Service-Learning Evaluation Committee at the UAB
This committee is responsible for supervising and validating Final Degree Projects (FDPs) and courses developed in this modality. The committee is tasked with ensuring that the projects comply with the methodology and criteria established by the UAB regarding Service-Learning (SL).
To carry out the evaluation, every academic year new teaching staff are asked to complete the Service-Learning Experience Identification Form, and the Committee assesses the projects using a specific rubric designed to evaluate the quality of Service-Learning initiatives.
