The teaching of this subject has two distinct components:
1.theoretical (use of expository methodology to teach the fundamental concepts of psychopathology).
2. theoretical-practical (preparation of a clinical case - taking into account the student group's internship context - to be analysed and discussed; inclusion of a proposal for action by social work professionals in the field of mental health.
Avaliação distribuída com exame final

Continuous assessment
Distributed assessment with several assessment components: (i) oral presentation of group work on a mental disorder selected for the internship context; (ii) written test on the exam date; (iii) attendance and active participation in class.
Each stage of assessment has a specific weighting in the final mark for the course: (i) oral presentation of the work carried out in a group on a mental disorder selected in the context of the internship (50%); (ii) written test (40%); (iii) attendance and active participation in classes considered in the final weighting of the mark (10%) [ Article 11(2) of the Regulations for the Assessment of Knowledge].
Each partial grade must reach a minimum of 6.5 val.
Final exam (100% weighting)
Improvement realised through a final exam (100%).
The teaching methodologies proposed and described integrate a set of innovative teaching practices based on evidence and adjusted to the objectives and contents of the course.
In the theoretical component, expository teaching methodologies will be used. As part of the theoretical-practical component, students will be asked to participate actively, promoting a link between the mental disorder they will be dealing with and the respective academic internship context. The aim is to stimulate practical reflection on ways of acting based on the scientific knowledge that the student will acquire.
