work. The time of the presentation and oral presentation before the tutor or
tribunal can be up to 30 minutes and the tutor or tribunal can be up to 30
minutes or the tutor or tribunal can ask questions indistinctively to each
student.
The TFG program of the different Degrees of the Faculty of Philology may
specify specific characteristics of development, reporting and evaluation of
team work.
- Authorize the defense of the TFG by telematic means and establish the
procedure to carry it out, in the case of impossibility or difficulty to do it in
person. The student must guarantee sufficient telematic means so that it
can be carried out.
- Decide and award the corresponding Honors Qualifications, in the event
that there is more than one tribunal per Degree, and propose the TFG to be
published in the USC repository.
- Resolve incidents related to the TFG.
- Any other management related to the TFG or that the Xunta de Facultad
may entrust to it.
Article 5. Registration
According to article 4.1 of the USC Regulations, students who have a
maximum of 75 credits pending to complete their studies, excluding those
corresponding to the TFG, may register for a TFG.
Enrollment will take place in the periods established by the USC and will
entitle the student to two opportunities in the academic year in which he/
she is enrolled. The maximum number of exam periods that the student
may take will be four, since obtaining a "No Show" in any of the
opportunities or in all of them will be computed for the purposes of
consuming the exam period. In any case, not meeting the requirements to
present the work due to having pending subjects will result in the loss of
the right to present it, so it will not be computed for the purposes of
consuming the call and the student may either request that the title and
summary be maintained, the major and after a positive report from the
tutor in the new call (which may be the same or another teacher) or apply
for a new call, in which case it will imply a new place within the offer of
thematic lines.
of them will be the lecturer responsible for the TFG, who must
communicate to the CTFG the name of the lecturer who co-titutes the
work. In the case of the evaluation, the qualification will be determined by
mutual agreement of the tutors.
The co-titorization may already be included in the offer of annual thematic
lines or may be subsequently proposed by the tutor to the CTFG for
approval. In the latter case, the co-titorization will be made the largest of
the initial offer, without reducing the initial offer of the degree.
Unless otherwise indicated, for the purpose of distribution of teaching
hours, co-teaching implies the division of the number of teaching hours by
the number of tutors. Trainees may offer and tutor papers. Researchers
linked to the USC with a predoctoral contract will always do so on a co-
tutoring basis with a PDI who is not a PDI in training or who concludes
his/her contract before the evaluation period of the last call of the
academic year in which the offer is inserted, and who will be responsible
for the subject. Postdoctoral research personnel hired through human
resources programs (Ramón y Cajal, Marie Curie, I2C and equivalent)
may tutor TFG provided that the call for their contract includes the
possibility of having a teaching assignment.
Those tutors who have a contract that ends before the end of the last call of
the evaluation period started in the academic year in which the student was
enrolled will not be able to be tutors.
The task of the tutor will be to guide, advise and plan the student's
activities, monitor the work and supervise its progress. Depending on the
nature of the TFG, will set several tutoring sessions in order to discuss the
initial work plan, the partial results of the different phases of elaboration
and the final result. If the student is carrying out the TFG at the same time
as a mobility stay, he/she must agree with the tutor on the way in which he/
she will ensure compliance with the objectives set. Likewise, the tutor
must prepare a confidential report according to the existing model for this
purpose.
As indicated in article 12.2 of the USC Regulations, the tutor who detects
that a TFG is not original is obliged to inform the Reitoría in order to
initiate the appropriate disciplinary actions, in accordance with the current
regulations regarding the evaluation of the academic performance of
students and the review of qualifications.
send proposals for each of the degrees and for each of the mentions in the
case of the Degree in Modern Languages and Literatures. It will also
inform them of the minimum number required, which must be at least 15%
higher than the estimated annual demand.
The Departments, through the course or Degree or Mention coordinators,
will contact all the PDI with teaching in the Degree requesting the offer of
lines and places, which after their approval and within the period
established by the Dean's Office, will be sent to the president of the CTFG,
to be submitted for approval by the Commission, in accordance with the
TFG calendar approved by the Faculty Board.
The proposals will include the number of TFGs offered for each thematic
line and tutor and, if applicable, recommendations to be taken into account
for their selection.
Once the proposals have been assigned, each student must contact his/her
tutor in order to define the title of the TFG, subsequently sending to the
CTFG, through the Secretary's Office, the following information the
student must submit a form to the Faculty within the period established in
the TFG calendar.
If a student is unable to defend his/her TFG in any of the opportunities of
the academic year in which he/she was enrolled, an extension may be
granted upon request of the student, provided that it is accompanied by a
favorable report from the tutor who will guide his/her TFG in the second
academic year, who may or may not be the same tutor of the first year.
This tutoring will be carried out in most of the thematic areas offered by
that tutor for that academic year. In no case will a TFG be extended for
more than one academic year. This extension of the assignment does not
imply an extension of the enrollment, so the student must make a new
enrollment when it corresponds. The student may also request a new tutor
and subject line for the new academic year.
Students who did not defend their work in previous academic years may
resubmit the application for the title and summary that was approved at the
time. The CTFG will approve the titles and summaries of the TFG, which
will be published according to the annual TFG calendar.
Students whose application for the delimitation of title and summary was
rejected by the CTFG will be notified of the rejection, duly justified, and a
period will be opened for them to correct the deficiencies pointed out by
the CTFG or to present a new proposal for the title and summary. These
applications must be approved by the CTFG.
Article 9. Modifications
The student may request minor modifications (adjustments to the abstract
and modifications to the title) by means of a reasoned letter addressed to
the CTFG up to 30 calendar days before the beginning of the defense
application period established in the annual TFG calendar of the Center.
The CTFG will be in charge of approving, if necessary, the requested
modifications.
Exceptionally, the student and/or the tutor may request the cancellation of
the assignment of the TFG, or the change of the project under the same or
different direction, by means of a reasoned letter sent to the CTFG and
presented to the Secretary's Office of the Faculty. The CTFG will analyze
the case and, if necessary, make a new assignment.
Chapter 3. Characteristics of the TFG
Article. 15
At the moment of making the defense request in the virtual secretary's
office, the student must opt for:
(a) Avaliation of the work by the tutor.
The tutor will be in charge of the evaluation and qualification, which
cannot be higher than 7.00. The student must defend his/her TFG in a
public act before the tutor. The final grade will consist of:
- Evaluation of the work: maximum 70% (4.9 of the total of 7) The
student's academic progress, the contents, the elaboration process, the
achievement of the objectives and the written presentation will be
evaluated.
- Presentation and defense of the TFG: maximum 30% (2.1 of the total of
7) The oral presentation, the argumentative capacity of the presentation
and the reply, the clarity and self-analysis of the objectives, the
conciseness and the correct use of language will be evaluated.
It is the responsibility of the tutor to inform the student of the qualification
received for the work through the usual channels of information on
teaching evaluations.
b) Evaluation of the work by a panel of examiners
The work can be evaluated by a panel in public defense. The examining
board will be composed by three professors of the USC who teach in the
degree. The tribunal will be able to award Honors to those TFGs with a
grade equal or higher than 9. The qualification of the Tribunal will be
composed by the sum of:
- Evaluation of the work by the Tutor with a maximum of 7 points. The
academic progress of the student, the contents, the elaboration process, the
achievement of the objectives and the written presentation will be
evaluated.
- Evaluation of the presentation and defense of the TFG content by the
Tribunal with a maximum of 3 points, taking into account the oral
presentation, the argumentative capacity of the presentation and the reply,
the clarity and self-analysis of the objectives, the conciseness and the
correct use of language.
least seniority. The latter will be responsible for correctly filling in and
delivering to the administrative services of the Faculty the documentation
derived from the act of defense of the TFG.
An alternate must be appointed for each Tribunal.
Participation in the panels is obligatory for the persons appointed, except
in the case of duly accredited force majeure.
The Court will be able to invite to the deliberations the tutor of the work,
as well as specialized professors in the matter that is to be evaluated, as
advisors, with voice, but without vote.
It is the competence of the Tribunal to inform the student of the
qualification received by the work through the usual channels of
information on teaching evaluations.
