(Informe Comisión de Carrera Exp. Nro. 021900-000056-23)
A. Compilation Monograph: An informative and critical written work that deals with the special description of a topic, after reviewing different bibliographic sources. The general objective of it is to increase and systematize existing knowledge about a subject, as a result of formative activity that aims to develop investigative skills in the student and foster attitudes that promote inquiry and search in topics related to their professional work; enhance their autonomous, integrative, and constructive thinking, providing an original perspective on the subject matter. This type of TFG will be developed individually.
B. Project: A theoretical-practical activity that aims to diagnose, develop, plan, and design strategies to solve specific social and/or productive situations, putting into practice the knowledge acquired throughout their training. The project can be developed individually or by a maximum of two students.
C. Research Work: Work that expands or deepens an area of knowledge by providing an original contribution applying what has been learned in the degree using the scientific method. A hypothesis/theory is formulated and tested in order to demonstrate its truthfulness, finally establishing a solid conclusion of the research, evidence, and even the hypothesis itself. This type of TFG can be developed individually or by a maximum of two students.
