Learning activities and methodology
A system of tutorials shall be established, in a timetable to be agreed between teachers and students, under the supervision of the coordinator of this module. Also, at the beginning of this module, a system of consultation on the coordination aspects of this module will be established, within a timetable to be agreed between the students and the coordinator of this module. Use of Artificial Intelligence tools selectively allowed in this subject. The faculty may indicate a list of works and exercises that the student can perform using AI tools, specifying how they should be used, and how the student should describe the use made of them. If the use of AI by the student gives rise to academic fraud by falsifying the results of an exam or work required to accredit academic performance, the provisions of the Regulation of the University Carlos III of Madrid of partial development of the Law 3/2022, of February 24th, of University Coexistence will be applied.
