Teaching Methods

The teaching method for this course relies on a mixed strategy of a) theoretical reflection about the role and the limitation of key concepts and methodologies of project management and assessment; and b) practicing these methodologies. Class participation will allow for a greater degree of understanding and preparation.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, students are expected to recognize the advantages and limitations of a management by objectives model and use different appropriate methodologies, namely those connected to the preparation of social diagnosis, the creation of social indicators and the constitution of social information systems, management and assessment of projects and conjoint social intervention. Students must also demonstrate critical thinking regarding social intervention and projects.

Work Placement(s)

Syllabus

This curricular unit aims at providing students with basic instruments for a management by objectives model applied to social intervention projects or services, with a view to addressing a gap in professional training created by an increasing necessity to master planning and assessment methodologies. In general terms, it is our objective to strengthen a planning and assessment culture when preparing and executing social intervention projects. The course will have a strong practical component, based on the experience gathered in governmental and non-governmental social intervention programs, both at National and European levels. Thus, the learning process will be progressive and contextualized.

Assessment Methods

Continuous assessment
Continuous assessment: 100.0%
