Written Assignment Guidelines
This is a group assignment. Each group (around 7-8 per group) will submit 1 written assignment about a
psychosomatic disorder.
Objectives: To provide students the opportunity to critically assess dissemination of knowledge about
psychosomatic condition in relation to the physiological and biological explanations in - relation to
human behaviour.
Step 1: Signing Up
Please form groups of 7-8 on your own and designate a group representative. Choose a group
representative. A forum will be created on LMS to ease the search for a group or group members. Once
a complete group is formed, the group representative needs to compile all group members’ details and
sign up via LMS. If you encounter any problems, please email the tutor.
Please take note that all members of the group share the responsibility to check emails and LMS
regularly for updates. If there are any latest updates posted on the LMS, the instructions announced
on the LMS will overrides the instructions here.
*If you still have trouble finding a group, then email the tutor before 31st January 2022 (Monday, 12pm
GMT +8). You will be randomly assigned to an already-formed group that has fewer than 7 members or
a new group. Do not wait until Week 4 to inform us because it would be too late by then. Failure to
sign-up within this time frame will result in not having any group, hence, losing your assignment marks.
You can insert your opinion in regard to each section of this essay, but they need to be
supported by credible sources. This is just a general framework; you can structure your essay
as long as it is organized and clear.
RUBRICS
If the conflict persists, please contact the lecturer/tutor immediately. Please do not contact the
lecturer/tutor after the submission deadline. Please provide the following items when you contact the
lecturer/tutor:
a) Description of conflict + Task List (in word document)
b) Evidence (screenshot of conversation, document edit history, etc.)
Failure to provide these items will not be entertained. A meeting will be set up with all the group
members to further investigate the issue. The problem will be dismissed if one group member failed to
turn up to the meeting. For the defendant, he/she will be presented a chance to explain. The likely
outcome from this process is: (a) zero mark for those who do not contribute at all; (b) marks deduction
from the assignment for that particular member; (c) case dismissed if it is a misunderstanding; (d) other
possible actions depending on the context.
