Abstract:

University should offer professional, personal, and academic orientation in order to contribute to solve the specific needs and to avoid situations that prevents the normal development of the day to day of academic life. Moreover, it is important to take into account the special context of foreign students and those with special needs. In addition, the low performance rates detected in novel students in basic subjects related to physics, mathematics and chemistry, justifies the need to provide support seminars. This project is directed to answer the improvement actions of the Quality Guarantee Committees of each of the three degrees of the Faculty of Pharmacy (Pharmacy, Human and Dietetic Nutrition, and Food Science and Technology) in relation to the demand for guidance by the student. "TUTORGRADOS 2.0" is an innovative project and good teaching practices (PIBD) granted by the "Unidad de Calidad Innovación y Prospectiva" of the University of Granada.
