Universidad de Jaén

The TFM will be focused on a research problem related to the subjects of the Master's programme.

The training activities (A3 Final Master's Thesis) are mainly focused on practical proposals on the virtual platform that complement the training acquired in the lectures. Training videos are included to promote teaching using the inverted classroom. Likewise, each Master's student will be assigned a director of the TFM who will carry out individual monitoring during the period of preparation of the work. Training activities and teaching methodologies will be used that include face-to-face and online tutorials as well as team work and projects related to the same or similar lines of research. Once these activities have been defined, the teaching staff will assign hours to each of them. Consideration will be given to the estimated time it would take to carry out each activity, the number of students, the amount of work expected of them, as well as the needs of the students. As an approximation, the following is proposed

Face-to-face and online tutorials = 6h
Team work = 5h
Project work = 5h

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

Assessment and Marking of the TFM

S5 includes both the evaluation of the TFM report and the presentation and debate before a panel of experts.

The percentage of assessment assigned to each part is 70% and 30% respectively. These are detailed below:

Evaluation of the report (70%):
Structure and format. Correct grammar and spelling = 1 point.
Quality of content, original approach, development, coherence and updating = 5 points.
Knowledge and use of relevant and updated bibliography in relation to the selected topic = 1 point.

Evaluation of the presentation and defence (30%):
Clarity and order in the presentation; mastery of the content and presentation of the main contributions of the work = 2 points.
Verbal and non-verbal communication. Reasoned response to the questions posed by the assessors = 1 point.

The panels will be composed of three PhD members.
The tutor may not be a member of the examining board.
Once the examination has been completed and after deliberation by the examining board, the paper will be graded. The grade will be awarded on a numerical scale from 0 to 10, to one decimal place, to which must be added the corresponding qualitative grade: 0 to 4.9: Fail; 5.0 to 6.9: Pass; 7.0 to 8.9: Merit; 9.0 to 10: Outstanding. At the end of the call, the Academic Coordination Committees of the master's degree programmes, in view of the reports issued by the selection panels and, where appropriate, after hearing the chair of each panel, will decide on the awarding of the mention of Honours to the dissertations they deem appropriate, in accordance with the regulations in force.

The identification by the examining board of plagiarism in the TFM, either in the deposit or defence phase, will be grounds for a grade of Fail (0), regardless of the measures provided for in the disciplinary regime of the University of Jaén. In the event that plagiarism is detected before the public defence, the student will lose his/her right to the defence.

The examining board will draw up a record of the defence of the dissertation, which, in addition to the appropriate grades in each case, must include any students who did not present for the defence of the dissertation, if any.

If the result of the grade is Failed, the examining board will send a report with the recommendations it considers appropriate for its improvement and subsequent evaluation to the tutoring lecturer and to the students responsible for the TFM.

Revision of the grade

The revision of the TFM grade will be carried out after submitting a reasoned complaint to the Academic Coordination Committee of the Master's Degree. The regulations governing the University of Jaén's examination or assessment claims system will be applicable.

The TFM management sessions will be held in person, provided that there is a room with security guarantees, otherwise they will be held online in a synchronous manner.

The entire TFM management process as well as the defence ceremony will be carried out online. The latter will be carried out synchronously on a date scheduled in advance.
