Official assessment of learning outcomes

La Comissió de Màster fixa les normes formals de presentació dels TFM, preferentment d¿acord amb els criteris de la UB (www.ub.edu/criteris-cub/). Així mateix, la Comissió estableix el procediment de nomenament del tribunal que avalua els treballs, així com els criteris i aspectes principals que s¿hi avaluen (vegeu l¿apèndix 6).

Cada membre del tribunal emet una nota de 0 a 10 sobre els aspectes especificats en l¿apèndix 6. La nota del tribunal és la mitjana aritmètica de les notes dels tres membres del tribunal, i constitueix el 80 % de la nota final del treball. El 20 % restant l¿aporta la nota que hagi indicat el director del treball en el seu informe.

Es valora positivament la utilització de l¿anglès que pot donar una bonificació de fins a 0,5 punts de la nota final.
