Teaching methodologies (including evaluation)
This curricular unit will use the interactive method with expository sessions; reading and analyzing documents in groups with tutorial guidance from the teacher; analysis of situations related to practice, particularly based on clinical cases. In laboratory practices, it is expected to resort to role playing, particularly with regard to the theme of relationship with the person/family with mental disorder. The assessment will be carried out using an individual written test (50%), laboratory practices ( 10%) and the preparation of written group work with presentation at a seminar (40%). In the latter, the classification will be obtained by taking the arithmetic average between the classification of the presentation and that of the written work The autonomous component of the curricular unit can be carried out through practical exercises that enhance decision-making. Bibliographical research and additional readings suggested by teachers
