Mobility curricular courses

Through Part I of the program, the objectives of explaining to students the meaning and scope of the administrative function and the indispensable character of Public Administration in its pursuit are fulfilled. Part II of the programme aims to teach students the main features of the legal-constitutional regime of the Portuguese Public Administration, in particular the constitutional principles that frame it. In the third part, it is intended that students obtain more practical knowledge, knowing how to apply the general principles and rules relating to the different phases of the general administrative procedure. In the last part, it is intended that students master the knowledge related to one of the main expressions of administrative activity: the administrative regulation.

Lectures introduce the subject offering an integrative and comprehensive view that allows students to acquire knowledge in the subjects taught and apply them critically. Following these more theoretical presentations, practical cases will be discussed, based mainly on the Jurisprudence of the Administrative Courts. Teaching, of a theoretical-practical nature, aims to transmit information, help the student to analyse it critically and to apply it to the resolution of practical issues close to those that he will solve when he graduates. In the interval between classes, students will carry out exercises to apply the knowledge acquired and will study legislative texts (in particular the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic and the Code of Administrative Procedure), doctrinal and jurisprudential, which allow them to complete the contents taught, through autonomous study activity.

Students can take this course by assessment during the semester or by final exam. To pass the course under the regime of assessment during the semester, they must:
1) Present all the work required in this course (a research project carried out in groups and presented in the form of a poster and a short scientific article carried out individually summarizing the research); 2) Be present at the Theoretical-Practical classes (students may miss a maximum of 3 Theoretical-Practical classes) and at least 50% of the Laboratory Practices.
Under the regime of assessment during the semester, students will be subject to 3 forms of assessment: 1) a group assignment on a piece of research carried out during the semester presented in poster format (50%); 2) an individual paper on the research carried out during the semester, presented in the form of a short research note (45%); 3) participation in LAPSO studies (1h30 in the SPI system) (5%). Participation in LAPSO studies is voluntary and can be replaced by another assignment.
Students with a final average of 9.5 or more in all the assessments will pass.
Students who are not enrolled in the assessment during the semester may use the final exam assessment system. Under the final exam system, students must present individually the same work assignments required in the evaluation through the semester but are exempt from attending theoretical-practical classes and laboratory practices.
Students who fail the assessment in the 1st period or intend to improve their grades can keep the best evaluation scores of the work assignments carried out during the semester and will be asked to conduct a new empirical study to be agreed with the lecturer (and to be handed until the date of the exam for the 2nd period), with the submission of the research report and the oral defense on a date and time to be agreed.

1. Assessment throughout the semester:

Attendance at 60% of classes is required.

The assessment consists of the weighted average of:

a) Attendance and active participation in classes (20%)

b) Group work presented in class (30%)

Group work (in groups of three to four students) on frameworks of belonging in Africa, such as religion and ethnicity. This work is based on: an academic reference on the topic provided by the instructor, an academic reference on the topic resulting from independent student research, a non-academic reference (such as a blog entry or news report), experiences that students consider relevant to the chosen topic.

Groups will be formed in class 3, references will be selected in class 5 and work will be presented in class 8.
Students must submit a systematisation of the sources used in class 8, along with any visual support for the presentation (PowerPoint or other).

c) A 1,000–1,500-word individual review essay of two chapters from Popular Protest, Political Opportunities and Change in Africa (edited by Edalina Rodrigues Sanches, London: Routledge, 2022 (book available via open access: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edit/10.4324/9781003177371/popular-protest-political-opportunities-change-africa-edalina-rodrigues-sanches) or two articles from issue 40 of the journal Cadernos de Estudos Africanos on 'Activism in Africa' (https://journals.openedition.org/cea/5123).

In the essay, students should summarise the arguments, methodology, theoretical and conceptual framework, and main conclusions of the chapters or articles.

The essay can be written in Portuguese or English and must be submitted on the Moodle platform by the assessment deadline indicated in Fénix+. The essay must be an original piece of work carried out independently in accordance with Iscte's Academic Code of Conduct. Detection of plagiarism and other forms of academic fraud will result in the assessment being cancelled. A supplementary oral test may be required in addition to the review essay. For each day that the essay is submitted late, 0.5 points will be deducted.
