Not applicable.Program
The contents of this curricular unit will have to take into account the profile and interests of the students who have sought the master's programme in which this unit is situated, although there is a set of reference issues that will help to guide both the training work that takes place in this unit and also to support the process of exploring the interests mentioned above.
From this perspective, it starts from a heuristic way of problematising and stating the studies and is structured around a critical educational intent supported by the programme proposal.

Eligibility for exams
The legal requirements for ordinary students or those with special status are observed. The assessment modality adopted is a distributed assessment with a final exam, provided that 75% of the classes taken are attended. Following the principles of this modality, the assessment of this course includes:
1. Active participation in class in carrying out the proposed work/exercises, which integrate the contents discussed.
2. Individual and group research.
3. There will also be a formal, written, face-to-face assessment at the end of the semester.
Calculation formula of final grade
The assessment is of the ‘distributed assessment with final exam’ type and consists of the following components:
1. small group work, carried out during the academic semester, on one of the programme's topics and based on the proposed bibliography, which results in a lively and informed debate with the class, corresponding to the distributed assessment component;
2. written reflective summary, to be carried out in person during the assessment period stipulated in the academic calendar, corresponding to the final exam component.
The component of distributed assessment (group work and stimulated debate) is assessed on a scale of 0 to 20 and has a weighting of 40% in the final grade.
The final exam component (individual written synthesis in person) is graded on a scale of 0 to 20 and has a weighting of 60% in the final grade.
In case of failure in one of the assessment components, the student will have to take a final exam with a weighting of 100% in the final grade. A mark below 8 points per assessment component is considered insufficient.
The final grade awarded will be expressed on a scale of 0 to 20.
Examinations or Special Assignments

Students who, by law, are not obliged to attend classes should contact the lecturers by the end of the 2nd week of classes actually given, in order to negotiate an alternative to the distributed assessment component.
Classification improvement
It is possible to improve the classification of the individual component (written summary corresponding to the final exam component).
Observations
In the event of any situations that constitute fraud, the procedure will be in accordance with Article 14 of the FPCEUP Student Assessment Regulations, which states that "fraud committed during an examination will result in the annulment of the examination and notification to the competent statutory body (Pedagogical Council) for possible disciplinary proceedings. Within the framework of the FPCEUP, fraud is understood to mean copying, plagiarism or any other practice that results in an illicit benefit for the student's classification.”
