IMPORTANT NOTE Please note that you have to submit this assignment online.
Also note that you have to activate your myLife.unisa.ac.za email
address. If this address is not activated you will not be able to partake
in the course.
You have to submit at least one of the assignments in this module
before the end of May. This is a university requirement.
Your final mark consists of an examination mark and a year mark.
The examination mark is the mark obtained in the examination paper
written at the end of the course. The year mark is the mark obtained
for the assignments you submitted during the year. The examination
mark counts 80% of the final mark and the year mark 20% of the final
mark. All assignments contribute towards your year mark. Because
there are a number of assignments the contribution of each
assignment is quite small. For example, if an assignment contributes
20% towards the year mark its actual contribution towards the final
mark is 4%.
Project A scenario is provided for which a psychological questionnaire is
required. The questionnaire consists of 10 questionnaire items and is
based on TWO personality theories (5 questionnaire items per
theory). The questionnaire has to be assessed to determine whether
the questionnaire items and the personality theories on which they are
based are fit the purposes of the questionnaire.
