Prerequisites

None


Objectives and Contextualisation

The main goal of the course is to introduce students to the study of social conditions that favor or hinder the wellbeing of people, by understanding the processes of production and reproduction and distribution of resources within a society (state, market, family and civil society/community)

The course presents the vertebral axis of the subject "Social Policy" from the articulation of three parts. The first part emphasizes social policy in the most general sense, based on the approach to its history and the international comparison of the different welfare regimes.

The second part is set in the family and in the post-industrial transformations of this institution, paying special attention to family policies, on the basis of a critical look at their impacts from a gender perspective

Finally, the third part focuses on current international migrations and the challenges posed by  governability of human mobility, on one hand (which highlight the ineffectiveness of the unilateral policies of states),  and by the management of inclusion and cultural diversity in increasingly plural societies, on the other.

Assessment

Continous Assessment Activities

Title Weighting Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
Group evaluation (teams of three people): Submission of reading summaries, index, and problem-based learning (PBL) resolution report. 25% 0 0 15, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 7, 9, 10, 17, 11, 12, 13, 14
Individual evaluation: 3 writtten tests/ exams (one for each block) 45% (15% par exam) 0 0 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 7, 9, 17, 11, 12, 13
Presential participation: individual and group activity 30% 0 0 18, 16, 15, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 7, 9, 17, 11, 12, 13, 14

Single Evaluation Activities

The course will be passed if the final grade from the different evaluation activities reaches at least a 5 (out of 10).

Title

Weight

Individual submission of the final PBL report

25%

Completion of a written test covering the three course modules

75%

Students who do not reach an average score of 4 will have the option to retake the written test covering the three modules during the recovery exam session.

Criteria for passing the course

The course will be considered passed if the final grade, resulting from the weighted average of the different evaluation activities, is equal to or greater than 5. To calculate the average and therefore pass the course, it is necessary that both the average of the three individual written tests and the grade of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) project are equal to or greater than 4.

If the average of the three individual written tests is below 4, the course will be considered failed, even if the weighted final grade is equal to or greater than 5.

Students who do not achieve an average score of 4 on the three individual written tests will have the opportunity to retake a single test during the recovery exam session. It should be noted that this session is exclusively aimed at passing the course, not at improving the grade. For this reason, students who have obtained an average equal to or greater than 5 in the written tests cannot take the recovery exam, even if one of the individual tests was failed.

Students who have properly followed the course throughout the term and do not passthe minimum group evaluation grade (PBL grade below 4) may opt to retake the project.

Only those who have not completed at least 50% of the evaluation activities will be recorded as "not presented" in the evaluation record.

In accordance with academic regulations, any case of plagiarism detected during the PBL development will be graded with a zero (0).

 Important for repeat students

According to Academic Regulations, the possibility of keeping grades obtained in previous years is not allowed, neither for practical activities nor for partial exams. Therefore, students repeating the course must take it fully, completing all activities and exams planned in the current syllabus.

 Evaluation schedule and dates

At the start of the academic year, a detailed calendar will be made available to students via the Moodle virtual classroom, including the full course schedule and the dates for the various evaluation activities.
The single evaluation will take place on the date set by the faculty and will be publicly announced by them.

 Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Restricted Use:

"For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively for the development of the PBL project, and only for support tasks such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction (spelling and/or grammar), or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts were generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this evaluable activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or total penalty of the activity’s grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases."
