Methodology:

• Lectures with audiovisual support
• Analysis of texts and images
• Presentations and discussions
• Individual tutorials

On the course's Virtual Campus, students will find the necessary guidance for successfully following the course, together with various teaching materials deemed appropriate by the instructors.

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.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

• Debates and presentations: 20%
• Exam: 40%
• Attendance and constructive participation in class: 10%
• Teamwork: 30%

To pass the course, the weighted sum of all grades must be equal to or higher than 5.

At the time of each assessment activity, the lecturer will inform students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date for reviewing grades.

Exchange students who request to take an exam earlier than scheduled must provide the lecturer with a written document from their home university justifying the request.

Students will receive a grade of “Not Assessable” if they have submitted no more than 30% of the assessment activities.

Assessment tasks only count toward the final grade if they receive a mark of 4 or higher. Therefore, if any assessment task receives a grade below 4, the final course grade will be a fail, and the student will be required to take the resit assessment in order to pass the course.

RESIT ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

Students will be entitled to resit assessment if they meet any of the following conditions:

• They have not achieved the minimum grade required to pass the course, i.e., they have a final grade below 5.
• They have received a grade below 4 in any assessment task.
• They have previously been assessed on a set of activities whose combined weight is equivalent to at least two-thirds of the total course grade.

In the case of a second enrolment, students may take a single comprehensive assessment consisting of a final examination. The course grade will correspond to the grade obtained in this comprehensive assessment.

PENALTIES FOR ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

If a student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade for an assessment activity, that activity will be graded as 0, regardless of any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated.

If multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0.

Notes

• Grade Review: At the time of each assessment activity, the lecturer will inform students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date for reviewing grades.
• Not Assessable: Students will receive a grade of “Not Assessable” if they have submitted no more than 30% of the assessment activities.
• Students may not take the resit assessment for the purpose of improving their grade.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT

Students should note that opting for single assessment does not exempt them from attending classes.

The final grade is based on the weighted sum of two assessment components:

• Examination covering the course content: 50%
• Assignment on a topic agreed upon with the lecturer during a tutorial session: 50%

The same resit assessment system applies as for continuous assessment.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted as an integral part of the development of coursework, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution by the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection.

Students must:

1. Identify which parts of the work were generated using AI.
2. Specify the tools used.
3. Include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced both the process and the final outcome of the activity.

Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in an assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will result in the activity being graded as 0 and deemed non-recoverable, or in more severe sanctions in serious cases.
