How should I prepare for my assessment?
The assessment will be assessing the learning outcomes for the module. Please refer to the revision slides which discusses the lectures the exam will cover and also practice exam questions.

You will be given access to 6 exam essay-style question(s), 3 in section A and 3 in section B. These will be released on the day of the exam, for a 24-hour period on (6^th May) and you will be required to answer ONE from section A and ONE from section B.  The 24-hour period is to allow for students in different time zones. Although we cannot limit how much time you spend on each question, we recommend spending no more than 2 hours working on this assessment in total and you are limited to 1000 words per question. You should complete and submit your work as a Word document. You should reference sources where appropriate, but there is no need to provide a reference list at the end of your submission.

Turnitin Plagiarism check

The Turnitin portal is provided so you can check your essay for plagiarism. This portal will close 2 hours before the deadline. Turnitin is NOT the essay assignment submission portal, it is ONLY for checking plagiarism.  

Academic Misconduct
Please remember that all work submitted will be checked for evidence of plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating as usual, and any incidences of such will treated seriously and be subject to normal academic misconduct procedures. To ensure you understand plagiarism and collusion please see the information and video on the Psychology Programme module on Canvas See the module guide for links for further Academic Misconduct information.
