The TFG is an unpublished research project in which students will have to carry out research on a relevant topic in Law, agreed with their director. The TFG must be agreed and tutored by the Director. A work not recognised by the Director will be equivalent to a non-submission, subject to the Director's report provided to the Coordination. The assignment of the Director will be carried out through a unique and objective system that will be reported to the first informative meeting.
The monitoring and documentation of the TFGs will be carried out through the application enabled for this purpose (currently tfe.uab.cat). Teaching staff and students will have to fill in the data requested in the application, especially regarding the completion and content of the tutorials and the partial and final deliveries of the work.

The director of the TFG, once the application has been received at the request of the students, will carry out 4 compulsory tutorials that will be obligatory for both parties:

• 1st tutorial: once the assignment of directors has been made, the student must contact the director of the project during the month of October to arrange an initial tutorial. At the initial tutorial, the director will set the topic with the students and will suggest a minimum bibliography to start working on. 
• 2nd tutorial (end of January): the submission will have to contain, as a minimum, a table of contents or provisional summary, the objective of the work and the development of some of its sections in a minimum length of 4,000 words.
• 3rd tutorial (end of March).
• 4th tutorial: in May, before the final submission, the director will suggest the final modifications.

The person in charge of directing the TFG in each of the two partial deliveries will have to provide feedback to the student either in writing or through a tutorial within a maximum period of 15 days. These tutorials must be individual.
The tutorials and partial deliveries willbecompulsory to pass the course and will have to be documented in the computer application.
It will be compulsory for students to take the online course offered by the library service on how to carry out a final project within the period indicated.

The TFGs may be carried out, in agreement with the Director, following one of these 4 models:

1. Scientific article. Monographic research work in a classic format.
2. Legal opinion in which the student will have to answer one or more legal *questions.
3. Jurisprudential analysis on the state of a legal question, institution or problem.
4. Resolution of a practical case.

In any of the modalities, the research work will have an approximate length of 14,000 words, with a margin of ± 500 words, annexes apart. Unless justified by the student, a minimum of 15 sentences and 5 doctrinal articles or monographs must be used in the work.

It is compulsory to write an executive summary reflecting, in the student's opinion, the most relevant elements of his/her work. This summary will have a maximum length of 1,500 words.
The director of the work will have to write a report of the TFG following the model that will be elaborated by the Faculty in which the final work, its development and monitoring and the summary or executive report will be evaluated.

The director's report, the TFG and the summary or executive report will be submitted, prior to the defence, to the members of the examining board where it is to be defended. Failure to submit any of these elements within the deadline set out in the calendar will determine, except in cases of force majeure, to be assessed by the Dean's Office, that the work will be considered as not having been submitted.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Within the established deadline, students must submit their Final Degree Project (TFG). Also within the same deadline, the TFG supervisor must submit an evaluation report that includes a qualitative assessment of the work carried out by the student.

The TFG is a continuous assessment subject, which means that the process begins with the first tutorial in October with the assigned supervisor. If the student decides to withdraw from the TFG from that point onwards, the final grade will be a fail. The final grade will also be a fail if the tutorial schedule outlined in the methodology section is not followed, or if the student does not complete the course on how to prepare a research paper.

A student will be considered “not presented” if they do not choose a supervisor within the established timeframe.

The TFG will be assessed based on four types of evidence:
a) monitoring and progress of the work;
b) written report prepared by the student;
c) executive summary report, also prepared by the student;
d) public defense.

Characteristics and relative weight of the assessed components:

a) Monitoring and progress of the work. Relative weight in the final grade: 10%. Assessed by the supervisor.

b) Written report and executive summary to be submitted by the student. Relative weight in the final grade: written report 45%, executive summary 15%. Assessed by the supervisor.

c) Public defense: this will begin with the student’s presentation, during which audiovisual aids may not be used, although the student may provide supporting documentation to the members of the examination panel. Afterwards, the panel members may ask questions or request clarifications, which the student may answer. Relative weight in the final grade: 30%. Assessed by the panel, taking into account the defense and the suitability of the executive summary and the TFG.

Notice: Any instance of copying or plagiarism in the development of the TFG (detected at any point during the process) will result in a final grade of 0 (fail) for the subject, as it undermines the authorship of the work.

Due to its nature, this subject does not include the option of single assessment.
