Ad hoc documentation will be prepared for students for whom it is possible to have materials to be viewed remotely. Attending students who will be interested will be offered group work under the guidance of the teacher. Adhering to the proposal and carrying out the required activities will reduce the consistency of the exam program and the number of questions to be answered in the written test.Modalità Frequenza

The exam consists of a written part and, after passing this, an oral part. The written test consists of 3 open-ended questions on Social Policy and 3 open-ended questions on Social Services Legislation. The 3 Social Policy questions are formulated by referring to as many thematic areas present in the course program, namely: 1. the general framework of social policies, 2. the characteristics of the Italian social protection system, 3. social policies of a sectoral nature . The 3 questions on social services legislation are formulated with reference to as many thematic areas present in the course program, namely: 1. the evolution of national legislation and the implementation of law 328/2000; 2. the provisions of the regional law 11/2016, 3. the main regulations on social service interventions in the field of disabilities, minors, justice, non self-sufficiency. A total of 60 minutes is available for the written test. The answers must be congruent with the questions posed in the questions. The proposed themes are deliberately wide-ranging and allow for articulated responses. Providing extremely essential answers will therefore lead to a penalty in the evaluation. The evaluation of the test will be carried out taking into account the merit of the contents inserted but also the form of the answer, so we invite you to pay attention to the composition of the text, which must be clear and correct from a logical and syntactic-grammatical point of view. The oral exam will take place in the days following the oral exam and will refer to the entire teaching program.
