Teaching will combine different methodologies, including group activities, case studies, tutorials, follow-up sessions, and independent learning.

Throughout the course, students will complete both individual and group assignments related to the course content. Some activities will be carried out during class, while others will be assigned as independent work.

Students will also complete a final group project. The project must be submitted in written form and presented orally.

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:

1. Attendance (20%)

• Students who fail to attend at least 25% of the total number of sessions will receive the grade "Not Assessed"

2. In-class activities (20%)

• Students will complete compulsory individual assignments related to the core course content. A minimum grade of 3.5/10 must be obtained in each assignment for the marks to be averaged.

3. Readings (15%)

• Students will complete a series of assigned readings throughout the course and participate in the corresponding class discussions.

4. Final project (30%)

• The final project is compulsory and will be completed in small groups. A minimum grade of 3.5/10 is required for this component to be averaged with the other assessment activities.

5. Examination (15%)

• The examination will combine multiple-choice questions with short-answer and essay questions covering the course syllabus.

All continuous assessment activities may be reassessed by revising and resubmitting the failed assignment in accordance with the lecturer's instructions. The examination may also be retaken.

Students who fail the continuous assessment overall will be eligible for reassessment only if they have previously completed assessment activities representing at least two-thirds (60%) of the total continuous assessment grade.

Single Assessment:

1. Examination (30%)

• The examination will combine multiple-choice questions with short-answer and essay questions covering the course syllabus.

2. Readings (30%)

• Oral discussion based on two of the readings assigned during the course.

3. Final project (40%)

• Individual written paper accompanied by an oral presentation.

The same reassessment procedures as those established for continuous assessment will apply.

Students will receive the grade "Not Assessed" if they have submitted no more than 30% of the assessment activities.

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

Exchange students wishing to reschedule an examination must provide the lecturer with an official written document from their home university justifying their request.

If a student commits any academic misconduct (e.g. plagiarism, fraud, or any other irregularity) that may lead to a significant alteration of the grade for an assessment activity, that assessment activity will be graded 0 (Fail), without prejudice to any disciplinary proceedings that may be initiated. If multiple instances of academic misconduct occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0 (Fail).

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text proofreading, translations, and other similar uses expressly authorized by the teaching staff. In any written assignment, students must clearly identify which parts have been prepared with the assistance of AI technologies and specify the tools used. Failure to disclose the use of AI in an assessable activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade awarded for that activity.
