It is important that the customer service system is continually monitored and reviewed to ensure that the system remains effective.

End of Written Assignment

Week 1

Introduction Section: Start browsing databases and find a few key references in the field that you might use in your review of the literature.

Week 2

Read through the references you have found so far. Start taking notes, paraphrasing andstart to identify your Research Question.

By the end of this week you should have a draft of your aim(s) and hypothesis/hypotheses.

Week 3

Introduction Section: Now you have your aims and hypotheses, you may need to do some further literature searching to fill in any gaps in your review of the literature.

You should have a rough draft of your Introduction by the end of this week.

Week 4

Methods Section: Start your draft of the methods section, stopping when you get to the Statistical Approach section that will come soon.

By the end of this week, you will know whether Factorial ANOVA is the appropriate methodology to test your Hypotheses. If so, write your Statistical Approach.

Week 5

Introduction Section: Finalise this section. As youll have learnt this week, an exhaustive literature review is always conducted to inform an experiment, so look to have your Introduction and Method fully-fleshed-out prior to conducting Analyses next week (otherwise you may be guilty of HARKing!)

By the end of this week, you will know whether a type of Regression analysis is the appropriate methodology to test your Hypotheses. If so, write your Statistical Approach.

Remember:Youre learning new approaches to analysis progressively throughout the course. You dont need to know how to conduct an analysis in order to conduct your review of the literature, write your introduction, formulate your hypotheses, and write your methodology (up to the statistical analysis section). Its far more important to identify what you want to do than how to do it.

If you focus on understanding the literature in the field and generating a hypothesis (or hypotheses) youd like to test, identifying the right analysis to test them will become much easier! So, dont skip this process and rush ahead! Focus on the subject youre investigating and hypothesis formulation first.

Week 6

Analysis and Results Sections: By this week of course content you will have all the SPSS knowledge to cover any potential analysis you might conduct, so 1) Carry out those analyses using SPSS and 2) Write up your Results section (ensure you prepare all tables and figures in APA format).

Week 7

Discussion Section: Begin writing this section, likely based on any notes you took when writing your results. Remember that any interpretation of findings occurs solely in the Discussion!

Attend this weeks drop-in session so that you can discuss your research with the teaching staff. We can then give you feedback on your rationale, discuss your hypothesis, and whether your analysis strategy is appropriate, you can also discuss what you have found etc. SeeTopic 7 for more information about this week's drop in session and theZoom Sessions tabfor the available times.

Revise your report based on any new insights you gained from the drop-in session.

Make sure you leave time to review your report prior to submission next week. You may want to consider:

asking someone from outside this course to review your report and ask them if it makes sense, has good flow and is organised logically.

check in with your peers and the teaching team and discuss any sticking points, but DO NOT share your report file with your peers in this course this may be a breach of Academic Integrity.

The teaching team is available to answer questions through email, on the forums, and during drop-in sessions. However,we cannot review your report prior to submissionto maintain fairness, manage high student volume, ensure grading consistency, and focus on guiding the learning process rather than influencing content.

Submit your file early BEFORE the due date and receive a Turnitin report. You can then revise your report as needed prior to your final submission. Just make sure you re-submit the final version prior to the due date!

Week 8

Submit your report Monday 12 noon! (submission link at the bottom of this page)

Advice and resources

What are the markers looking for?

Youve been chosen to author this scientific work and make it ready for publication. Think about the following points as you prepare your scholarly manuscript:

Imagine that the markers are journal editors and they intend tosee whether your report is worthy of publication. This is an advanced psychology course, so we expect you to formulate a sensible research aim and hypothesis (or hypotheses) within the context of the provided dataset. Dont construct a flawed or overly simplistic first year hypothesis, but likewise dont go and make this overly complex! It should be clear, testable, and add to the body of literature (significant results or otherwise!).

Ensure that the literature you have cited matches the aim/hypothesis.Find relevant research with similar findingsor could reasonably lead to said hypotheses.

Your report will be well received if: 1) yourintroduction alignswith your aim and your hypothesis; 2) yourstatistical approach addresses your hypothesisand is presented accurately; and 3) youinterpret your findings within the contextof previous literature appropriately.

Youdo not have to use all variables in the dataset(ensure that you revisit the Analysis Strategy section of the Instructions document).

Although the final technique you employ will have to be above an Introductory Research Methods standard in order to have the potential to obtain a high grade, you may also present statistical results youve learnt to conduct in a previous year of study. Perhaps you present a correlation table, which is good practice to explore your variables prior to conducting a multiple regression analysis, which you learn in ARM.

Keep in mind the word count, so dont present an overly complicated statistical model, surrounded by an insufficient or poorly written Introduction and Discussion.

When writing,know your audience. This is a scientific report with an assumption that readers have post-graduate training in psychology or a related field, so write to that standard.
