Assessment activities:

This course includes a single final evaluation composed of two activities: a written exam (80%) and the production of a short video (20%). The written exam will assess the student’s understanding of key theoretical concepts, critical thinking skills, and ability to apply course content to real-world or case-based scenarios. Clarity of argumentation, proper structure, and the appropriate use of academic sources will also be taken into account. The short video should demonstrate the student’s capacity to communicate core ideas from the course in a concise and engaging way. Originality, relevance of the content, and basic technical quality (editing, sound, and structure) will be part of the assessment. Both components must be completed in order to obtain a final grade.

Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
The grade of "Not presented" will be assigned to students who do not attend any of the partial exams
