Fall term essay submission

Below is the procedure for submission for all Fall term affiliate students.
You are to submit two 2000 word (max) essays per psychology module (e.g., PSYC 2207).

The first essay of each module is due on Friday Dec, 3rd 2010 at 3 pm.
The second essay of each module is due on Thursday Dec, 16th 2010 at 3pm

Essays are to be submitted on Psychology Online System (POS) at

https://www.online.psychol.ucl.ac.uk/login.aspx

After clicking ‘workspace’, you will find a relevant 'course code' on the left side, depending on how many psych modules you have ('AFF1' if you're doing one module, 'AFF2' for two modules, and so on), with the correct number of written work to submit (two for 'AFF1', four for 'AFF2' and so on). These are generic POS 'course codes' specially created for affiliate essay submission, and do not correspond to specific psychology modules that you are enrolled in. The essays you submit will be sorted afterwards based on the specific module names. You can also submit before the due dates above.

Please email steve.williams@ucl.ac.uk if you are having trouble logging in, or if the course code you see on POS does not correspond to the number of psych modules you are taking.

Below is the link to a step-by-step instruction with screenshots of POS:

https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=1r2LFeowsHS6Y3hsfin76Q909--rEE0qhlJCEgHiyMImyUsFlGq4mWMon4Rf_&hl=en&authkey=CP3J68YD

For sorting purposes, you need to save your essay file with a specific format:

Coursecode (4 digits), i or ii (for first or second essay), underscore, UCL username (zcj...)

For example, on Dec 3rd, an essay for PSYC3307A submitted by a student with the username zcjtfa2 should have the file name3307i_zcjtfa2 and on Dec 16th, the file name should be 3307ii_zcjtfa2.

For those students who are permitted to submit one 4000 word essay rather than two 2000 word ones (e.g. for 3203), you need to submit a dummy document file Dec,3rd with file name: 3203DUMMY_zcjtfa2 and then the real 4000 word essay on Dec, 16th with the file name 3203_zcjtfa2 (without i or ii).
Important notes:

It is assumed that essays submitted through POS are genuine work of the authors and that material drawn from other sources has been appropriately acknowledged. Any case of plagiarism will be treated seriously.

Essays should follow general APA citation and references guidelines. Only include your candidate number AND UCL username (zcj...) as a header or footer within the document, not your real name. For ease of marking, include essay questions in the beginning of essay.

Seminar groups Fall 2010

Dear affiliates,




We have made the final seminar group allocation. Please find below your name and to which seminar group you belong to. Seminars are compulsory to those taking two or more psychology courses in the Fall term. The seminars meet for one hour every week and will commence in the week of October 11th 2010 (this coming week).


After consulting with doodle and your individual timetable, we have made some changes to your proposed slots. We have tried our best to only make changes where necessary. Particularly, we had to move some students who signed up to the Monday slots to Thursday because there were too many sign-ups for these slots, and not enough space for everyone who preferred these slots. We have tried our best to make sure that the slot doesn't clash with your timetable, in the case that you provided it.

However, if you find that your seminar clashes with another class, you must find somebody to swap with and let us know about this swap.


We look forward to seeing you next week.

Best,

Matthias and Irma
