For the magazine article, do quotes and infographics contribute to the word count or does only apply to the main body of text?

Regarding word count, can we go just below 10% extra for both the blog and the supporting document? Thank you

Hi, When we are writing the supplementary material should we make it in points?

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, when writing for a magazine article, how informal can we be when trying to relate to the lay audience? Are we allowed to ask rhetorical questions or describe typical experiences e.g., have you ever experienced being alone... to engage them with the topic while remaining professional?

# data[].attributes.body
If I was to go over 10% of the time on the presentation, would it be 7 mins and 40 secs that I am allowed.

Regarding the checklist you emailed out on Wednesday, it mentions describing and critically evaluating THREE research studies and THREE research methodologies, as well as ONE psychological theory/model. Is the evaluation for these supposed to be done in part 2 of the assignment, as lay audiences won't be able to digest the academic evaluation effectively in part 1?

Furthermore, when evaluating the different areas you listed, do they crossover? So, in evaluating a psychological model and evaluating the research and research methodology of it using other research, that would fulfil each level of those criteria once?

when I do the recording of the presentation it has my name next to the presentation is that okay? I’m not sure how to get rid of it.

If I did the Romanian Orphanages (the ones that struggled under Ceaușescu's communist regime) and focused on developmental disorders: both the development of and how this impacted in later life- would this cover the assignment criteria?

# data[].attributes.body
I’m planning to focus on ageing, starting with how to define it.

Do you think it would be better to then narrow it down to one area, like physical, cognitive, or social/emotional changes, rather than trying to cover all three?

# data[].attributes.body
I am struggling to know whether what I am saying enough on one topic.

For example, when I talk about lifespan on the last couple of slide, I am really not going into much detail, but I have on my supplementary notes.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading the assignment briefing, I have been a little confused about what is considered as a topic. For instance, I have been going over the PowerPoints, and the Moral and Emotional lecture has caught my interest. Does this count as the topic or do I need to choose something specific in that topic? Because within that topic Influence of Parenting and Discipline was also mentioned which I am also interested in and wouldn't mind writing about instead.

Could you possibly guide me in the right direction, is this the right type of thing you would like written about in the assignment? Is it too niche to write about? Depending on which topic I have mention is right, how do I go about in talking about this topic in my magazine article to fit the assignment criteria?

# data[].attributes.body
On the check list when is says about having different research methodologies does this need to be said in the 1000 document or the presentation because I didn’t put it in my presentation because I didn’t think it was something that would concern a lay audience?

# data[].attributes.body
One part of the checklist says: Have you included at least THREE research studies (preferably published within the last 5 years)?

These should be both described and evaluated.

Does this mean that for every citation we have that we need to describe and evaluate them? So if we have lets say 15 references, do you expect each to have that level of depth and detail describing and evaluating them in part 2. If so, surely we would want less citations as 1000 words is not enough to evaluate 15+ references.

Thank you!

As we have to pick a narrow topic, can I explore social development in a specific demographic such as specifically focusing on the social development in autistic people across the lifespan? Or is that too narrow? Also, do we have to talk about every stage of development in detail related to this topic, or talk about the ones in more detail which are most relevant to our topic?

Hello, I have heard that we are not allowed to simply copy and paste photos into the magazine article. I have had a look through Moodle resources to confirm this, but havent found anything suggesting this, is this true?

With the supplementary material, am I right in thinking that we only need to expand on any points we feel weren’t covered in enough depth in the recording (for example, an evaluation point)? If we feel something has already been explained clearly in the recording, would there be no need to include that research again in the supplementary material?

# data[].attributes.body
Regarding citations and referencing for the PowerPoint, would it be okay not to include in-text citations on the slides as long as I include a full reference list of where I found my information? Or would you prefer that each source is cited somewhere throughout the assignment?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm a bit confused on what to include in Part 1 vs Part 2, from my understanding we are not supposed to cite in part 1, so how am I supposed to write within the blog without plagiarizing others work.

Additionally, we are not supposed to copy what we said in part 1 into part 2, but isn't that were we make the nods to literature?

# data[].attributes.body
shall I put all of my references so the ones from presentation and then my supporting notes all in one on my 1000 word document or shall I do them separate so that my presentation ones are on the presentation?

How do we layout the magazine article. From looking online it seems articles are all done differently; some appear quite flashy with lots of images and text boxes, but others are quite 'professional' looking. To what extent does the chosen layout matter?

when I am explaining the theories saying strengths and weaknesses of the theory then applying it to my topic because I have already defined my topic in a previous slide, can I then imply myself that this theory supports the topic because ….. is that okay for me to imply that and it is not a reference.

# data[].attributes.body
Do I need to include the points I’m making on the slide itself in a specific format, or can I just talk through how these aspects might affect social development during the presentation? Also, do I need to include references for what I’m saying in the recording on the slides?

# data[].attributes.body
Are there any example assignments from previous years that we can view?

# data[].attributes.body
Do the references include the literature we used in our lay-audience piece, even if they are not mentioned in the academic side. For example, if we simply say x seems to cause y (without citing as its for a lay audience), but do not reference it in the academic side, do we still include it as a reference?

# data[].attributes.body
Should we avoid heavy citations within the magazine article?

If I choose attachment as a topic, should I primarily focus on attachment in infants and children, and only briefly mention attachment in adolescence and adults. OR should I aim to divide attention, and the word count, between children, adolescence and adults in order to fulfil the "lifespan" section of the brief?

SUBMISSION ISSUE

hi,

I have emailed you also but though I would message in here too.

I've tried uploading my presentation today but I can't do it. It won't allow me. It keeps coming up saying "sorry the submission has failed to convert into a streaming media format".

I can’t even delete the failed video when I go to edit my submission.

I've tried condensing the file and still makes no difference. Is there anything else I could do or would It be possible to upload the video via the 'normal' submission file where I would upload my detailed notes?

Hi! Just wanted to double check about the content that should be included in part 2. While I understand that the content in part 2 should be written more academically compared to part 1, am I supposed to use part 2 to expand on or add info about a study/theory that was previously mentioned in part 1? Or can I add totally new studies/theories that further support what has been said in part 1? Or both? I hope I make sense.

For the word count for the blog and magazine is 1500 words the absolute limit or does the 10% still apply? For example, I'm doing a magazine. Is it fine to have 1600 words or do I have to keep it below 1500 which is how it's phrased in the assignment description.

# data[].attributes.body
For part 2, how much description would suffice for the studies of theories used to give context? There's not much wordcount for this, however, it makes sense that Part 2 overarches and goes further in depth to what's covered in Part 1!
