USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND VERIFICATION TESTS

The use of artificial intelligence tools must strictly comply with the guidelines provided by the teaching staff and, in any case, must be declared. Its unauthorized, excessive, or undeclared use in assessment activities goes against the principles of academic integrity and will result in a failing grade for the activity, without prejudice to the application of other disciplinary measures in accordance with the Academic Regulations for Bachelor's and Master's Degrees and the Student Disciplinary Regulations of the URV. The teaching staff may, at any time, establish complementary mechanisms to verify authorship, as well as oral defenses or explanations of the submitted activities and/or assessment tests.

This course promotes the critical and responsible use of artificial intelligence tools as part of the learning process. In certain activities, the use of AI may be required or permitted, always in accordance with the specific guidelines provided by the professor in the instructions for each activity, available on the Virtual Campus. There may also be activities where its use is explicitly prohibited. In case of doubt regarding its use, it is recommended to consult the professor beforehand. Students must declare the use of artificial intelligence tools, following the declaration format guidelines specified by the instructor. The unauthorized use of artificial intelligence tools will be penalized according to current regulations.

Second call:

In the Second Call, the final grade will be the best value of the next two options:

(A) Continuous Assesment (40%) + Final Exam (2nd Call, 60%).

(B) or Final Exam (2nd Call, 100%)

Do not take the Final Exam means a grade of 'Absent'.
