The student can present and defend their work (in front of an examination panel in the case of the Master’s thesis).
 CT2 Master the tools for managing their own identity and activities in a digital environment.
Search for and find information autonomously using criteria of importance, reliability and relevance, which is useful for creating knowledge.
Organise information with appropriate tools (online and face-to-face) so that it can be updated, retrieved and processed for re-use in future projects.
Produce information with tools and formats appropriate to the communicative situation and with complete honesty.
Use IT to share and exchange the results of academic and scientific projects in interdisciplinary contexts that seek knowledge transfer.
 CT3 Recognise the situation as a problem in a multidisciplinary, research or professional environment, and take an active part in finding a solution.
Follow a systematic method with an overall approach to divide a complex problem into parts and identify the causes by applying scientific and professional knowledge.
Design a new solution by using all the resources necessary and available to cope with the problem.
Draw up a realistic model that specifies all the aspects of the solution proposed.
Assess the model proposed by contrasting it with the real context of application, find shortcomings and suggest improvements.
 CT5 Produce quality texts that have no grammatical or spelling errors, are properly structured and make appropriate and consistent use of formal and bibliographic conventions.

Specific action plan / execution
  Description
Introductory activities
Activities directed to contact the student contact and collect information and presentation of the subject
Mechanisms for coordinating and monitoring the bachelor’s degree/master’s degree thesis Meetings with the tutors and presentation of the advances in programmed sessions
The tutors will prepare a Work Monitoring Report that will collect a summary of each meeting and the presentations of advances.
Drafting of the bachelor’s degree/master’s degree thesis The student will have to prepare a work, directly related to the subjects of the Master, on a subject that you choose. In him, he will have to mobilize both the knowledge and the skills that he has acquired during his studies. It must be a contribution, either of an innovative nature and must necessarily contemplate theoretical and practical aspects of the subject in question, as well as its connection with the professional and / or research practice in the field of the Master's.
The objective is to demonstrate that the competences of the degree have been assimilated and acquired, through the presentation of the master's final work, and their subsequent defense before a university court. This work is an integration exercise of the training contents received and will apply the set of competences acquired by the students.
The presentation and defense of the TFM will be public.
Personal attention This guidance is carried out by the teacher of each subject with the students enrolled in the same. The purpose of this guidance is to plan, guide, dynamise, monitor and evaluate the student's learning process, taking into account their profile interests, needs, previous knowledge, etc.) and the characteristics / requirements of the context ( EEES, academic / professional profile, social-labor demand, etc.).
The actions that will be carried out are the following:
- Welcome to the subject
- Weekly dynamism
- News and events
- Resolution of academic doubts
- Retroaction with the correction of activities
- Abandonment of the subject
- End of the subject
The development of these actions will be carried out with the support of the tools offered by the Virtual Campus Moodle, within the virtual classroom of each subject. So that the best orientation and possible follow-up is offered considering the face-to-face or virtual modality of each subject.
Presentation and defence of the bachelor’s degree/master’s degree thesis The work report in the format determined, must be submitted to the coordinator of the TFM subject prior to the deadline of each call.
The work will be presented orally by the student in front of a court of 3 professors. These professors will have the roles of president, vowel and secretary of the court.
The student who requires to present the presentation of the TFM in a non-contact way, may do so through videoconferencing.

Coordination and monitoring mechanisms
Es durà a terme una coordinació interna (per part de la universitat).
Description

Once the work proposal report has been approved, the student will proceed to the development of the TFM.

You must agree with your tutor for follow-up through regular meetings, which will be collected by the tutor at the Work Monitoring Infograph.

During the development of the TFM, there will be a series of progress presentation sessions, in presence of the TFM Committee, in accordance with the general calendar.
