Teaching Methods
Theoretical Classes - Expository methodology, with critical discussion of the key concepts.
Dialogue encouraging the understanding of theory. Use of practical examples to promote learning of relevant content, critical thinking and the articulation of theory and practice
Practical Classes - Reading, analyzing and discussing practical cases, individually and in groups;
The methodological assumption is the integration / interconnection between theory and the discussion of case studies of diagnosis and intervention.
Autonomous Work Outside of Classes - Involves research, reading texts, and preparing content to present in class.
Open Classes/Conferences (in-person/online) - Featuring national and international guests to facilitate the integration of theory and practice

Assessment
Continuous assessment system
Continuous assessment includes three moments: (1) Diagnosis (problem and analysis) of a problematic situation (40%); (2) Intervention (testing, intervention and planning of evaluation of success) (40%); 3) Dynamisation of a conference and presentation of a critical commentary (10%).
Attendance in theory and practical classes is compulsory, although a tolerance of 25% is allowed. The pass mark for each examination is 8.5.
Final assessment system
Final Evaluation includes two moments: (1) Diagnosis (problem and analysis) of a problematic situation; (2) Intervention (testing, intervention and planning of evaluation of success)
Each assignment is worth 50% of the final grade.
The pass mark for each examination is 8.5.
