Learning activities and methodology
- Theoretical class - Practical class - Final exam - Individual student work - Group work The use of artificial intelligence is allowed to perform some of these activities, being mandatory to always declare it in the form that will be shown at the beginning of the course. The activities where it can be used will be detailed in class. It is expected and encouraged that the use of Generative AI enhances critical thinking and creativity, being penalized the opposite case.
