Lectures are conducted in a large-group format (1/1) and include:

• Theoretical exposition and participatory debate.
• Practical examples.
• Multimedia support.

Clinical case seminars are conducted in a small-group format and include:

• Presentation of clinical cases.
• Viewing of video-recorded interviews.
• Participatory debate for case resolution.

Note: The teaching methodology for some of the seminar sessions will be based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in teams of 4–5 people, complemented by cooperative learning techniques (such as the jigsaw classroom technique) and gamification techniques.

Autonomous and supervised activities include literature searches on a topic, comprehensive reading of texts, and individual or group work on the available course materials.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The assessment evidence is aimed at demonstrating the students' ability to apply the theoretical concepts and contents covered in guided teaching and through autonomous study of the compulsory readings, as well as the competences developed in the clinical seminars:

• Evidence 1 (Ev1): In-person, individual, multiple-choice written exam. It will assess the material covered in topics 1 to 3 (including the corresponding readings from the bibliography for these topics, not just the content strictly presented in class). Value of the total grade: 40%. It will take place during the first assessment period.
• Evidence 2 (Ev2): In-person, individual, written exam with multiple-choice questions, open-ended questions, and case studies. It will assess the material from topics 1 to 11 (including the corresponding readings from the bibliography for these topics, not just the content strictly presented in class). Value of the total grade: 40%. It will take place during the second assessment period. Passing the multiple-choice section is mandatory. In the event of failing the multiple-choice section, the grade considered for the final continuous assessment grade will be the result of this section.
• Evidence 3 (Ev3): Individual practical assignment linked to tasks carried out during the clinical case seminar sessions. Students must demonstrate both theoretical and applied knowledge (psychopathological examination, diagnostic reasoning, and prognosis). Value of the total grade: 20%. Sequential submission during the seminar sessions and the week prior to the second assessment period.

The translation of the in-person assessment exams will be provided if the requirements established in Article 263 are met and it is requested online via e-form (more information on the Faculty's website).

In accordance with the faculty's assessment guidelines, the definition of a passed subject in continuous assessment refers, on a 0-10 scale, to obtaining a minimum grade of 5.0 points [(Ev1+Ev2)/2 ≥ 5] and a grade equal to or higher than 4.0 points in each of the in-person assessment exams that contribute 20% or more to the grade of this continuous assessment (that is, Ev1 and Ev2). In the event of not meeting these requirements, the maximum grade to be recorded in the academic record will be 4.5 points. If the requirements are met, the final continuous assessment grade will be obtained from the weighted sum of the scores of the assessment evidence (final grade = Ev1+Ev2+Ev3). Ev3 will be added to the final grade once the subject has been passed [(Ev1+Ev2)/2 ≥ 5]. For students who have not passed the Ev2 multiple-choice section, the grade that will be recorded for this evidence will be the one obtained in the multiple-choice section.

The continuous assessment grades for the subject, prior to the resit period, are expressed with a single decimal place, and rounding is done to the next whole number in the event that this allows a qualitative change in the grade: pass (4.85=5.0) / good (6.85=7.0) / excellent (8.85=9.0).

Resit. Resit is for students who have failed, not to improve grades. Students with a final grade between 3.5 and 4.8 and who have submitted evidence with a weight equivalent to at least 2/3 of the grade (that is, they have completed at least Ev1 and Ev2) may sit the resit exam. The resit will be in a multiple-choice format covering all theoretical topics of the subject. The grade obtained will be weighted at 50% with the final weighted continuous assessment grade. For the resit of the single assessment, the same resit process as for the continuous assessment will apply. It will take place during the resit period.

Review of the final grade. This will be carried out in the format of an in-person tutorial between the students who request it and the teaching staff of the subject. In the case of single assessment, the review of the final grade will follow the same procedure as for continuous assessment.

A student who does not sit 40% or more of the learning assessment evidence will be considered "not assessable" (no avaluable). Therefore, students who sit Ev1 or Ev2 will be considered assessable and will receive a final grade. For the single assessment, the same "not assessable" criterion as for continuous assessment will apply.

SINGLE ASSESSMENT:

SINGLE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES TABLE

Name and description of the evidence	Weight	Duration (minutes) of in-person exam	Date of realization
In-person, individual, multiple-choice written exam. It will assess all the course material (topics 1 to 11) based on the course bibliography. A minimum mark of 5 out of 10 is required on this test to pass the course.	50%	60 min	Second evaluation period
In-person, individual oral exam consisting of open-ended questions covering all the course material (topics 1 to 11) based on the compulsory readings.	20%	45 min	Second evaluation period
In-person, individual oral exam consisting of resolving a clinical case in which students must provide the psychopathological examination, justify the diagnosis, and establish the differential diagnosis. Attendance at the 6 scheduled clinical seminar sessions at the end of the course is mandatory in order to pass this test.	20%	45 min	Second evaluation period
In-person, individual oral exam consisting of the presentation of a video recording, after which students must answer open-ended questions. Attendance at the 6 scheduled clinical seminar sessions at the end of the course is mandatory in order to pass this test.	10%	45 min	Second evaluation period
Resit is for students who have failed, not to improve grades. Students with a final grade between 3.5 and 4.8 may sit the resit exam.			The week after desecond evaluation period

Single assessment must be requested online (e-form) within the specific period (more information on the Faculty's website).

FEEDBACK:

• Ev1: In-person feedback in the classroom. Week 10.
• Ev2: Published on Moodle. General feedback on the multiple-choice section, and a rubric for the open-ended questions and the clinical case. Week 19.
