The Learning Path for the Psychopathology MindTap includes a broad range of assessment questions and multimedia tools woven around the Reader content, to enable South African students to fully understand abnormal psychology and psychopathology.
CHAPTER INTRODUCTION
Fact or Fiction Questions: Sections start off with a ‘Fact or Fiction’ assignment that includes some myth buster questions related to the topic. These help to ‘draw students in’ and provide an interesting introduction to a topic.
CHAPTER READING
Students can highlight and take notes while reading through the content,or listen to the content being read using the ReadSpeaker tool.
LEARN IT
• Concept Clips with short questions present helpful animations to reinforce important topics, definitions, and issues about psychopathology.
• Mastery Training is an adaptive engine inside of MindTap that completely adjusts to each student’s own learning process. The program is designed to help students break the cycle of ‘Procrastinate, Cram, Fail’ and uses distributed practice to teach concepts. By studying bit by bit, students will retain topics and understand them more efficiently and effectively.
STUDY IT
• Post-Tests conclude each chapter and help confirm students’ understanding of the readings and activities completed for every chapter.
• Interactive assignment and case study questions are designed to engage students and to reinforce important course concepts. The case studies allow students the opportunity to apply their knowledge and provide a possible diagnosis. Extensive feedback provides further learning and revision opportunities and the randomisation feature ensures students will not all view the same question in test conditions.
APPLY IT
• Profiles in Psychopathology allow students to delve deeper into mental disorders by exploring the real experiences of people with various mental disorders (Chapters 5 through 15). The ‘Profiles in Psychopathology’ feature presents the human side of disorders, through the lens of history, celebrity profiles, and everyday people.
• The Continuum Video Project assignments presents video cases to students and allow them to identify symptoms, take notes and submit an analysis in an interesting, graphic manner. Opportunity is also provided for reflection on this practical exercise.
