Continuous evaluation: Task 1: Each group of 2 or 3 students will have to solve a case of intervention request, deciding the relevant evaluation process, the adjusted intervention design, the evaluation of the intervention and the communication of the intervention to the different publics. The report delivered by each group is discussed individually with each of the students who developed it. Task 2: Written test focusing on all program content. Each of the two tasks will have a weight of 50% in the student's final evaluation.
Assessment by exam: Written exam focusing on all program content (100%).
