Applied Positive Psychology Project B is the second of two integrated units. In these units, you will plan, design and undertake a research project - either a systematic review (Option 1) or research study (Option 2) - in a positive psychology/wellbeing and/or resilience-related field. Stage 2 of the process will occur in this unit and involves undertaking, under the supervision of a qualified Academic supervisor, the systematic review or research study that you developed in Stage 1 (PSYC20044: Applied Positive Psychology Project A) of the two integrated units. In this unit, you will either: • Conduct your systematic review (Option 1) or • Implement your research study (Option 2), which will involve either collecting and assessing new quantitative, qualitative or mixed-methods data, or utilising an existing dataset. At the completion of your project, you will submit your systematic review or research study in journal article format.

Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 24-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 50 hours of study per week, making a total of 600 hours for the unit.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.
