Teaching Guides

Teaching guides play a fundamental role in university degrees for several important reasons:

1. Transparency and clarity: The teaching guides provide detailed information on the contents, objectives, methodology, evaluation and other key aspects of each subject or course. This helps students understand what to expect from each subject and plan their studies more effectively.
2. Academic orientation: Teaching guides help students make informed decisions about which subjects to choose and how they fit into their curriculum. This is essential for academic planning and the achievement of educational objectives.
3. Learning Assessment: Teaching guides usually include information about the assessment methods used in each subject, such as exams, assignments, projects, etc. This allows students to understand how they will be evaluated and prepare appropriately.
4. Curricular coherence: Teaching guides help ensure the coherence and quality of a degree's curriculum. They help those responsible for academic planning to ensure that content and objectives are aligned with academic standards and labor market needs.
5. Adaptation to student needs: Teaching guides allow students to understand the requirements and expectations of each subject, allowing them to adapt their study approach and receive the support necessary to succeed in their courses.
6. Responsibility and accountability: Teaching guides are also an accountability tool, setting clear expectations for teachers and students. This helps ensure that academic quality standards are met.
7. Flexibility and updating: Teaching guides can be updated to reflect changes in course content, advances in the discipline, or student feedback, allowing for continuous improvement of academic programs.

The Vice-Rector's Office responsible for quality is in charge of standardizing the formats to guarantee the coherence and comparability of the information, supervises the quality of the published information, offers support and training to teachers, guarantees access to the public, among other responsibilities.
