Abstract

This review analyzes the book “Elaboración y dirección de un Trabajo Final de Grado en Ciencias Sociales: desde la gestación de la idea hasta su publicación”, by Paulina Meza, Fernando Lillo-Fuentes, and Erlantz Velasco. The work offers a comprehensive overview of the process of developing and supervising undergraduate theses in Law, Psychology, and Education, addressing both the students’ responsibilities and those of supervisors or tutors. It highlights its contributions regarding originality, knowledge appropriation, formulation of objectives, integration of both the author’s and others’ voices, as well as academic guidance and feedback. Finally, the book’s practical utility and potential as a reference text for undergraduate research training are acknowledged.
