Plagiarism and/or cheating during the performance of any of the assignments carried out during the course will entail instant failure. This also includes the use of any artificial intelligence tools. The professor reserves the right to conduct a personal interview with the students about any of the assignments carried out in the course to clarify originality or any other relevant aspect. Plagiarism constitutes a criminal action that will lead to legal and academic consequences for students according to regulations in the University of Córdoba regarding fraud, cheating and plagiarism, as recognized in the Coexistence Regulations of the University of Córdoba (BOUCO, February 24, 2023), particularly Art. 8, section g; Art. 9, section d; and Art. 11, section 6.
