UCO GUIDE TO PREPARE AND EVALUATE AN UNDERGRADUATE FINAL DISSERTATION: PROBLEM ANALYSIS AND MERGING PROPOSAL FOR SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The present project mains to solve a series of problems that occur during the process of preparation and defence of the undergraduate final dissertation (TFG) within the University of Córdoba. Although there are currently efforts to improve the criteria applied in the different centres of the UCO, it has been possible to verify a lack of uniformity in the guides and in the recommendations related to the realization of the TFG, something that, beyond the understandable adaptation to the characteristics of each area, may pose a risk to the achievement of a fair evaluation system. In addition, some faculties lack public evaluation criteria, which may give rise to arbitrary or irregular situations. To do this, first of all, the opinion of teachers and students regarding the TFG has been analysed. In order to solve the deficiencies found, a solution has been proposed that encompasses all the centres that make up the UCO: a scale that contemplates the basic competences recognized by the current legislation, common to all grades, and of a transdisciplinary nature to be able to build a more reasonable, coherent and uniform evaluation system for the entire University of Córdoba.
