Methodology of the final degree project:

• Topic: Students may freely choose the topic of their final degree project. The Department’s teaching staff will offer areas of interest related to nursing research to support topic selection.
  Some proposals may be associated with Service-Learning (ApS) projects, which allow students to train through participation in projects aimed at responding to real needs within a community, with the aim of improving people’s living conditions or the environment.  http://pagines.uab.cat/aps).
• Assignment of tutor: Each student will be assigned a tutor responsible for supervising their project.
  The assignment will be carried out automatically based on a formal request in which each student indicates their preferred order of the available offers. The assignment criterion will combine these preferences with the student's academic record.
• Follow-up:
  Attendance at tutorials is mandatory. In the case of Erasmus students, the format will be agreed upon with the tutor.
  Tutorials may be individual or group-based. If they are group tutorials, their duration must not exceed two hours.
  The tutor and students will agree on the dates of the tutorials based on the schedule established for the subject.
  Before each submission, a guidance tutorial will be held to help the student focus the content and resolve methodological or conceptual doubts. No draft submission will be made, and the text will not be fully reviewed.
  Each student must submit three written documentson the scheduled dates, with the content established for each. The documents will be evaluated using the corresponding rubric by the tutor, with formative feedback aimed at guiding the process, taking into account the content, coherence, and progress demonstrated throughout. Independent reasoning and participation in tutorials will also be assessed.
• Oral presentation: The oral defence is mandatory and will take place before a panel made up of two teachers. This presentation will assess the defence of the project and the student’s ability to justify the decisions made, argue the content presented, and demonstrate understanding of the project development process. Coherence of the discourse, critical reflection, and the ability to respond to the panel's questions will also be taken into account.
• Final documentation to be submitted: The student must submit the following documentation via the course Moodle or the TFE tool:
  Final project report
  Presentation for the oral defence
  Declaration of AI tool use: Mandatory document stating whether AI tools have been used. If so, it must specify which tools were used, for what purpose, and include a critical reflection on their impact on the work.

Use of AI: Restricted. For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as text correction, translations, or basic information searches. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process andthefinal outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use ofAI in this assessable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade for the activity, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.

Assessment

The assessment of the Bachelor's Thesis (Final Degree Project) is based on two assessment activities:

• Monitoring of the project development process, carried out by the academic supervisor through two assessment rubrics (40%).
• Oral presentation and defence, assessed by a committee composed of two academic staff members (60%).
• 
  

1. Continuous Assessment and Supervision (40%)

Continuous assessment will be conducted through two assessment rubrics, corresponding to the two scheduled submissions during the development of the Bachelor's Thesis.

Each submission will be assessed by the academic supervisor according to the assessment rubric established for the course. The following aspects will be considered:

• the scientific, technical, and formal quality of the written report;
• the methodological coherence of the project;
• the student's progress throughout the project development process;
• the ability to work independently and demonstrate critical thinking;
• commitment and active participation during the supervision meetings.

Weighting of each submission

• First supervision assessment rubric: 20%
• Second supervision assessment rubric: 20%

2. Oral Presentation and Defence (60%)

The oral presentation and defence are compulsory and will be conducted before an assessment committee composed of two academic staff members from the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, appointed by the Department.

The oral defence will have a maximum duration of 15 minutes, followed by a question-and-answer session with the assessment committee.

The assessment rubric for the oral defence will evaluate, among other aspects:

• the quality of the oral presentation;
• communication and synthesis skills;
• justification of the methodological decisions adopted;
• the scientific and methodological rigour of the project;
• the overall coherence of the proposal;
• critical reflection;
• the ability to respond appropriately to the committee's questions;
• the design and appropriate use of audiovisual resources, as well as verbal and non-verbal communication skills during the presentation.

The oral defence rubric will specify the weighting assigned to each assessment criterion.

3. Final Grade Calculation

The final grade for the Bachelor's Thesis will be calculated according to the following weighting:

To successfully complete the course, students must fulfil the requirements established below and obtain a final grade of at least 5.0 out of 10.

4. Requirements to Pass the Course

To continue with the assessment process, students must obtain a minimum grade of 5.0 out of 10 in the first supervision assessment rubric.

Students obtaining a lower grade will have a maximum period of 15 calendar days to submit a revised version of their work, incorporating the revisions requested by the academic supervisor.

In this case, the maximum grade that may be awarded for the first supervision assessment rubric is 5.0 (Pass).

To be eligible for the oral defence before the assessment committee, students must obtain a minimum grade of 5.0 out of 10 in the second supervision assessment rubric.

Students who do not achieve this minimum grade will not be allowed to proceed to the oral defence and will receive a final grade of Fail.

"Not Assessed" (No Avaluable)

Students who fail to submit the first scheduled submission within the deadline established in the course calendar will receive a final grade of Not Assessed.

Resit Assessment

Due to the nature of the Bachelor's Thesis, no resit assessment is available for this course.

Single Assessment

In accordance with the current academic regulations of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), this course does not provide a single assessment option.
