Teaching methods
In the first part of the course, for the presentation of theoretical orientations and the basic concepts of the discipline, teaching will be done mainly through lectures, integrated by use of small group work and dicussions.The deepening of issues related to families and forms of support for parents in conflict situations will be addressed using methods such as: focus on key themes using resources (articles, case discussion, judiciary sentences, etc.) provided by the teacher, and seminars run by experts ( lawyers and judges).
Assessment methods and criteria
The oral exam shall evaluate:
- The knowledge gained by the student on the topics covered in the course.
- The ability to make appropriate links between the topics covered in the course and between these and other disciplines.
- The ability to identify the relevant factors on which to base their judgments on the issues and problems faced and discussed in class.
- The ability to apply the knowledge learned to their contexts of training and professional experience
The tests will consist of questions, which will be differentiated by objective and tend both to test the student's knowledge and his judgment and application of the knowledge learned.
The final assessment is therefore considered sufficient if the student demonstrates knowledge of the basic concepts and issues discussed in class, as well as an adequate ability to make connections and reflect on what they have learned.
