Objectives

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 Criteria


Course Passing Requirements

The course will be considered successfully completed if the final grade, calculated as the weighted average of the different assessment activities, is 5.0 or higher (on a 10-point scale). In order for the weighted average to be calculated, and therefore to pass the course, both the average grade of the three individual written examinations and the grade obtained for the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) project must each be 4.0 or higher.

If the average grade across the three individual written examinations is below 4.0, the course will be considered failed, even if the weighted final grade is 5.0 or higher.

Students whose average grade across the three written examinations is below 4.0 may resit only one examination in which they obtained a grade below 4.0 during the resit assessment period. Examinations graded 4.0 or higher may not be retaken. The purpose of the resit assessment is solely to enable students to pass the course and not to improve their grades. Consequently, students whose average grade across the written examinations is 5.0 or higher may not sit the resit examination, even if they failed one of the individual examinations.

Students who have participated satisfactorily throughout the course but fail to achieve the minimum required grade in the group assessment (a PBL project grade below 4.0) may resubmit the project during the resit assessment period.

Only students who have not completed assessment activities accounting for at least 50% of the final grade will receive the designation "Absent" (Not Assessed) on the official assessment record.

In accordance with the University's academic regulations, any instance of plagiarism detected in the PBL project will result in a grade of zero (0) for that assessment.

Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (including academic fraud, plagiarism, or unauthorized use of Artificial Intelligence, unless such use is expressly permitted in the course syllabus) that may significantly affect the assessment outcome will result in a grade of zero (0) for that assessment. If the course syllabus specifies that passing a particular assessment is a mandatory requirement for passing the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in different assessment activities within the same course, the final course grade will be zero (0). In addition, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against students who commit such academic misconduct. The teaching staff reserve the right to conduct oral interviews or alternative assessment activities to verify students' acquisition of the required knowledge and competencies and, consequently, the validity of the submitted assessment work.


Single Assessment

Students will pass the course if the weighted average of all assessment activities is 5.0 or higher.

The single assessment will take place on the date established by the Faculty. It will consist of three written examinations, one corresponding to each of the three course modules, which will be scheduled in separate time slots throughout the same day. Students should therefore reserve the entire day for these examinations.

The Problem-Based Learning (PBL) report must be submitted on the same day as the single assessment and will be complemented by an oral presentation.

Students who fail to obtain a minimum average grade of 5.0 across the three written examinations may resit one examination during the resit assessment period.

Students who obtain a grade below 4.0 on the PBL assessment may resubmit this activity during the resit assessment period.


Assessment Activity / Weight

Submission of the final PBL report and oral presentation 10%

Three written examinations corresponding to the three course modules 90% (30% per exam)


Important Information for Repeat Students

In accordance with the Academic Regulations, grades obtained in previous academic years cannot be carried forward, either for practical assignments or for partial examinations. Students repeating the course must therefore complete the course in its entirety, including all assessment activities and examinations specified in the current course syllabus. Only PBL projects completed during the current academic year will be considered for assessment purposes.


Assessment Schedule

At the beginning of the academic year, a detailed course schedule, including the dates of all assessment activities, will be published on the Virtual Campus.

For students following the continuous assessment pathway, the course has its own assessment schedule. The written examinations corresponding to each course module will be held on the dates established in the course plan and published on the Virtual Campus.

The single assessment will take place on the date established by the Faculty, which will be announced publicly.


Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Restricted Use

For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in the development of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) project, and only for support tasks such as literature or information searches, proofreading (including spelling and grammatical correction), or translation. Students must clearly identify any sections generated using AI technologies, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced both the process and the final outcome of the assignment.

Failure to disclose the use of AI in this assessed activity will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total reduction of the grade for the assignment, or more severe disciplinary sanctions in serious cases.
