2. Mid-Term / Class Test Attendance Policy i. ii. iii. For class tests / mid-terms that are 1 hour or less students are not allowed to enter after / leave before the first 10 minutes of the test. For class tests / mid-terms that more than 1 hour students are not allowed to enter after / leave before the first 30 minutes of the test. For class tests / mid-terms, students are not allowed to leave in the last 10 minutes of the test.

3. Barring from Final Examinations Please note that effective from the Jan 2011 semester, for all Psychology subjects, students must attempt any assessment within the enrolled subject that is 10% and above, and obtain at least 10% of the total marks for that particular assessment. Failure to do so will result in the student being barred from Final Examinations for that particular subject. For example, for a subject that has the following assessment: Quizzes: 5% Assignment 1: 10% Assignment 2: 15% Mid-terms: 30% Final Exams: 40% If a student does not submit/attend any of the following: Assignment 1 / Assignment 2 / Mid-terms (and obtain at least 10% of the marks for those assessments), this student will be barred from sitting for the final examinations of this subject. E.g. if a student attempts Assignment 1 and receives only 8 marks out of 100 (or 0.8% out of 10% - i.e. less than 10% of the marks for that assessment), they will be barred from that subjects final examinations. Please note that students have to submit their assignments within 7 days of the due date (the 7 days include weekends). Assignments submitted after that will not be considered. (i.e. students who submit assignments later than 7 days after the due date will be barred from final exams) 4. Late Assignment Deductions Late submission of assignments will incur a penalty of 2% per day (24 hours) (including Saturdays and Sundays). This 2% deduction per day is incurred on the total percentage of the assignment. For example: Assignment 1, worth 20% of your total grade, is marked upon 100 marks. The 2% deduction per day is from the 20% and not from the 100 marks. If a student submits the assignment 2 days late = 4% deduction = student receives a 16% maximum for the assignment. 5. Compulsory Participation in Experiments (This policy applies to all BusinessPsych / BPsych students***) Please note that it is compulsory for every student to participate in 1 hour of research this semester: 1 hour in total for the whole semester, regardless of the number of Psychology subjects you are enrolled in (E.g, a student enrolled in 3 Psychology subjects and a student enrolled in 1 Psychology subject will have to participate in the same number of hours (1 hour) of research). Failure to do so will result in 2% being deducted from each Psychology subject that you are enrolled in. Please see the Head of Department if you are uncomfortable with attending experiments and would like to

MAC 611 . June 2013

HELP UNIVERSITY MASTERS OF APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY IN COACHING JUNE JULY 2013

obtain alternative forms of assessment. No bonus marks will be allocated for participation of more than 1 hour of research. ***For the May 2013 semester, the following students are exempted from this requirement: 1. BPsych students who are only enrolled in PSY 313 Undergraduate Thesis 2 and no other Psychology subject. 2. BPsych students who are enrolled in PSY 201. (This does not apply to students with AE/AA grades for PSY 201). Important Note: Students must ensure that they attend every experiment that they sign up for. Failure to attend an experiment will result in the number of hours of that experiment being deducted from the compulsory hours you have completed. For example, if one signs up for a 2-hour experiment but fails to attend this experiment, the compulsory research hours in the system will be stated as -2 hours. As such, this student will need to participate in a total of 3 hours of experiments to fulfil the 1 hour compulsory requirement. Please refer to the Department of Psychology admin staff if you have any questions about this. 5. Ipsy.help.edu.my/experiments Students may sign up for all experiments at http://ipsy.help.edu.my/experiments.

There are instructions on the main page for all experimenters and participants, so please refer to the instructions there.

It is the experimenters responsibility to ensure that all students who have signed up and attended the experiment receive a confirmation of attendance. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Attention: All Participants Please double-check your compulsory research participation hours for accuracy.

2. Group members have a right to report fellow members for negligence if there are deemed to have failed in any of the responsibilities listed above. 2.1 Group members are encouraged to raise these complaints with their lecturers and attempts made to resolve differences before a formal complaint is lodged. Negligence (social loafing) reports can be filled in by one or several members of the group (see attached form) using forms that can be downloaded from the myacel site. Negligence reports should be submitted to the course lecturer who will then make a decision having investigated the issues raised. The group member accused will have an opportunity to defend themselves against the allegations made. If a student is found to be negligent in this matter, a lecturer can penalize them by deducting any amount of marks from their group assessment marks and/or their individual assignment marks.

8. Evaluations Every semester, there will be 2 evaluation processes for each subject: 1. Mid-semester evaluations: These evaluations are held in class and consist of 2 subjective questions. This is so that lecturers and tutors can receive feedback in the middle of the semester, in order to address student concerns and make improvements within the same semester. 2. Compulsory end of semester evaluations: These evaluations are conducted online and consist of Likert-scale questions as well as 2 subjective questions. The purpose of this is to obtain feedback that will be beneficial for future semesters. Students are strongly encouraged to fill in BOTH evaluation forms as feedback is important and can help the faculty make important decisions about the curriculum and the direction of the course.
