Teaching coordination

The Title has the necessary coordination structures at its different levels to ensure that it is organized and developed appropriately.

• Degree Coordinator (Vice Dean of the Degree)
• Course Coordinator (Vice Dean of the Degree, in all courses)
• Subject Coordinator (a professor who teaches the subject)
• Internship Coordinator
• Final Degree Project Coordinator

The aforementioned structures are integrated into the corresponding committees of the Center/Section/Degree, which establish the operating mechanisms through periodic meetings to analyze the development of the Degree at its different levels (Degree, course and subject).

Through horizontal and vertical coordination, among other things, the following are guaranteed: the proper sequencing and scheduling of subjects, their content, and assessment system; gaps, duplications, and mismatches are avoided; and the student workload is adequately distributed to facilitate the acquisition of learning outcomes.
