Students can choose one of the two assessment methods provided for in the CU: 1) assessment throughout the semester; 2) assessment by exam.
- Assessment throughout the semester consists of: written group work (in two reports, a progress report and a final report) and an individual written test. The final grade is the result of a weighted average of the three assessment moments: group progress report (20%); final group report (40%); and individual written test (40%), provided it is equal to or higher than 7 points. Students who do not obtain a minimum mark of 7 in the test will fail the CU and will be admitted to assessment by exam. Assessment throughout the semester requires students to attend at least 50% of the classes. If the teachers deem it necessary, there is the possibility of an oral test, in complement to the written assessment components, as an additional element in the assessment (e.g. in situations where there is a need for additional clarification in the classifications).
- Assessment by exam takes place exclusively during the assessment period and covers all the material taught in the curricular unit. It consists of an individual written test. Students who have opted for this form of assessment and students who have not been approved in the assessment throughout the semester are admitted to this form of assessment.

The learning objectives will be achieved through practical and reflective activities, supported by the active and participatory teaching method which favours experiential learning. Classes will consist of activities such as:
- Group discussions;
- Oral presentation and defence;
- Analysing texts;
- Project presentations;
- Individual reflection.
CP1: Introduction to scientific research: concepts and processes. Research questions. Processes: stages (Identifying the problem; Reviewing the literature; Defining objectives and hypotheses; Selecting the methodology; Collecting data; Analysing data; Conclusions and recommendations).
CP2: Techniques for summarising and analysing scientific articles. Identifying relevant sources, evaluating the literature and synthesising information. Ethics, informed consent, confidentiality and integrity in research. Data collection methods.
CP3: Structure and organisation of research papers: pre-textual elements (cover, title page, abstract, keywords, table of contents), textual elements (introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion) and post-textual elements (conclusion, references, appendices, annexes). Preparation of a structure based on topics provided by the lecturer.
CP4: Application of APA Standards in scientific writing and academic reports.
The assessment of the course aims to gauge the students' acquisition of skills in essential aspects of writing texts in an academic context. Assessment throughout the semester includes activities covering different aspects of the technical and scientific writing process, including group and individual work activities:
Group activities (70%) [students are organized into groups of 4, randomly selected].
1- Group discussions with case studies (20%):
Description: each group is given a case study to analyze, and must identify the type of text; the research problem(s), hypotheses, methodologies used and data sources. The results of their work are presented in class to their colleagues (Time/group: presentation - 3 min; debate - 5 min).
Assessment (oral): based on active participation, the quality of the analysis and the clarity of the presentation.
2 - Research exercises and application of APA standards (20%).
Description: Students carry out practical research exercises in a (thematic) context on bibliographical references, their formatting and citation according to APA Norms. Assessment (written work to be submitted on Moodle): The exercises will be corrected and assessed on the basis of accuracy and compliance with APA Standards.
3 - Project Presentation Simulations (30%):
Description: groups choose a topic and create a fictitious project following the structure of a technical report or scientific text, making a presentation of their project in class (Time/group: presentation 3 min.; debate: 5 min.). The work is then reviewed following the comments.
Assessment: (Oral component and written/digital content to be submitted on Moodle): organization, content, correct use of the structure and procedures of academic work, ability to answer questions posed by colleagues and the teacher.
Individual activities (30%):
1 - Summary of a scientific article (20%).
Description: Each student must read and summarize a scientific article.
Assessment: The summaries made in class will be assessed on their ability to identify and summarize the essential elements of the text.
2 - Participation in activities throughout the semester (10%).
Description: This component aims to assess the specific contributions of each student in the activities carried out throughout the semester. Assessment: Interventions in the classroom; relevance of the student's specific contributions to debates; collaborative relationship with colleagues. In order to be assessed throughout the semester, the student must be present at 80% of the classes and have more than 7 (seven) marks in each of the assessments. If there are doubts about participation in the activities carried out, the teacher may request an oral discussion.
Final assessment: In-person written test (100%).

Academic Work with Artificial Intelligence
OA1 - To be trained in the ethical and responsible use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools
OA2 - To acquire critical analysis skills on the results produced by Generative AI tools
OA3 - To be able to identify and develop creative solutions in solving ethically and socially complex problems with Generative AI
OA4 - To be able to apply Generative AI tools in the preparation of academic work, in particular in the application of academic writing and in the use of normative citation and referencing procedures.
CP1 - Introduction to AI and Generative AI:
* Theoretical exposition on the historical context, evolution and important concepts about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI
CP2 - Prompt Engineering:
* Explanation of good practices for interacting with generative language models
CP3 - Generative AI Tools:
* Exploration of multiple Generative AI tools, based on text, images and videos
CP4 - Formation of argumentative content:
* Development of creative solutions using argumentation practices and Generative AI tools
CP5 - Rules for scientific writing:
* Application of citation and referencing standards (APA standards) in academic writing
The Semester-Long Assessment includes the following activities:
1. Individual Activities (50%)
1.1 Prompt Simulations with AI Tools in an Academic Context (20%):
* Description: The student must create a clear/justified, well-structured prompt, according to the script proposed by the instructor in class.
* Assessment: (submit in Moodle), communication and teamwork skills based on the quality of the prompt simulations performed.
1.2 Oral Defense - Group Presentation - 5 min. Discussion - 5 min. (30%):
* Description: Each student must present their contributions to the work completed to the class.
* Assessment: After the student's presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session.
2. Group Activities (50%) [students are organized into groups of up to 5 students, randomly selected], which include:
* Group presentations, reviews, edits, and validations of AI-generated content. The assessment (to be submitted in Moodle) includes gathering relevant information, assessing the clarity and innovative nature of the use of structured prompts.
* Development of strategies for reviewing, editing, and validating AI-generated content. Students will be asked to critically evaluate and reflect on the ethical challenges of integrating AI into an academic environment. The assessment (to be submitted in Moodle) will consist of correcting the work based on the accuracy and quality of the reviews and edits, as well as student participation in providing feedback to their peers.
* Final Project Presentation Simulations, where groups choose a topic and create a fictitious project following the structure of a technical report or scientific text. They present their project in class (5 min.) and discuss the topic (5 min.). The assessment (to be submitted in Moodle) will consider the organization, content, correct use of the structure, and procedures of the academic work.
General Considerations:
Feedback on student performance in each activity will be provided during the Semester Assessment.
To be assessed throughout the semester, students must attend 80% of classes and achieve a score of at least 7 points in each assessment.
If there are questions about participation in the activities, the instructor may request an oral discussion.
The group must ensure that at least one computer is available for each group to allow for classroom activities.
There will be no final exam assessment; passing will be determined by the weighted average of the assessments throughout the semester. Assessments in the second and special assessment periods will have an alternative assessment method, so any students wishing to take the assessment in these assessment periods should contact their instructor in advance to learn about the assessment procedure.

A. Evaluation trhoughouth the semester
Group oral presentation (40%)
• Each group is asked to choose one of the topics analyzed during the course and to discuss it;
• Students should necessarily use and apply the literature provided and discussed for this specific topic (at least 4 ‘text units’), as well as the power point material, with explicit references in their presentation;
• Each ‘text unit’ can be an article or a chapter. When an entire book is suggested, this means that students can choose, for their presentations, one or more chapters from the book;
• Inclusion of additional readings is welcome;
• The topic can be dealt with in an empirical way (e.g., small research on a theme of interest of the students, carried out applying the analytical and methodological tools given during the course) or theoretical (discussion of concepts debated during the course and in the literature).
• The topics cannot be repeated, in order to diversify the presentations;
• Discussion is part of the assessment;
• The dimension and number of the groups depend on the number of students choosing this form of assessment and can be adjusted.
Empirical individual work 60%
• The final assignment is a short essay of 1500 words
• The assignment should use 5 units of content among those made available during the course: three text units and two other resources (e.g. videos, social media material, etc.).
• Students should develop their own analysis and view, in critical dialogue with the notions provided along the course;
• During the 8º Class, students briefly present the outline of their works (2-3 minutes each one). The presentation should include: title, main research question, relevance, sources and methods and eventual doubts/problems.
B. Option final exam
- The final exam is planned for students who are unable or unwilling to complete the assessment during the semester. Students must write a 5000-words essay on the key readings provided by the teacher. The essay must necessarily refer to these readings and analyse them in the text.
Material
All the material for the course – e.g., detailed syllabus, assessment’s description, power point files, readings – is available on Moodle. It is a basic principle of the course not to provide readings which are available through the Iscte channels (library and Bon) or that are open access. The reason of this is the fact that literature searching is considered part of the training, as well as the familiarization of students with bibliographic physical and digital resources and tools.

Comparing Political Systems
This course first intends to review the classic and contemporary literature on types of political systems. Another aim is to confront the existing approaches with contemporary developments of the real world. Thirdly, the course will explain the intrinsic components of any political system (level of institutionalization, rules of access and degree of concentration of power, modes of legitimacy, and extent of coercion) from the specific traits and genetic context of particular political systems (e.g. totalitarian regimes of the left and of the right; types of democratic systems; the role of elections in authoritarian regimes, etc). Finally, we will look at whether particular types of non-democratic political systems are more or less prone to democratize. The general idea of the course is to give students a solid grounding of the classic and contemporary literatures and an understanding of the changing nature and wide variability of both ancient and present day political systems.
Program1-Political system and regime: origins and definitions
2-Feudalism, Absolutism and e Constitutionalism

2. Final exam
1. Assessment throughout the semester
a) Active participation in class refers to taking part in debates centred on concepts, analysing excerpts from texts, analysing images, with prior work in class or autonomously outside of class, in groups or individually. This item considers conceptual rigour, critical thinking and the construction of a coherent and informed discourse.
b) This component assesses the work done based on the script provided by the lecturer and the dramatisation done in class.
c) In the presentation of group work in class on human rights and social and political activism (depending on the topic of the class in which the presentation takes place), the autonomous search for literature and sources is valued, with the use of African sources and authors as a premise, as well as the division of labour, the depth of the treatment of the topic and the construction of an oral discourse.
d) In the written version of the group work, consideration is given to the organisation of the text, the coherent organisation of the work, grammatical correctness, as well as rigour in the written explanation of the themes.
d) The individual essay on 2 texts from the course reading list is a review essay, in which students must indicate the arguments, methodology, theoretical and conceptual framework and the main conclusions.
Detection of plagiarism or other forms of academic fraud in assessment elements will result in their annulment.
An additional oral examination may also be required alongside the individual essay.
