The final project consists of the analysis of a specific topic, aimed at drafting a report to be completed individually or in groups, on a current issue previously assigned by the professor coordinating the module on Regulation of the Digital Society: ICTs in the Public and Private Sectors. At the beginning of the module, the topics will be assigned and a submission date will be set, which will coincide with the end of the module. On the scheduled submission date, students will also carry out an oral presentation of the project. Throughout the duration of the module, specific sessions will be held to provide guidance on the preparation of the projects. These sessions will be both collective (with all students) and individual (with specific students or groups). In both the preparation of the project and its oral presentation in class, all group members must participate and may be asked questions about any part of the content. The presentation must include a reasoned overview of the main findings of the project, especially the conclusions. The oral presentation and defence of the project constitute the core element of the assessment, as it allows the faculty to evaluate whether the student has adequately understood the subject matter, whether they can confidently address the issues identified, whether they are familiar with the relevant legislation and case law, and whether they are able to respond to questions raised. The time allotted for the presentation is limited, which also enables the assessment of the student¿s clarity, efficiency, and confidence in handling the material and delivering the presentation.

LEARNING ACTIVITY Students must produce an individual or group paper on a specific area of the regulation of the digital society, applying all knowledge acquired in the three subjects of the module. The work must be based on the applicable legislation and case law, as well as existing academic doctrine, and must include original and critical contributions. To this end, at the beginning of the module, the module coordinator will assign the specific topic to be addressed individually or in groups. The report must provide a legal analysis of a complex issue in the sector. The analysis should cover, at a minimum: what the issue consists of, its applicable legal framework, its legal implications and problematic aspects, and proposed solutions, recommendations or personal opinions. TEACHING METHODOLOGIES Students will be assigned a topic in advance, which they will develop individually or in groups under the supervision of the professor, through in-depth study and research. Students will be provided with a general bibliography and links to the university library to guide them in drafting the report. These resources will also serve as preparatory tools for their Master¿s Final Project (TFM). The final paper must focus on the assigned topic and be based on relevant national, regional or local regulations, national or European case law, and/or comparative legal and jurisprudential sources. On the submission date, students will present and discuss the report in class. This presentation, moderated by the professor, will follow a structured discussion based on a guide with questions and issues related to the topic presented. TUTORIALS Students will have access to tutorials with the professor responsible for coordinating the module on the regulation of the digital society: ICTs in the public and private sectors. They will also meet in dedicated sessions with the course coordinator to resolve doubts and refine the scope, bibliography, objectives and structure of their work. Tutorials aim to organise the teaching and learning process through interaction between the student and the professor, with the following objectives: (i) To guide the student¿s individual and group work. (ii) To explore in greater depth specific aspects of the subject matter. (iii) To support the student¿s academic and professional development.
