Learning Methods

Assessment is continuous, with the possibility of a final exam, and the teaching-learning process is based on active methods centered on the information gathered by the students in their internships and practical exercises to familiarize them with the diagnostic tools used in various institutions that provide social services. It is based on concrete situations that we try to reflect on the social factors that contribute to the formation of social problems. It is also on the basis of reflection on the origin of the social facts recorded by the students that investment is made in defining possible lines of action to be implemented in order to combat the causes of the problems diagnosed. The pedagogy used aims to help students build a psychosocial diagnosis to be submitted for evaluation at the end of the semester.


Assessment Components

Final Exam

Students may choose one of the following assessment methods: 

1. DISTRIBUTED ASSESSMENT consisting of:

1.2 presentation of a written diagnostic paper (in conjunction with the Social Work Internship 2 course) - Due on the date of the final exam.

Each of the assessment elements (exercise and test) has a weighting of 50%. 

2. FINAL EXAM (Article 12 of the Knowledge Assessment Regulations) which will consist of an individual written exam.

Demonstration of the coherence between the teaching methodologies and the learning outcomes

The teaching-learning methodology based on active methods (practical exercises in case analysis; familiarizing students with diagnostic tools and information-gathering protocols used by institutions that provide social services; reflection on data collected by students during their internship) contributes to achieving the UC's learning objectives.
