The face-to-face lectures will expand on the study of the subject main contents, with professor explanations and comments on regulatory, jurisprudencial and academic texts. Some other lessons will be totally or partially devoted to solve practical cases. The subject coordinator as well as the rest of the professors involved in the teaching will stablish a schedule for tutorial meetings, during which some problems of constitutional interpretation could be tackled, and the study of the institutions focused in this subject could be expanded, especially for the students not having previous juridic competences. 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.
