2. Pre-Requisites

The Final Master's Project must be evaluated once there is proof that the student has passed all the remaining subjects of the curriculum and therefore has all the necessary credits to obtain the Master's degree, except those corresponding to the work itself (article 2.3 of the Regulations on the elaboration and defense of Master's Thesis at the University of Castilla-La Mancha).

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

The Master's Final Project must be adjusted to one of the following types:

  • Research work, analysis, field data collection, laboratory, etc.
  • Design of a program or a scientific professional project.
  • Deepening the state of the question and critical review of a specialized topic.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
  Grading System  
Evaluation System Face-to-Face Self-Study Student Description
Oral presentations assessment 100.00% 0.00% 20 minutes oral presentation evaluated according the following criteria.
Total: 100.00% 0.00%  

Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
The evaluation of the Final Master's Project is based fundamentally on two types of criteria:
1. general criteria related to the structure and clarity of the memory as well as the oral presentation of the work (35%);
2. specific criteria related to the research work carried out (65%).

The weighting of each criterion on the final note of the Master's Thesis is as follows:

1.1. Structure and clarity of the memory: 10%
1.2. Ability to focus oral exposition on the essential and significant aspects of memory: 5%
1.3. Control of the established time for the oral presentation: 5%
1.4. Comprehensiveness and accuracy of answers to the questions of the members of the court: 15%

2.1. Originality of the research work and deepening of the state of the question: 25%
2.2. Rigor in the methodology and mathematical formulation used, as well as consistency in the notation used in the report: 30%
2.3. Exhaustiveness in the bibliography and references to previous works: 10%
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The same as the final exam.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same as the final exam.
