DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT: COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORK



The objectives pursed with this subject are several: a) the study of the community as an object and subject of intervention in Social Work; b) the location of Social Work in its wider context of intervention; c) knowledge of the methodology of community intervention; and d) learning about different community intervention experiences, preferably in the context closest to the student.



Given the holistic nature of the module, the subject of Community Social Work, taught in the first term, is coordinated with that of Project Design and Evaluation, taught in the second term. This is done through a diagnosis of a social and community nature that later takes the form of a social project. In this way a work theme is proposed annually, which is dealt with in more detail during the third year of the degree course, in the two initial phases of the method of social work based on social reality and in the laboratory for the assessment phase.

PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING FINAL ASSESSMENT



"In all cases the student will have the right to be assessed via the final assessment system, regardless of whether he/she has participated in continuous assessment. To do so, the student must present his/her withdrawal from continuous assessment in writing to the professor(s) responsible for the subject. He/she will have 9 weeks for termly subjects and 18 weeks for annual ones, starting from the beginning of the term or year (respectively), in accordance with the centre's academic calendar. The teaching guide for the subject may set a longer period" (art. 8.3.).



The requirements for students who choose the final assessment system are the same as indicated: three individual essays based on texts related to the subject and a community diagnosis, which in this case will also be individual.



NOTE:

In case of having to do the evaluation online due to COVID-19, both for the continuous assessment and the final assessment system, the requirements (individual / group)are the same and they will be delivered through EGela (online platform), at the same day and time provided in the ordinary and/or extraordinary call.



WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CALL



In the case of continuous assessment: "a student may withdraw from the call in a period that, as a minimum, will be up to one month before the completion date of the teaching period for the corresponding subject. This withdrawal must be presented in writing to the professor(s) responsible for the subject" (art. 12.2).



In the case of final assessment: "non-presentation at the examination on the official exam date will mean the student desists from the corresponding call" (art. 12.3).

In the extraordinary call, the same evaluation system established for the ordinary call will be maintained.

Subject notes are not delivered. Instead, the basic bibliography indicated in the following Bibliography section will be required reading.
