A avaliação será realizada combinando elementos de avaliação contínua (15%) e avaliação final (85%). A avaliação contínua compreende assiduidade (5%) e participação ativa (10%) nas aulas. A avaliação final combina três elementos: (A) um conjunto de exercícios realizados ao longo do semestre no contexto das aulas (25%); (B) a realização de três testes intercalares manuscritos (20%); (C) a realização e entrega de um ensaio textual e visual de tema escolhido pelo estudante, que demonstre autonomia na aplicação das ferramentas de investigação, análise de diversas fontes e pertinência na integração da investigação do aluno no contexto científico (40%). O exame de recurso é constituído pela realização de um breve trabalho escrito (comentário crítico de carácter monográfico sobre um tema proposto pela docente) (50%) e pela apresentação ou repetição de exercícios feitos ao longo do semestre, caso algum destes se revele de aproveitamento insatisfatório (50%). Serão avaliadas as competências de escrita e utilização das metodologias transmitidas para a elaboração de todos os exercícios e trabalhos escritos. Serão ainda avaliadas as competências de leitura, pensamento crítico, organização de fontes e apresentação de diálogo com as leituras realizadas, articulação de conteúdos, estruturação do tema escolhido, e pertinência da integração dos temas trabalhados no contexto científico específico da área. As entregas são feitas através da plataforma Moodle de acordo com o calendário estabelecido para a unidade curricular (integrada no calendário letivo), definido entre a docente e os estudantes no início do respetivo semestre. De acordo com o Regulamento de Avaliação da IES, é obrigatório que os estudantes cumpram com um requisito de presença mínima nas aulas para aprovação na unidade curricular. A falta de cumprimento desta exigência resultará na necessidade de prestação de exame.

The assessment will be carried out by combining elements of continuous assessment (15%) and final assessment (85%). Continuous assessment comprises attendance (5%) and active participation (10%) in classes. The final assessment combines three elements: (A) a set of exercises completed throughout the semester in the context of classes (25%); (B) the completion of three handwritten interim tests (20%); (C) the completion and submission of a textual and visual essay on a topic chosen by the student, demonstrating autonomy in the application of research tools, analysis of various sources, and relevance in integrating the student's research into the scientific context (40%). The resit exam consists of a short written work (a critical commentary of a monographic nature on a topic proposed by the professor) (50%) and the presentation or repetition of exercises completed throughout the semester, should any of these prove to be unsatisfactory (50%). Writing skills and the use of the methodologies taught in the preparation of all exercises and written work will be assessed. Reading comprehension skills, critical thinking, organization of sources and presentation of dialogue with the readings, articulation of content, structuring of the chosen theme, and relevance of the integration of the themes worked on in the specific scientific context of the area will also be evaluated. Assignments are made through the Moodle platform according to the schedule established for the curricular unit (integrated into the academic calendar), defined between the professor and the students at the beginning of the respective semester. According to the IES Assessment Regulations, students are required to meet a minimum attendance requirement in classes to pass the course. Failure to meet this requirement will result in the need to take an exam.

- Problematicize the character and conceptualization of the image. Provide students with exposure to issues, authors, and schools of thought that help them critically engage with a set of texts within the scope of visual culture and visual theory, and develop interpretative skills regarding the reception, production, and nature of images. Students should learn to contextualize these references, interpret objects with nuance, dismantle polarizations, articulate arguments coherently, and conduct research through oral discussion and peer writing. An introduction to thinking about and through images will be covered, including their political context, cultural patterns, and historical antecedents (relations and reactions to the Western/Oriental context, semiotics and linguistics, capitalist system and class structure, feminisms and gender studies, post-colonialism), attempting to understand how these relations and patterns shape the way images are conceived, produced, and received.

- The teaching methodology of this curricular unit is based on a theoretical approach, through the exposure of content in classes, with the help of audiovisual materials, bibliography, and access to support materials previously prepared by the teacher (bibliography, audiovisual material, suggestion of events). These materials will be delivered via the professor's institutional e-mail and later discussed in class. A level of involvement and discussion appropriate to the topics and level of studies in question is expected. Practical exercises will also be carried out focused on the themes proposed in class, with the aim of developing critical thinking skills also in writing: an oral presentation (20 minutes, conference format with discussion) of the theme proposed to work on in the written essay; writing a written essay. Time will also be reserved for face-to-face and e-mail tutorial guidance.
