For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts were generated with this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Failure to be transparent about the use of AI in this graded activity will be considered an act of academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or full penalty on the activity's grade, or more severe sanctions in more serious cases.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The evaluation of this module will take into account the attendance and participation in class as well as the work and assessments presented by the students. All subjects are compulsory attendance. The different topics presented by each of the professors will be separately evaluated, by different assesments including writing exams, theoretical and practical tests, oral presentations, research papers discussion, in-class brief questions, written works, etc.

- Every professor decides the number and typology of evaluation activities: oral presentations, written exams, delivery of discussed articles, tests.

- The final mark of the module will be the sum of the marks of every professor multiplied by the percentage of his classes in the total teaching of the module.

- To pass a module, it is mandatory to have a mark of 3.5 or higher in 75% of all the activities in order to average with other marks of the professor and/or the module.

- There will be a period in January to repeat written exams with marks under 5. In the case of exams under 3,5, it will be mandatory to the student. In the case of exams between 3,5 and 5 it would be optional.

- The marks of other evaluations activities (i. e. oral presentations) will average with the rest of the marks of the professor/module independently of the value. There will be not option of repeating these evaluation activities.

VERY IMPORTANT: Partial or total plagiarising will immediately result in a FAIL (0) for the plagiarised exercise and the WHOLE subject. PLAGIARISING consists of copying text from unacknowledged sources -whether this is part of a sentence or a whole text - with the intention of passing it off as the student's own production. It includes cutting and pasting from internet sources, presented unmodified in the student's own text. Plagiarising is a SERIOUS OFFENCE. Students must respect authors' intellectual property, always identifying the sources they may use; they must also be responsible for the originality and authenticity of their own texts.

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.

The commission of any irregularity in an assessment (academic fraud, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, unless such use is expressly authorized in the course syllabus), which could lead to a significant change in the grade, will result in that assessment being graded 0. If the course guide stipulates that obtaining a minimum score on this assessment is a mandatory requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessments for the same course, the final grade for that course will be 0. In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student who commits any of these irregularities.
