Instructions:
1. This document outlines the task details and assessment criteria.
2. Submit your selected title on google sheets in Moodle.
3. Criteria and rubric
a. Write-up word limit is 1000 words. Follow the marking criteria in table below. It is a good idea to do an extensive review to be used to support your arguments,
ideas, concepts and analysis. Also, make an annotated bibliography before
beginning your first draft to reduce deadline stress. Standard formatting (Times
new roman font 12, single spacing and justified paragraphs). Referencing
requirement: Harvard style.
b. Infograph needs to be clear, concise and self-explanatory (see example in
appendix).
4. Before the due date, upload your write-up and infograph to Moodle Assignment in
pdf format.
a. Late assignments: with each day late, 10% mark in assignment will be deducted.
b. Zero tolerance on plagiarism. Maximum similarity is ≤10% (i.e. 1% over=2%
deduction of overall mark). Bear in mind lead time for 2nd submission to Turnitin is 24h thus
ensure good time management.
5. Some tips and tricks for making infographs:
a. www.canva.com b. https://piktochart.com/ c. www.genial.ly
6. FAQs a. On each figure/table: a) direct copy pasting and citing source (0 marks); b) adapting from at least 2 sources (0.5 marks); c) adapting (i.e. making your own figures and tables) and comparing from at least 3 sources (1 mark). b. Concerns on title overlap: Topic overlap among peers are acceptable but do note that high similarity scores on Turnitin can and will impact assignment grade. c. You will be evaluated on scientific content (i.e. write up) and subsequently creativity (i.e. infograph). That said, you may use the same content in the write-up for your infograph.
