Evaluation tools within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA): An assessment guide for evaluating the competences of the Final Year Project in the social sciences

The guidelines of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) imply the rethinking of many of the current evaluation systems, since the new pedagogical models now focus on the learning acquired through the students' personal work and on the establishment of the ideal conditions for them to achiev...
