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.

PC1. Preparing for a presentation.
PC2. Non-verbal communication techniques.
PC3. Voice and body communication, audience involvement. PC4. Presentation practice and feedback. The learning objectives will be achieved through practical and reflective activities, supported by the active and participatory teaching method which emphasizes experiential learning. Classes will consist of activities such as: Theatrical experiences and group discussions; Practical activities; Presentations and exhibitions of autonomous work; Individual reflection.

The assessment of the Public Presentations with Theatrical Techniques course aims to gauge the development of students' skills in essential aspects of public presentations. The assessment structure includes activities covering different aspects of the experiential learning process involving both theatrical techniques and specific communication techniques.
Assessment throughout the semester includes activities covering different aspects of the process of preparing a public presentation, including group and individual work activities:
Group activities (50%) [students are challenged to perform in groups of up to 5 elements, made up randomly according to each activity proposal].
1-Practical Presentations: Students will be assessed on the basis of their public presentations throughout the semester:
Description: each group receives a presentation proposal and must identify the elements of the activity and act in accordance with the objective.
The results of their work are presented in class to their colleagues (Time/group: presentation - 5 to 10 min.; reflection - 5 min.). Assessment (oral): based on active participation, organization of ideas and objectivity in communication, vocal and body expression, the use of theatrical techniques and performance. Presentations may be individual or group, depending on the proposed activities.
Individual activities (50%)
1-Exercises and Written Assignments (Autonomous Work):
Description: In addition to the practical presentations, students will be asked to carry out exercises and written tasks related to the content covered in each class. These activities include reflecting on techniques learned, creating a vision board, analyzing academic objectives, student self-assessment throughout the semester, answering theoretical questions and writing presentation scripts.
Assessment: (Oral component and written content), organization, content, correct use of the structure and procedures of the autonomous work proposed in each class, ability to answer questions posed by colleagues and the teacher. Communication skills and the quality of written work will be assessed, with a focus on clarity of presentation. These activities will help to gauge conceptual understanding of the content taught.
There will be no assessment by final exam, and approval will be determined by the weighted average of the assessments throughout the semester.
General considerations: in the assessment, students will be given feedback on their performance in each activity.
To complete the course in this mode, the student must attend 80% of the classes. The student must have more than 7 (seven) points in each of the assessments to be able to remain in evaluation in the course of the semester.

Due to the practical nature of the CU, and the work carried out in connection with a real context, there is only assessment throughout the semester, with no final exam.

At the beginning of the semester, which covers the main types of disabilities, special educational needs and universal and inclusive design, there will be a written test, weighted at 30%, to assess the initial theoretical content.

Subsequently, there will be a second assessment, based on the collection and processing of data from a visit made in the context of the CU to a school that is a benchmark in accessibility and inclusion, weighted at 20%.

Finally, the third assessment stage refers to the final project, in which students will have to develop an educational resource based on all the knowledge they have acquired during the semester, with a weighting of 50%.

Students cannot have a grade lower than 8.5 in any assessment element, and the final average must be higher than 9.5. A supplementary oral assessment may be carried out in addition to any assessment method or to validate the final grade.

A minimum attendance of no less than 2/3 of classes is required.

There is no exam at any time of the year; the final assessment takes place during the 1st semester on a continuous assessment basis throughout the semester.

The assessment of this curricular unit follows the model of Assessment Throughout the Semester (ALS), provided for in the RGACC, and includes several moments, organized into three assessment blocks (AB), aimed at measuring progress and consolidating knowledge. It is made up as follows:
AB1: Written Exam (40%)
Assesses the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative AI. The exam evaluates both theoretical understanding and the ability to apply the concepts in practice.

AB2: Final Project in AI (60%)
Conducted individually or in groups, this project involves the design, implementation, and evaluation of a prototype or case study based on the course content. It encourages integration of knowledge and critical reflection on the topics covered. Evaluation is divided into a written report (60%) and an oral presentation (40%), delivered during the final session.

Additional rules:
Each assessment block requires a minimum score of 8.5 points.
If necessary, an individual oral discussion may be conducted to confirm knowledge.
The final course grade is the weighted sum of both blocks, with a minimum of 10 points required to pass.

Assessment throughout the semester (only available in the first term):
3 assignments throughout the semester and a test at the end: the assignments are done in groups, one in class and the others independently. The class work represents 10% of the final grade, and the independent work 20% each, with a minimum grade of 9.5. The test represents 50% of the grade, with a minimum mark of 8. The average grade must be equal to or higher than 9.5 for each of the assignments.
The marks for the assignments may vary depending on individual performance in an oral discussion, which will take place (for the group) if the mark (of one of the members) between the test and the assignment differs by more than 3 marks.

A minimum attendance of no less than 2/3 of classes is required.

Given the practical nature of the course, there is no exam.
Grades can only be improved by repeating the assessment process the following year.
