The Regulations of the subject, which includes the instructions for the preparation of the final report, can be found on the Faculty's \"Academic Practices in Entities\" website.

* Use of AI by students

In the preparation of the practical report, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools is allowed as support for information searching, content organization, writing improvement, or language revision.

However, the use of AI is not permitted for the total or partial generation of the report content that must result from the student’s own experience, analysis, and reflection during the practical work.

Students must be able to explain, justify, and defend the content of their report, as well as demonstrate their understanding of the procedures, results, and conclusions described.

Furthermore, the use of AI tools must be explicitly declared, indicating which tools were used and for what purpose. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in partial or total penalties in the grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.

Any irregularity committed in an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or misuse of AI, unless such use is explicitly authorized in the course guide) that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade will result in that activity being graded with a 0.

If the course guide establishes that obtaining a minimum grade in this assessment is a mandatory requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0.

Furthermore, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.

*Single evaluation: This course does not include a single evaluation system.
