The written test is aimed at ascertaining the knowledge of the topics in the program and the ability to critically read the role of the social service in the promotion of community resources.
Contents and methods for conducting the assessment tests
The questions of the written test can cover all the topics covered in the course. Three open questions will be asked concerning both the exam text and the articles indicated in the bibliography, as well as the contents of the material provided by the teacher during the course.
