Individual Assignment (15% of course grade)


Instructions:


1. Read this guideline carefully before you start doing your assignment.


2. This assignment accounts for 15% of the course marks.


  1. You are required to write about 1000 words, but it should never exceed 1200 words. Please mark with an asterisk* after the 1000th word, and include a word count at the end of the essay. Your assignment MUST be submitted via Turnitin.


  1. This assignment, like any term paper, presupposes a substantial amount of background reading. The expectation is that you will do a good deal of extra reading on the selected theories with cultural relevance before you actually start doing it.


6. You are reminded that all research mentioned or citations from any texts must be properly documented in a separate References section.


7. The marking scheme of this assignment is as follows:

      • Content (Relevancy and Accuracy) 50%

      • Presentation (Organization and Logical Reasoning) 20%
      • Communication (Clarity and Grammar) 20%
      • Supporting material 10%


  1. You are required to write a reflective paper on how you can apply the psychological concept(s) and/or theory/theories you have learnt in this course to your own life. It must be DIRECTLY related to you and only you in your particular cultural environment. A general discussion about a concept/theory without showing enough relevance to yourself will lead to a very poor grade.


  1. Plagiarism (stealing others’ ideas or copying others’ assignment) will be severely penalized. You WILL receive an “F” for the course and your name will be reported to the Academic Registrar. A general rule is: copying more than 10 words continuously and exceeds 10% similarity will be regarded as plagiarism.


  1. In general, the assignment is due on the 13th week. You are required to submit your paper to “Turnitin” through Moodle.


  1. Late submission is penalized 20% of a letter grade (per day). Talk to me well in advance if you cannot finish your assignment on time. Last moment request for delay will NOT be entertained.
