This subject allows the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies exclusively in bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations, at the discretion of the teaching staff.
Students must (i) identify the parts that have been generated with AI; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity.
Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and will result in the activity being graded with a 0 and not being eligible for retake, or in more severe penalties in serious cases.
Gender perspective: will be taken into account both in the use of inclusive language and in the selection of the contents of the historiographical texts.
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.
