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.

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 Tasks
To see assessment details from an earlier availability, please search via a previous term.
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%).
