Description of contents: programme
Original exercise to be presented and defended in front of an academic committee. The work will be an integral project in the field of the Bachelor degree that will be professionally oriented where the different competences acquired during the degree courses should be demonstrated or an innovative work developing an idea, prototype or a model of systems or equipments within the field developed during the Bachelor degree.
Learning activities and methodology
The learning activities and methodology for the End of Degree Work are specified in the corresponding university regulation: http://www.uc3m.es/ss/Satellite/SecretariaVirtual/es/TextoMixta/1371210936260/ The student will develop the skills acquired throughout their studies and apply the knowledge learned to carry out a project within the scope of this Degree that will end with a written report. It will reflect the analysis, resolution of issues and conclusions that correspond to the scope of the project. It supposes 299 hours with 0% attendance. The student will defend and present their project before a court clearly arguing the corresponding questions and resolving the problems that may have arisen in the project. 1 hour/100% face-to-face The tutor for the Bachelor's Degree Final Project helps and guides the student in all aspects necessary to carry out a solid final Project, and to write a corresponding clear and professional report. The tutoring sessions can be on-site or on line.
Assessment System
It will be done through an oral test for the Defense of the Final Degree Project before a court chosen for that purpose, which will assess the student's work, the results obtained and their presentation according to an evaluation rubric or matrix. Previously, the student must prepare a report of the work carried out that will be delivered to the members of the court with due notice. In addition, an evaluation of the originality of the final degree project is carried out. The University uses the Turnitin Feedback Studio program within Aula Global to deliver student work. This program compares the originality of the work submitted by each student with millions of electronic resources and detects those parts of the text copied and pasted. The defense evaluation percentage will be 100%.
