Methodology

Face-to-face modality, Online Guided and Online Self Driven

The methodology used is based on Project Based Learning (PBL), so that the subject is organized into:
• Work sessions supervised by the teachers, who act as mentors of the work to be done, providing suggestions and guidelines. It will be the responsibility of the students to investigate and deepen the best practices for the development of a project.
• Presentation and final defense before a court, which will evaluate the subject.

Evaluation

Face-to-face modality, Online Guided and Online Self Driven

The TFM will be evaluated by a tribunal composed of a president and two members.
The evaluation of the subject will be based on the individual performance of the student and the defense of the work before a court, according to the following distribution:

• Work of the subject (50%)
• Court filing (50%)

The grade is out of 10 and is passed with a grade equal to or greater than 5.
To defend the TFM, students must have passed all the subjects of the master's degree.

Evaluation Criteria
