SINGAPORE UNIVERSITY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES (SUSS) Page 2 of 7 PSY205 Tutor-Marked Assignment 02 January 2024 Semester TMA Formatting Requirements Use 12-point Times New Roman and double line spacing throughout the entire paper. Margins: 1 inch (2.54 cm) margins on all sides (top, bottom, left, and right) of the page Line spacing: Double-spacing Paragraph alignment: Align the text to the left and leave the right margin uneven Paragraph indentation: Indent the first line of every paragraph 0.5 inch Word Limit Writing succinctly is an important skill in academic writing. Keep strictly to word limits as no allowance will be given. Any content written beyond the word limit will not be marked. Tables, figures, and in-text citations are included in the word count whilst the reference list and appendices are not. English Competency Most TMAs have 5% of the total marks allocated to assessing English competency. It is important that you use an appropriate academic writing style, and write clearly using correct grammar, punctuation and spelling. British spelling is recommended. Referencing Follow the APA7 format as described in the "PSY Referencing Guide". Appropriate in-text citations and an accurately formatted Reference section are expected. FIVE (5) marks have been allocated for this component. More information about formatting in APA7 can be found in the APA website: http://www.apastyle.org/index.aspx. Plagiarism and Collusion The University takes a very serious view of plagiarism (passing off someone else's ideas as your own; recycling of contents from your own earlier marked TMA from the same course or another course; or passing off AI-generated content as your own) and collusion (submitting an assignment which is the same or very similar to another student's). The definitions and penalties of plagiarism are outlined in your Student Handbook under Academic Rules and Regulations. All assignments are to be completed on your own. You may discuss the TMA with your course- mates, but the assignment must be written up independently. Do not share your notes, draft or final TMA with anyone before the marked TMAs are returned to you. You are strongly advised to submit your TMA early and review the plagiarism report yourself, and if needed, revise and resubmit your TMA before the submission deadline. Avoid plagiarism by giving yourself sufficient time to research and understand the material so that you can write up your assignment in your own words. Quotations should be used sparingly. Simply citing the source of 'copied' chunks of text does not excuse it from plagiarism. You should be aware that you also cannot reuse your own work – such as parts of an assignment that you have submitted either to another course or to the same course - as this constitutes self-plagiarism. Ensure that all paraphrasing is done appropriately. If AI is used, ensure that the AI tool is properly cited, and ensure that you write your response entirely using your own words. Even when paraphrased slightly, Al-generated text can still be flagged as plagiarism.
