La implicación del docente en el trabajo fin de grado: responsabilidades y reconocimiento académico

Abstract

These pages try to analyze the university experiences doing a Final Work Paper. The
Spanish university had changed very much among the last years and by this reason it’s
very important to look over that changes because some aspects aren`t contributing to
better the old model of university. The Final Work Paper is an obligatory subject inside
Law Degree and it has recognized six credits. That means about 150 students works
hours and three hours more working with the university advisor or teacher. There are a
lot of problems to resolve in this matter but the first question to study is the enormous
heterogeneity from each University and kind of Degree. We consider only two aspects:
universities teacher responsibilities and docents awarding by credits. Both of them are
no good designed by the moment and proof of that are multiple and different
regulations. In Spain this final work paper isn’t a research work but paradoxically has
worked like that. Finally, after some critical ideas, we want to add suggestions to
improve or better formal aspects and content of final work paper.
