Teaching Plan Information

1. General information

The Final Degree Project (TFG) is mandatory for all students in the Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management. Its aim is to delve into topics related to the various areas of the degree by integrating the knowledge, specific competencies, cross-cutting competencies, and skills acquired throughout the curriculum and applying them to the treatment of the model and theme of the final degree project.

The modalities that TFGs can take will be determined by the regulations of each of the centers where the degree is taught. In any case, the TFG will take the form of a written report or project, which may be accompanied by any necessary materials, and it will be defended according to the terms established in the corresponding regulations.

These approaches and objectives align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda and certain specific targets (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), contributing to some extent to their achievement: Goals 1-17 (the completion of the TFG may encompass disciplines and subjects related to all the SDGs).

Project Report
The Final Degree Project (TFG) will take the form of a written report in Spanish, which may be accompanied, if necessary, by any suitable materials. Specifically designed for students in the English-language Business Administration and Management program at the Faculty of Economics and Business in Zaragoza, the TFG can be presented in the form of a written report in English, accompanied, if necessary, by suitable materials. Any Spanish-language Business Administration and Management student may present and defend the TFG in English if they wish, but it is essential to have the approval of the Supervisor(s).
It is advisable for the student to submit the project report to their supervisor(s) at least 15 days before the start of the deposit deadline (deposit and defense deadlines are published on the center's website).

Defense of the Project
The defense of the Final Degree Project will be conducted in accordance with the regulations published on the respective Faculty's website.
For any potential appeals regarding the evaluation, the established procedure in the current regulations of the University of Zaragoza will be followed.

Assessment Criteria
The assessment criteria for passing the TFG are as follows:
1. CONTENT OF THE PROJECT (maximum 8 points). The following elements will be evaluated: a. Project's introduction, justification, and objectives (Maximum 2 points). b. Scientific-technical content (Maximum 4 points). c. Discussion of results and conclusions (Maximum 2 points).
2. PRESENTATION AND DEFENSE OF THE PROJECT (maximum 2 points). The following elements will be evaluated: a. Presentation and exposition (maximum 1 point). b. Discussion of the project and responses to posed questions (maximum 1 point).
In cases where a student engages in irregular practices during the completion of the TFG or in evaluation tests (e.g., plagiarism), the procedures established by Article 30 of the Regulation of Learning Evaluation Standards of the University of Zaragoza (Agreement of December 22, 2010, of the Governing Council) will be followed. To verify this, appropriate procedures will be implemented to ensure that the student's own contribution accounts for more than 80% of the final content of the deposited TFG.

To have the TFG considered as a course completed in English in the academic records of students in the English-language Business Administration and Management program at the Faculty of Economics and Business in Zaragoza, they must complete both the written report and the defense of the project (oral presentation and debate with the members of the tribunal) in English.
To facilitate and standardize the assessment of the TFG, an evaluation rubric may be used, which will be published on the websites of the participating centers.
