Learning activities and methodology
TRAINING ACTIVITIES OF THE STUDY PLAN REFERRED TO MATTERS AF1 Theoretical class AF2 Practical classes AF6 Group work AF7 Individual student work AF8 Partial and final exams The use of Artificial Intelligence tools will be allowed when so decided by the subject coordinator expressly in class. The teacher may eventually indicate a list of works and exercises that the student can perform using Artificial Intelligence tools, specifying how they should be used, and how the student should describe the use that has been made of them. If the use of Artificial Intelligence 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 24, of university coexistence will be applied.
