Abstract

Since the entry into force of new degrees, end-of-degree projects, whose goal could be theoretical or practical, is required to obtain a degree qualification. In this work, degree rules compel to carry out a highly practical proposal. Furthermore, pupils have a great opportunity not only for developing degree skills but also for implementing different acquired skills for their degree studies. This study develops a new work methodology, based on student autonomy, in which the continuing improvement is achieved through a feed-back system.
