Objectives of the assessment tests:
The assessment tests are aimed at verifying 1) the acquisition of the theoretical contents proposed by the teaching program and 2) the ability to apply such contents to the analysis of social policies, as well as to the design of services characterized by the integration of public organizations and third sector with a specific focus on the role and competencies of social worker in this field.

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 20 questions and 4 items per question) on the first and theoretical 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 2021.
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.
