For Piaget's theory of moral development, am I to find Piaget's original work on his theory, instead of the references used for the lecture (Patanella, 2011; Taylor & Workman, 2018) and for the integral purpose of acknowledging him? Thank you in advance!

2025-05-02 15:10:53 UTC

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!

2025-05-08 09:01:21 UTC

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.

Trying to access the Wiki but it seems to be locked? says 'Not available unless: Your Last name is Crawford' not sure if this is just me being stupid

2025-05-08 16:11:25 UTC

will all of our references and in text citations be in the 1000 word document of notes? Or should we also include references and citations in our blog/magazine article.

2025-05-08 16:12:21 UTC

I have discussed the first two stages of moral development to some degree, however, I have reached the word limit! I have only been able to discuss children development. Do I need to incorporate the development of adolescents and adults?

2025-05-09 09:31:29 UTC

Can our magazine article be more than one page?

2025-05-09 15:24:04 UTC

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.

2025-05-11 17:58:36 UTC

for the powerpoint presentation, do we need to specifically use Prezi to create it or can we just use regular powerpoint? also, does the words from our powerpoint contribute to the word count?

2025-05-11 21:46:33 UTC

For those who are doing a blog post, as we have our own specific Wiki submission point, do we use the normal submission point to upload our academic document after we have submitted the Wiki?

2025-05-12 15:51:42 UTC

Can I write part 2 like a plan of why I chose the information for part 1?

2025-05-13 12:55:10 UTC

As I’m presenting my presentation through PowerPoint, it doesn’t allow me to show my face, does that matter?

2025-05-13 13:58:32 UTC

Does the title and the subheadings contribute towards the word count in a blog?

2025-05-14 15:07:30 UTC

Is it compulsory for critical evaluation to go into part 1, or is it okay for that all to go into part 2 of the assignment?

2025-05-15 09:11:43 UTC

Will I get more marks if I do a presentation?

2025-05-15 09:15:55 UTC

Can I choose a topic like foetal alcohol syndrome?

2025-05-15 09:16:57 UTC

I can't find any papers on a theory because it's quite old, what should I do?

2025-05-15 09:17:45 UTC

Hi, I'm writing a magazine article however every type of page available on publisher is too small for me to get everything in. You specified that a magazine article must be written in publisher, but I was thinking of just creating one in a word document instead. Would that be allowed?

2025-05-16 13:01:08 UTC

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?

2025-05-16 14:32:45 UTC

Hi, the wiki link it's not available for me. I am also leaving country tomorrow with some personal issues and I would really love to submit the assignment before that. Can I upload a word document instead? I have pictures and everything attached to it. Thank you

2025-05-16 14:59:23 UTC

Wiki is locked for me, any ideea when will be available?

Thank you

2025-05-16 16:38:10 UTC

I have been writing my work on a separate document before putting it together with my layout. I was unsure if we were allowed to have more than one page for our article. I could make all the content fit one page but it would be tiny writing, are we allowed to do it across two pages?

2025-05-18 18:05:52 UTC

For the reference list for part 2, do we need to include the references from our powerpoint presentation too?

2025-05-19 12:51:26 UTC

What is considered a high percentage on turnitin?

2025-05-22 14:06:47 UTC

I've done a wiki and want to know if I need to upload it or not?

2026-01-26 20:07:10 UTC

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?

s4404571 — 2026-01-29 15:17:57 UTC

Should we avoid heavy citations within the magazine article?

2026-03-22 18:42:24 UTC

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?

s4404571 — 2026-03-31 15:39:45 UTC

Are there any example assignments from previous years that we can view?

liliffehodgetts — 2026-04-01 10:31:45 UTC

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?

2026-04-01 19:18:46 UTC

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.

2026-04-09 18:26:48 UTC

As I am talking about adolescents, so do I start from there and go to young adult and then long-term into adulthood. Or do I start from childhood then adolescents then adulthood.

2026-04-25 22:13:02 UTC

are we able to do our article on ageing or death and dying even though they are later lectures closer to due date?

2026-04-26 15:07:05 UTC

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?

2026-04-30 11:07:54 UTC

If we're doing a magazine do we have to cite and reference in the article or can we do it without?

and then just add all our references and cite in the notes part of the assignment?

2026-04-30 19:37:16 UTC

Should I signpost to the lay audience piece to show I am developing upon a point e.g. In the article, (citation)..... Or is this unnecessary, will it be inferred that I am carrying on from the piece, or do I need to ensure this is clear?

2026-05-04 20:20:49 UTC

Where do I find the Death and Dying lecture recording please. Also the slides are not available either and I'm thinking I will be needing those. Ta

2026-05-05 10:56:07 UTC

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?

2026-05-05 10:57:11 UTC

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?

2026-05-05 10:57:43 UTC

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?

2026-05-05 10:57:57 UTC

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?

2026-05-05 10:58:38 UTC

Are quotes included in the word count if they're presented as a graphic design/image

2026-05-05 10:58:49 UTC

can I use Canva?

2026-05-06 09:26:14 UTC

Where can I find out what to do on the assignment?

2026-05-06 15:10:31 UTC

Can we use the templates in Word for a magazine article/blog?

2026-05-06 18:16:43 UTC

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?

2026-05-06 18:24:44 UTC

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?

2026-05-07 12:31:16 UTC

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!

2026-05-08 09:21:40 UTC

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?

2026-05-08 09:23:09 UTC

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?

2026-05-08 09:24:14 UTC

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.

2026-05-08 09:25:47 UTC

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?

2026-05-08 13:56:36 UTC

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?

2026-05-08 13:57:08 UTC

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.

2026-05-08 13:57:47 UTC

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?

2026-05-08 13:58:24 UTC

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.

2026-05-10 22:12:19 UTC

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?

2026-05-11 06:23:22 UTC

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

2026-05-11 16:19:54 UTC

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

2026-05-18 16:36:45 UTC

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