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

Assessment throughout the semester includes the following activities:
1. Individual activities (50%): will include assessment elements related to prompt engineering, the responsible use of Generative AI, and also oral defense in the group presentation.
2. Group activities (50%) [ students are organized into groups of up to 5 members, formed randomly]: will include the creation, revision, editing, and validation of AI-generated content, as well as the appropriate, strategic, and responsible use of generative AI tools and techniques, throughout the group work during classes, culminating in a presentation and peer review session in the final class.

General Considerations:
Given the theoretical-practical and applied nature of the UC, the assessment takes place in the form of assessment throughout the semester, with assessment by exam not being foreseen. Assessment in the 2nd season and special season will have an alternative assessment method, so any students wishing to carry out the assessment in these seasons must first contact the teacher to be informed of the assessment procedure.

For assessment purposes throughout the semester, attendance and participation in at least 80% of classes and having more than 7 points in each of the assessments is mandatory. Approval requires a minimum final grade of 10 points and compliance with the attendance and participation requirement mentioned above.
The group will have to ensure that there is at least one computer for each group to allow activities to be carried out in the classroom.

The curricular unit coordinator may determine the holding of a complementary oral discussion regarding any assessment element/instrument provided for in this Curricular Unit Sheet, whenever this proves necessary to confirm the acquisition of the knowledge and skills assessed, or clarify discrepancies between different assessment elements.

The complementary oral discussion does not constitute an autonomous assessment instrument, does not have its own weight in the final classification of the curricular unit and is intended exclusively for validating the classification of the respective assessment element/instrument. The classification previously assigned to this element/instrument is provisional in nature until the complementary oral discussion is carried out, and may be confirmed or revised depending on the validation carried out and the applicable evaluation criteria.

The course unit adopts an active, project-based learning approach and is assessed through continuous assessment throughout the semester:

Class participation (20%): Assesses students' attendance, engagement, and contribution to classroom discussions and learning activities.
Individual project (40%): Students will develop an individual project applying the Design Thinking process to address a specific problem. Assessment will consider the application of the Design Thinking stages, the quality of the proposed solutions, and the level of creativity demonstrated.
Group project (40%): Students will work in teams to develop a collaborative project applying the Design Thinking process to address a real-world challenge. Assessment will be based on the application of the Design Thinking stages, the quality of the proposed solutions, and the effectiveness of teamwork and collaboration.

For all submitted assignments, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools must be transparent, explicitly declared, and compliant with Iscte's academic integrity regulations, through a signed declaration attached to the submitted work. Failure to provide this declaration or to disclose the use of AI technologies constitutes an academic misconduct offence under the Iscte Student Disciplinary Regulations.

Given the theoretical-practical and applied nature of the course unit, assessment is conducted exclusively through continuous assessment during the semester, and no final examination is offered. The final assessment of written assignments may include an individual oral examination to clarify or validate the submitted work.

Assessment during the resit period and the special assessment period will follow an alternative assessment format. Students wishing to be assessed during these periods must contact the course lecturer in advance to obtain information about the applicable assessment procedures.

For continuous assessment, students are required to attend and actively participate in at least 80% of the scheduled classes.

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.

Each assessment component requires a minimum mark of 8 out of 20, and students must achieve a final weighted average of at least 10 to pass the course. A minimum attendance of two-thirds of the classes is also required.
Assignment marks may be adjusted based on individual performance demonstrated during an oral discussion. This may occur if there is a discrepancy greater than 3 points between a student's test score and their assignment score.
Exam Period Assessment (2nd Period and Special)
In the Exam Period, students may opt for an alternative assessment consisting of:
An individual project, worth 60% of the final grade.
A written individual test, worth 40% of the final grade.
Both components are mandatory and require a minimum mark of 8 out of 20. A weighted average of at least 10 is required to pass the course.

This course follows the semester-long assessment model (ALS).

The ALS consists of the following elements:
- 1 practical work [40%]
- 3 mini-tests [20% each * 3 = 60% in total, with a minimum mark of 8,5]

The practical work can be done individually or in groups, consisting of the development of a project that will be subject to an individual oral discussion.

The practical work has a minimum mark of 9,5.

In case of failure in the ALS (<10 points), or if the student opts for Assessment by Exam, the exam corresponds to 100% of the grade. 40 per cent of the mark corresponds to the project and 60 per cent to the exam mark.
