with decimals, which may be supplemented with the corresponding qualitative rating of Fail, Pass, Good, Excellent and A with honours.

“A with honours” (Distinction) may be granted for theses that have received marks equal to or greater than 9.5. These are outstanding projects that have addressed a highly complex problem, adopted a very original approach, gone beyond the initially proposed objectives, have been presented with great clarity, and have been defended with a clear argument based on logical reasoning. No distinctions will be awarded for second sittings.
