• Tutored monitoring of the Final Degree Project: 10%
• Delivery and contents of the Final Degree Project (memory and, where appropriate, evidence): 60% (The evaluation rubric of the available memory will be taken as a reference for each TFG modality and will be weighted by 0.6).

In the event that this score is greater than 5, it will be must choose to enter a 4 as the numerical grade. In the event that the delivery of the memory is not presented, the final grade must be “not presented.”
