Tutorial Action Plan

The Tutorial Action Plan (PAT) is a service of support, guidance and counselling for bachelor’s degree students at the Faculty during their university years.

The plan aims to:

  • Make it easier for you to adapt to the new university environment.
  • Achieve a good academic performance and support you throughout your studies so that you can make the most of your potential.
  • Inform and guide you so that you can achieve a professional and personal project suited to your interests and abilities.

To achieve these objectives, the PAT takes the form of a set of actions aimed at the different groups of students in the Faculty, considering their diversity and specificity. In the Faculty, we have different tutorial programmes:

Group tutorials throughout the course, two with the lecturer-tutor and the student-tutor and one only with the student-tutor (peer tutoring). In addition, at any time there is the possibility of individual tutorials to resolve any doubts.

Other important information

Through peer tutorials you can help first-year students get to know the Faculty better and therefore adapt easily to the university environment. You can also help them to solve any doubts or problems that may arise during their first year at the University. This task is carried out with the support and guidance of the tutor and the Coordination of the Faculty’s Tutorial Action Plan.

Peer tutorial consists of a programme of compulsory activities, including:

  1. Training 
    • Attendance at a training session on what tutorial action is and the functions to be carried out. July.
    • Attendance at two training sessions (one each semester) on communication, to deal confidently with a presentation and optimize communication resources.
  2. Suport als estudiants de primer curs
    • Support in enrolment sessions. July.
    • Welcome sessions. September. 
    • Organization of a group tutorial, together with the tutor. September.
    • Organization of two peer tutorials. October/November and February/March.
    • Open day. Second semester.
  3. Writing a short report after each peer tutoring session.

Peer tutoring is a credit-eligible and free activity, which can be awarded 3 credits per course. It is possible to carry out this activity over two academic years, so that as a student tutor you can earn 6 credits of institutional teaching activities.

To obtain credit recognition, you must successfully complete the course. The evaluation is based on the assessment report of the lecturer tutor and on the assessment of the PAT Coordination, according to the work and contributions. The PAT Coordination issues a certificate that you can present to the Secretary’s Office for Students and Teaching to formalize this recognition, which costs approximately 25% of the credit for the degree you are studying.

The requirement to be a student tutor is to have passed 60 credits of the degree in which you have enrolled.
