Examination Methods
Objectives of the assessment tests:
The assessment tests are aimed at verifying 1) the acquisition of the theoretical contents proposed by the program and 2) the ability to decline these contents in the analysis of social policies and services.
Assessment methods:
There are no distinctions in the program and exam methods for attending and non-attending students.
However, in order to facilitate students who want to split the exam in two parts, at the end of the course, is fixed a written exam (test of about 25 questions and 4 items per question) on the first part of the program (“La specificità relazionale del Terzo settore” (chapers 1-3); entry "privato sociale/terzo settore" in “Lessico della sociologia relazionale” and slides).
Only students who reach a mark of at least 18/30 pass the test.
The mark obtained is valid till February 2020.
The test takes place only once a year.
The exam on the second part of the program is oral and takes place in the normal sessions of the academic calendar .
Who doesn’t sustain the written exam, presents the whole program at the oral exams of Sociology of Social Innovation.
