Lecture engagement: You will need to view all your lectures live or streamed later using echo on the canvas site. Each week of semester around 3 hours of lecture material will be available, and the following Monday, a record of how much you have watched will be taken and used to calculate this mark. This is a hurdle task, such that average weekly lecture engagement of less than 50% by the end of semester will result in an absent fail (AF) if you also fail the unit outright.

Research participation: Research participation requires you to volunteer to be a participant in research studies run by psychology students and academics. It is not compulsory. If you do not complete any or all of your five hours of research participation, you simply will not receive the marks associated with it. An alternative to research participation (a written assignment) is also available on request (before the end of Week 4).

Research report: The research report assignment requires you to write a 1150 word APA formatted report about a study conducted during your first tutorial. Several tutorials and an online module are designed to provide assistance with this assessment. It is necessary that your report is relevant to the topic and APA formatted for marks to be awarded.

Mid-semester exam: There are six PSYC1001 lecture topics, and the first two topics will be assessed in this exam which will be held during the mid-semester exam period (scheduled centrally). It will be a 50min proctored Canvas quiz (using proctorU). The initial version which most students will take will consist of 34 multiple choice, multiple answer, and matching type questions (17 for each topic). Replacement exams will consist of 4 multi-part short answer questions (2 for each topic). This is a compulsory assessment which you need to attempt, or you will receive an absent fail, but no minimum mark is required.

Final exam: The remaining four PSYC1001 lecture topics will be assessed in this exam which will held during the final exam period (scheduled centrally). It will be a 2 hour proctored Canvas quiz (using proctorU). The initial version which most students will take will consist of 68 multiple choice, multiple answer, and matching type questions (17 for each topic). Replacement exams will consist of 8 multi-part short answer questions (2 for each topic). This is a compulsory assessment which you need to attempt, or you will receive an absent fail, but no minimum mark is required.
