PSYC20045 - Applied Wellbeing Project B

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Applied Wellbeing Project B is the second of two integrated units. In these units, you will plan, design and undertake a research project - either a systematic or scoping review (Option 1) or research study (Option 2) - in a positive psychology/wellbeing-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/scoping review or research study that you developed in Stage 1 (PSYC20044: Applied Wellbeing Project A) of the two integrated units. In this unit, you will either: • Conduct your systematic or scoping 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, scoping review, or research study in journal article format.

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%).
