Methodologically, it uses deductive methods and observational research techniques; its approach is qualitative; in terms of nature, it is applied research; regarding its purpose, the research is exploratory and employs documentary research and case study as procedures, resulting in the creation of a technical manual to support course coordination during external evaluations. A technical procedure manual was created, detailing step-by-step instructions for obtaining and producing the documents required for in loco external evaluations related to Course Recognition/Renewal of Recognition for CCS at UFPB. It can be concluded that the manual, created according to the standards of the National System for the Evaluation of Higher Education (SINAES), is highly functional and adaptable, characteristics that support planning and preparation for external evaluations at CCS/UFPB.
