Continuous Assessment

The course evaluation will consist of three main components:

• Written individual assignments, accounting for 50% of the final grade. Up to 4 exercises may be proposed (e.g., summaries of readings, arguments based on current news, reflections on class debates, short presentations on specific concepts, etc.). Special attention will be given to writing quality, clarity, synthesis, and strength of argumentation.

• Group case study project, accounting for 40% of the final grade. At the beginning of the course, the content to be developed throughout the term will be outlined. Class presentations and partial submissions will contribute to the final grade. All group members must demonstrate equal commitment to the collaborative work. Evaluation will consider the quality and rigor of the content, as well as the quality of the presentation, language, and visuals.

• Class attendance and active participation, accounting for 10% of the final grade. Regular participation in class debates and activities will be assessed.

To pass the course, students must:

a) Pass the individual written assignments with a minimum average grade of 5.
b) Submit the group case study project with a minimum grade of 5.
c) Participate regularly in class.

Grades from (a) and (b) are not averaged together; both must be passed independently.

Grade Review:
At the time of each assessment activity, the instructor will inform students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date for grade review.

Single Assessment

Single assessment involves a single evaluation date, but not a single activity:

• Written individual assignments (50%)
• Case study project (40%)
• Multiple-choice exam (10%) to demonstrate understanding of the course’s core concepts

---

Resits

Exams and assignments may be resubmitted on the dates and in the manner indicated.
To be eligible for resits, students must have participated in the assessment activities and submitted the required materials.
Students must have been previously assessed in activities representing at least two-thirds of the total grade.
Activities with irregularities are not eligible for resits.
The maximum grade for any resubmitted activity is 5.

---

Non-assessable Students

Students will be considered "non-assessable" if they have submitted fewer than two individual assignments or have not submitted the group project.

---

Plagiarism or Fraudulent Conduct

Any irregularity that may significantly affect the grade of an assessment activity will result in a 0, regardless of any disciplinary action.
If multiple irregularities are detected in the same course, the final grade will be 0.

"Copying" refers to reproducing all or part of another student’s work.
"Plagiarism" refers to presenting all or part of another author’s text as one’s own without citing the source, whether in print or digital format.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

Restricted use: In this course, AI technologies may only be used for support tasks such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction, or translation.
Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using AI, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how they influenced the process and final outcome.
Lack of transparency in AI use will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or full penalties on the activity grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
