In addition, report a brief history of higher education, current situation in Brazil and information about the Degree in Chemistry. A research with a qualitative approach is then carried out, with an exploratory level of manifestation. This type of research level is worked through bibliographic research. It is concluded that the main facilitating factors in the elaboration of a TCC are reading habits and access to bibliographic material in the databases, and as difficulties are the search for an advisor and schedule to fulfill.
