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 Test 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 test 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.

This curricular unit is assessed in two ways: throughout the semester (1) or, alternatively, by examination (2).
(1) Assessment throughout the semester will have two compulsory assessment periods. One assessment consists of an individual written assignment on a human rights and social work topic previously discussed and agreed upon with the lecturer(s) (maximum eight pages). The work can be submitted in Portuguese, English, or Spanish (75% of the final mark), and a second element of individual assessment through oral presentation (25% of the final mark). The oral presentation is counted through compulsory attendance at an open class/seminar organized by the Curricular Unit (CU) and within the CU timetable, in which participation will be assessed through compulsory attendance and contributions to the debate in the form of questions. As an alternative to mandatory attendance at the seminar/open class, and under the terms previously agreed between the student and the lecturer, an oral presentation of the written essay may be scheduled (25% of the final mark). Assessment in the ‘throughout the semester’ mode implies compliance with the two assessment moments.
(2) Assessment by exam takes place exclusively during the assessment period and covers all the material taught in the course. It must include a written test (a single assessment moment) in essay format to be submitted via the Moodle system.
