Learning activities and methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Internship | 224 | 8.96 | CA26, CA27, CA28, KA37, KA38, SA36, SA37, SA38 |
Carrying out practical activities according to the training project. Reading scientific articles. Tutorials. Presentation and discussion of results.
Preparation and oral presentation of the practical report.
A total of 200 hours of supervised practicals and 24 autonomous hours.
*In this subject, the use of artificial intelligence technologies is allowed as an integral part of the work, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution
by the student in the analysis and a personal reflection. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used
and include a critical reflection on how have influenced the process and final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of artificial intelligence
will be considered as poor academic honesty and may lead to a penalty in the grade given to the activity, or even greater sanctions in serious cases.
* Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved, within the calendar established by the center/degree, for students to complete the surveys to evaluate the performance of the teaching staff and, also, to evaluate the whole module
Assessment
Continuous assessment activities
| Title | Weight | Hours | ECTS | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral presentation | 35% | 1 | 0.04 | CA28, KA38, SA36, SA37, SA38 |
| Report by the person responsible for the stay or the academic tutor | 30% | 0 | 0 | CA26, CA27, CA28, KA37, KA38, SA36, SA37, SA38 |
| Practice report | 35% | 0 | 0 | CA26, CA27, CA28, KA37, KA38, SA36, SA37, SA38 |
The internship report and oral presentation will have the characteristics specified in the Master's Thesis (TFM) Teaching Guide (see the \"contents\" section),
since this report and its defense are used to evaluate both modules.
To allow student evaluation, the module Coordinator must receive a confidential report from the person responsible for the stay
and the written TFM work report prepared by the student, within the period previously established by Coordination.
In addition, students must make an oral presentation of this research work.
In case of not meeting any of these requirements, the module qualification will be considered \"NOT EVALUABLE\".
This module does not allow a single evaluation system.
Important:
*The commission of any irregularity in an assessment act (academic fraud, plagiarism or improper use of AI, unless this use is expressly authorized in the teaching guide), which may lead to a significant variation in the grade, means that this act will be graded with a 0. In the event that the teaching guide provides that in order to pass the subject it is an essential requirement to have obtained a minimum grade in this assessment act or that several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject is 0. Apart from this, a disciplinary process may be initiated against the student who incurs any of these irregularities.
