The assessment of this curricular unit follows the model of Assessment Throughout the Semester (ALS), provided for in the RGACC, and includes several moments, organized into three assessment blocks (AB), aimed at measuring progress and consolidating knowledge. It is made up as follows:
AB1: Written Exam (40%)
Assesses the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative AI. The exam evaluates both theoretical understanding and the ability to apply the concepts in practice.

AB2: Final Project in AI (60%)
Conducted individually or in groups, this project involves the design, implementation, and evaluation of a prototype or case study based on the course content. It encourages integration of knowledge and critical reflection on the topics covered. Evaluation is divided into a written report (60%) and an oral presentation (40%), delivered during the final session.

Additional rules:
Each assessment block requires a minimum score of 8.5 points.
If necessary, an individual oral discussion may be conducted to confirm knowledge.
The final course grade is the weighted sum of both blocks, with a minimum of 10 points required to pass.

* Exploration of multiple Generative AI tools, based on text, images and videos
CP4 - Formation of argumentative content:
* Development of creative solutions using argumentation practices and Generative AI tools
CP5 - Rules for scientific writing:
* Application of citation and referencing standards (APA standards) in academic writing

Assessment throughout the semester includes the following activities:
1. Individual activities (50%): will include assessment elements related to prompt engineering, the responsible use of Generative AI, and also oral defense in the group presentation.
2. Group activities (50%) [ students are organized into groups of up to 5 members, formed randomly]: will include the creation, revision, editing, and validation of AI-generated content, as well as the appropriate, strategic, and responsible use of generative AI tools and techniques, throughout the group work during classes, culminating in a presentation and peer review session in the final class.

General Considerations:
Given the theoretical-practical and applied nature of the UC, the assessment takes place in the form of assessment throughout the semester, with assessment by exam not being foreseen. Assessment in the 2nd season and special season will have an alternative assessment method, so any students wishing to carry out the assessment in these seasons must first contact the teacher to be informed of the assessment procedure.

For assessment purposes throughout the semester, attendance and participation in at least 80% of classes and having more than 7 points in each of the assessments is mandatory. Approval requires a minimum final grade of 10 points and compliance with the attendance and participation requirement mentioned above.
The group will have to ensure that there is at least one computer for each group to allow activities to be carried out in the classroom.

The curricular unit coordinator may determine the holding of a complementary oral discussion regarding any assessment element/instrument provided for in this Curricular Unit Sheet, whenever this proves necessary to confirm the acquisition of the knowledge and skills assessed, or clarify discrepancies between different assessment elements.

The complementary oral discussion does not constitute an autonomous assessment instrument, does not have its own weight in the final classification of the curricular unit and is intended exclusively for validating the classification of the respective assessment element/instrument. The classification previously assigned to this element/instrument is provisional in nature until the complementary oral discussion is carried out, and may be confirmed or revised depending on the validation carried out and the applicable evaluation criteria.

PC1. Preparing for a presentation.
PC2. Non-verbal communication techniques.
PC3. Voice and body communication, audience involvement. PC4. Presentation practice and feedback. The learning objectives will be achieved through practical and reflective activities, supported by the active and participatory teaching method which emphasizes experiential learning. Classes will consist of activities such as: Theatrical experiences and group discussions; Practical activities; Presentations and exhibitions of autonomous work; Individual reflection.

The assessment of the Public Presentations with Theatrical Techniques course aims to gauge the development of students' skills in essential aspects of public presentations. The assessment structure includes activities covering different aspects of the experiential learning process involving both theatrical techniques and specific communication techniques.
Assessment throughout the semester includes activities covering different aspects of the process of preparing a public presentation, including group and individual work activities:
Group activities (50%) [students are challenged to perform in groups of up to 5 elements, made up randomly according to each activity proposal].
1-Practical Presentations: Students will be assessed on the basis of their public presentations throughout the semester:
Description: each group receives a presentation proposal and must identify the elements of the activity and act in accordance with the objective.
The results of their work are presented in class to their colleagues (Time/group: presentation - 5 to 10 min.; reflection - 5 min.). Assessment (oral): based on active participation, organization of ideas and objectivity in communication, vocal and body expression, the use of theatrical techniques and performance. Presentations may be individual or group, depending on the proposed activities.
Individual activities (50%)
1-Exercises and Written Assignments (Autonomous Work):
Description: In addition to the practical presentations, students will be asked to carry out exercises and written tasks related to the content covered in each class. These activities include reflecting on techniques learned, creating a vision board, analyzing academic objectives, student self-assessment throughout the semester, answering theoretical questions and writing presentation scripts.
Assessment: (Oral component and written content), organization, content, correct use of the structure and procedures of the autonomous work proposed in each class, ability to answer questions posed by colleagues and the teacher. Communication skills and the quality of written work will be assessed, with a focus on clarity of presentation. These activities will help to gauge conceptual understanding of the content taught.
There will be no assessment by final exam, and approval will be determined by the weighted average of the assessments throughout the semester.
General considerations: in the assessment, students will be given feedback on their performance in each activity.
To complete the course in this mode, the student must attend 80% of the classes. The student must have more than 7 (seven) points in each of the assessments to be able to remain in evaluation in the course of the semester.
