The learning methodology encompasses two main areas of activity: a. Lectures supported by academic material, mainly books and articles. The purpose of these sessions is to provide a conceptual analysis of the course content. b. Practical classes based on the analysis of case studies and simulations, aimed at presenting concrete applications of socially responsible practices. In this course, students should not use artificial intelligence tools to carry out the work or exercises proposed by the faculty. In the event that 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 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.
