Major project
The major project provides a scaffolded "capstone" experience and consists of four parts:
- topic selection
- topic development
- book chapter
- multimedia presentation
This project helps students to bring together and demonstrate their applied psychology knowledge and skills to produce useful real-world resources.
Consider adding this work to your resume and showcasing it in your .
Alternative assessment
The major project (topic development, book chapter, and multimedia presentation) assessment exercises use collaborative, online, public platforms, including Wikiversity. Use anonymous accounts if you have privacy concerns. Students own the copyright to their work. Contributing to Wikiversity requires licensing of that material.
Alternative assessment which satisfies the learning outcomes and graduate attributes may be negotiated with the unit convener where reasonable grounds are presented. In the absence of email communication to the unit convener requesting alternative assessment, it is assumed that participation in the standard assessment exercises is willingly undertaken. The onus is upon the student to negotiate alternative assessment.
Final marks
Partial final marks will be rounded to the nearest whole. For example:
- less than or equal to 64.49% will be rounded down to 64%
- greater than or equal to 64.50% will be rounded up to 65%
Special assessment requirements
Evidence of completion of the in the current calendar year is required in order to pass the unit.
Using generative AI
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools can aid but should not replace independent thinking. If using genAI tools for the major project (topic development, book chapter, multimedia presentation), acknowledge its use, fact check, and revise/rewrite. Acknowledgement is not required for low-level tasks such as improving spelling, grammar, and quality of written expression.
You are responsible for content you submit. Be aware of limitations of genAI tools such as inaccuracies, biases, and incomplete content. GenAI tools work best for topics you already understand, with carefully crafted prompting based on peer-reviewed research. Refine prompts for better results and fact-check generated content. Despite the risks, genAI tools can aid brainstorming, concept explanation, synthesis of ideas, and improve the readability and quality of written expression.
If you are unsure, post to the discussion forum, so we can all learn together.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at 含羞草视频. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
含羞草视频 students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
含羞草视频 uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and 含羞草视频 (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
