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.

Assessment throughout the semester: class work + project + test
Class work: Although attendance is not counted in itself, it is essential that students attend classes regularly, where their knowledge of the project being developed by the group will be assessed. This grade is individual and will count for 20% of the final grade.
Project (group): The project is assessed by the first planning presentation (10%), the final presentation (10%), and the report (30%). If there is obvious asymmetry in participation in the work, members of the same group may receive different grades.
Test: The test is worth 30% of the final grade and will be taken in the first assessment period (those who are unable to take the test in that period for justified reasons may take it in the second period).

The special assessment consists of an individual project and a test, each worth 50% of the grade. The project must be agreed with the course coordinator in advance and handed in the week before the special exams period.

Documentation to be provided in class

1. Reflections on the practices of looking, listening and recording.
a) The visible and the invisible, the sensory and the rational
b) Critique of the notion of "representation"; imaginaries and their "voices" - ubiquity, the multivividual and self-representation
c) Visual Cultures in perspective: from the era of the mechanical reproducibility of images and the scopic regimes of modernity, to the societies of the spectacle, the digital age and AI.
d) Cine Transe & Shared Anthropology. Field and Out-of-field: Image cut and ethnographic moment. Editing: Time, movement, narrative.

b) Looking again: the latency of archives
c) Collectives and experiments between archives, anthropology and art - creating and re-signifying archives and audiovisual records.

Assessment throughout the semester will be based on:
a) Attendance and participation in exercises, classes and seminars (20%);
b) Seminar and individual reading sheet (20%)
c) Portfolio of exercises and final report up to 5 pgs (60%) - Portfolio made up of exercises carried out throughout the semester and a short report (up to 5 pgs) that summarises the learning experienced, the readings carried out and reflects on the productions presented in the Portfolio.
The course takes place in a laboratory workshop, so student attendance and participation is a fundamental part of the assessment, and a minimum of 70 per cent attendance at laboratory sessions is required.
Assessment by exam:
Students will be successful in the course if they achieve a mark of 10 or more. The course will also have an examination system regulated by ISCTE-IUL's general teaching regulations.

Assessment throughout the semester: Mini-tests (15%) + Project (35%) + Final Test (50%), held during the 1st exam period (simultaneously with the exam). A minimum grade of 8 (out of 20) is required in each assessment component.

Students may take the final exam (1st, 2nd, or special exam periods) if they choose this assessment mode or if they do not achieve a passing grade in the continuous assessment. The final exam consists of an individual test covering all course content.

The final grade for the Project is assigned individually to each student, based on an oral examination, and depends on the code developed, the report presented, and the student’s performance in the oral. Test questions may address aspects related to the Project.
