On the other hand, they must demonstrate autonomous or self-directed learning capacity and communicate orally and in writing the results of a scientific work and its conclusions.

Requirements:

Have demonstrated proficiency in the previous subjects of the master, in particular those more closely related to the subject of the master's thesis.

Methodology and work plan:

Suggestions for the presentation of the TFM. 

We suggest that you format them by following the instructions for the authors of any of the following journals, according to topic and personal preferences:

 

Marine Ecology Progress Series (author guidelines at http://www.int-res.com/journals/guidelines-for-authors/author-guidelines/)
Biological Conservation (https://www.elsevier.com/journals/biological-conservation/0006-3207/guide-for-authors)
Marine Pollution Bulletin (https://www.elsevier.com/journals/marine-pollution-bulletin/0025-326X/guide-for-authors)


You must verify that the maximum length of the text that is required in all cases is about 6,000 words. 

This is important because it will force you to focus on what is important and significant, leaving aside the irrelevant. You will also learn to be systematic and rigorous with the formatting of papers, adapting the approach to the most suitable magazine.

 

Assessment of students learning:

Baremo
The continuous evaluation of the tutor (30%), the quality of the Report (60%) and the quality, conciseness and originality of the presentation and defense (10%) will be taken into account.

Exceptionally, if health conditions require it, remote evaluation methods may be included. In which case, the student body will be informed of the changes made.
Differentiated evaluation: in cases with the right to duly formulated differentiated evaluation and that entail the impossibility of participating in face-to-face activities, the personal situation of each student will be taken into account and the assessment of participation in the sessions may be totally or partially replaced. face-to-face for alternative non-face-to-face tasks.
