For this assessment task, you will need to create a research poster using guidelines discussed in class. Your research poster needs to include the same components as a research paper (i.e., Title, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, references). You will then present and support your poster via an in-class presentation. Your presentation can be a maximum of 5 minutes in length with 5 additional minutes for questions and answers.

This is an individual assessment task. If you have completed your research as part of a group, you need to independently create and present your research poster.

This is a must-pass assessment task. In order to pass, you must obtain a minimum grade of 50% (15/30) on this task. It is important that you refer to this rubric and the detailed marking criteria outlined within each section of the rubric when you are completing the assessment task.

Section 1 assesses your ability to demonstrate understanding of the topic and project in your own words, your discussion of ethical and cultural considerations as appropriate and clinical application of your research. General oral presentation skills are also graded within this criterion. Section 1 is marked out of 30. That mark is then converted to a grade out of 15, which is the weighting of Section 1 toward your total grade on this assessment task.

Section 2 assesses the poster content, organisation and design including the accuracy and clarity of the content presented, the flow, design and visual appeal of your poster, and adherence to APA and copyright guidelines. Section 2 is marked out of 25. That mark is then converted to a grade out of 15, which is the weighting of Section 2 toward your total grade on this assessment task.

This is a must-pass assesssment task. You must receive a minimum grade of 50% (35/70) to pass this task.Each student must submit a full manuscript formatted according to APA guidelines.

If you are completing your research with a partner, you may jointly write your methods and results. In cases where each group member has framed their manuscript around a separate research question, you can write your Results individually and report only the data relevant to your question.

Your abstract, introduction, discussion and conclusion must be written independently. That is, you will need to independently implement feedback from last term to revise your introduction, and to critically appraise your results to write your discussion and conclusion. It is expected that your introduction, discussion, and conclusion demonstrate independent thoughts and ideas.

Your research manuscript cannot exceed 5000 words. This includes in-text citations but not references listed on your reference page. NOTE: There are no marks specifically allocated to word limit in the rubric. The assessor will only review and grade the portion of your document that meets this guideline. That is, the assessor will not review or grade any content beyond the first 5000 words.

Your overall paper cannot exceed 5000 words. This includes in-text citations but not references listed on your reference page. NOTE: There are no marks specifically allocated to word limit in the rubric. The assessor will only review and grade the portion of your document that meets this guideline. That is, the assessor will not review or grade any content beyond the first 5000 words.

Students are required to paraphrase information from sources rather than include direct quotations. Paraphrasing ensures the content is well integrated into the context of the text and provides students better opportunity to explain the significance of the information to their paper. If direct quotes are used, that information will not be considered in the grading of the work.

This is a must-pass assessment task. In order to pass, you must obtain a minimum grade of 50% (i.e., minimum mark of 35/70). It is important that you access the task instructions and rubric on Moodle and carefully review the detailed marking criteria when completing this assessment task. There are five sections to the rubric:

Section 1 is based on your title, abstract and introduction which are to be written independently. It includes your ability to appraise and integrate evidence to justify your research questions and also your implementation of feedback from the previous term. Section 1 is marked out of 20. That mark is then converted to a grade out of 10, which is the weighting of Section 1 toward your total grade on this assessment task.

Section 2 is based on your description of your research design and all relevant aspects of your research methods. If you are working in a group, this section can be jointly written (and thus graded as a group). Section 2 is marked out of 20. That mark is then converted to a grade out of 15, which is the weighting of Section 2 toward your total grade on this assessment task.

Section 3 is based on your analysis, interpretation, and synthesis of results. If you are working in a group, this section may be individually or jointly written depending on the focus of your research question(s). Section 3 is marked out of 15. which is also the weighting of Section 3 toward your total grade on this assessment task.

Section 4 includes your discussion and conclusion which should discuss your results in relation to your research question/hypothesis as well as the literature. This section of your paper should also address strengths and limitations, potential future research and provide a clear ‘take-home’ message. Section 4 must be individually written and is marked out of 25. That mark is then converted to a grade out of 15, which is the weighting of Section 4 toward your total grade on this assessment task.

Section 5 focuses on academic writing style and conventions and use of APA referencing and formatting.. Section 5 is marked out of 35. That mark is then converted to a grade out of 15, which is the weighting of Section 2 toward your total grade on this assessment task.

As part of this unit, you are required to engage with interactive, online content to support your learning. This content is referred to as eFIL. eFIL refers to any activities included on your Moodle page in relation to course content. This may include (but is not limited to):

• Recorded lectures.
• H5P interactive learning activities.
• Discussion forums.
• Tasks set by your lecturer requiring you to email or upload content including work samples or videos.
• Surveys.
• Formative (i.e., non-graded) Moodle Quizzes.

There are two requirements to pass this assessment task:

1. You must complete a minimum of 80% of the eFIL activities. An activity will be considered ‘complete’, when it has met the task requirements set for the individual activity (e.g., completion of an H5P activity, meeting activity instructions and guidelines such as posting a reflection in the discussion forum).

2. You must complete 100% of the formative Moodle Quizzes and must receive a mark of 100% on each quiz. You may re-attempt each quiz as many times as you need to achieve the minimum grade of 100%. Your Moodle quiz will appear on your Moodle page for each associated week.

You must meet these requirements by 8 am on the 7 June (Monday, Review/Exam Week).

This is a must pass assessment task (i.e., you must pass each of these two requirements to pass this assessment task and therefore the unit).
