Non-compliance to these standards may result in your TMA not being marked and/or an administrative fee being imposed. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have uploaded your file(s) completely and accurately to the correct submission link. All inaccurate submissions will be treated as a null submission. ● Backup your TMA at all times. Review your submission immediately and ensure that the entire document has been uploaded completely and successfully. For video assignments, please ensure that you upload your videos in advance as it may take time for your video to be processed and uploaded successfully. Appeals for late submission due to the video processing time exceeding the grace period will not be considered. Submit early and check the originality report to decide if you need to revise and resubmit your assignment. Turnitin reports are generated immediately the first time but subsequent reports may take up to a day to generate. Retain the Turnitin digital receipt as evidence of a successful submission. Appeals submitted without the Turnitin digital receipt will not be entertained. Late submissions and submission problems Late penalties are automatically applied by Canvas after the 12-hour grace period. Your instructors will NOT be able to grant any extensions as they cannot override Canvas system settings. Details about marks deduction are outlined in your Student Handbook under Academic Rules and Regulations. Resubmissions (overwriting earlier submissions) are allowed only before the deadline. No further resubmissions can be made during the grace period or thereafter. The 12-hour grace period after the deadline is NOT an extended deadline. It is solely for resolving technical problems encountered with submissions before the deadline. ● In case of problems, email Canvas Support at LSsupport@suss.edu.sg immediately. Attach your TMA file and relevant screenshots showing the technical error and follow up with Canvas Support before the grace period is over. If there was no submission before the deadline, one late submission is allowed up till 1 week after the deadline, after which no more late submissions will be allowed. SINGAPORE UNIVERSITY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES (SUSS) Page 2 of 7 PSY305 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 Al-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.

Turnitin is effective in detecting such content and such behaviour will be subject to disciplinary action, which could result in failing the course. Do ensure that your assignment is original and entirely the product of your own effort. All sources that are quoted or referred to must be properly cited and acknowledged.
