Bibliography
The bibliography varies in accordance to the area of action or the issue/subject chosen by the students.
Teaching method
Students are accompanied by the coordinator, by an advisor at the institution where the work is carried out or, in the case of a research work, by a professor specialized in the issue/subject chosen by the student. The methodology is therefore variable, depending on the type of work performed and the organic and functioning of the institution in which it is developed. It also depends on the work program prepared together with the supervisor / teacher.
Evaluation method
a)Student work corresponding to a minimum of 112 hours; b) Presentation by the student of a report describing the activity carried out and conclusions on the results; c) Confirmation of the work by the entity where it was carried out or by the person responsible for its development; d) Evaluation by a professor at the Faculty.
The report of extracurricular work can be presented in any semester from the 6th, inclusive, but never after the last day of classes of the eighth semester.
The report must show a reflective approach to the reality experienced by the student, avoiding the mere description of facts. It must include critical appraisals, identification of the difficulties experienced in the realization of the T.E. and the benefits obtained from its realization.
