S1. Inequality issues: analytical perspectives and current debates

S2. Theory: social inequalities in globalization context

S3. Methodology: inequality indicators, measures and categories

S4. Resources and opportunity inequalities (income, wealth, education, work)

S5. Vital and existential inequalities (life expectancy and health; gender and ethnic-racial discrimination)

S6. Intersections of inequalities and social mobility

S7. Inequalities, social justice and public policy

The assessment of the course "Contemporary Social Inequalities" is structured to reflect the development of students' theoretical and practical skills throughout the semester, through a combination of group and individual activities.

The semester-long assessment is divided into three main components:

1. Group Activity (50%)
a. Classroom Presentations on Selected Topics (30%)
• Description: Students select a topic of interest based on the course content. Using resources provided by the professor, they are organised into teams according to their chosen topic. They must prepare a proposal to deepen the topic and discuss it with the professor in a preparatory tutorial, exploring different theoretical and empirical perspectives. Presentations are evaluated based on clarity, organisation, depth of analysis, and ability to respond to questions from peers and the professor.

• Objective: This activity aims to develop research, critical analysis, and communication skills, aligned with learning objectives OA1, OA2, OA4, and OA5. Carrying out this activity necessarily involves being present in class

b. Comments on Peers' Presentations (20%)
• Description: During the presentations, students are encouraged to actively participate by making constructive comments and pertinent questions. This component evaluates students' ability to critique and reflect on their peers' work, promoting a collaborative learning environment. One of the groups is appointed as the debate rapporteur, responsible for producing a report to be sent to the professor and the presenting group.

• Objective: This activity reinforces critical analysis and collaboration skills, aligning with learning objectives OA3 and OA6. Carrying out this activity necessarily involves being present in class

2. Written essay with Consultation (50%)
a. In-depth Study of the Topic Chosen by the Student (50%)
• Description: At the end of the semester, each student takes a written essay with consultation, focused on the topic they chose and deepened during the classes. This test evaluates the student's ability to apply the theoretical and methodological knowledge acquired, using resources and electronic databases to support their answers.

• Objective: This component aims to assess the in-depth understanding of the studied topics, synthesis ability, and practical application of knowledge, aligning with learning objectives OA1, OA2, OA3, OA5, OA6, and OA7.

Basic Conditions for Semester-long Assessment
• To pass the course, students must achieve a minimum weighted average of 10 points, with no less than 8 points in any of the assessment components.

Final Assessment (100%)
• Written exame , responding to a prompt defined by the professors.

Students can choose one of the two assessment methods established for this UC in accordance with the General Regulation on Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (RGACC) of ISCTE: Assessment throughout the semester and Assessment by exam.

Assessment throughout the semester: This assessment method consists of two components: Methodological Applications Pathway (60%) and Group Assignment (40%).

a) Methodological Applications Pathway: This component consists of a sequence of methodological exercises that challenge students to apply the knowledge acquired in each block of programmatic contents of the UC. The exercises are completed individually throughout the semester, either synchronously or asynchronously, allowing for continuous assessment of students and their progress in the field of social research methods. To remain assessed throughout the semester, students may opt to skip the submission of only one of the proposed methodological exercises. The grade obtained in this component accounts for 60% of the final grade for the UC.

b) Group Assignment: This component involves analyzing two empirical studies, one intensive and one extensive, based on the examination of two master’s theses related to the students' areas of interest. Preference should be given to analyzing master’s theses developed within the scientific field of the student's enrolled master's program. The work can be done in groups (two members) or individually. The document must be written according to the structure proposed by the teaching team. To remain assessed throughout the semester, students must achieve a minimum grade of 10 points on the Group Assignment. The grade obtained in this component accounts for 40% of the final grade for the UC.

In addition to the minimum requirements for each component, assessment throughout the semester requires students to attend at least 60% of the classes.

Assessment by exam: This assessment occurs exclusively during the exam period and covers all the material taught in the curricular unit, with both theoretical and theoretical-practical questions. It consists of an individual written exam designed to evaluate both the practical skills for applying social research methods and the theoretical knowledge gained from reading the main bibliography. Students who have chosen this assessment method, as well as those who did not pass the assessment throughout the semester, are eligible for this assessment method.

The preferred method of assessment is assessment throughout the semester, although final assessment by exam is also foreseen, which should be an exception. Assessment throughout the semester requires attendance at at least 70.0 per cent of classes. There are two moments of assessment: 1) A group work, consisting in a theoretical paper focusing on the contents of one of the planned lessons (30,0%); 2/ an individual test covering all the subjcts taught during the semester (60.0%). The remaining 10,0% is allocated to class participation, namely in the debates that will take place.
