CC0005 Healthy Living and Wellbeing S2 Group Assignment Brief - NTU

A THE TASK 

1. Your group (of 5 to 6 members) will carry out a group project based on the health challenge theme and problem (Appendix 1) and demographic represented by the persona (Appendix 2) assigned to your group.
2. Your  group  will  select  the  persona’s  level  of  readiness  to  change  (e.g.,  precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action) to inform problem analysis and solution design. By aligning interventions  with  the  persona’s  mindset  and  motivation,  you  can  create  more  targeted strategies and a prototype that better support their specific stage of health behavior change.  
3. Your  group  will  give  a  maximum  of  8-minutes  in-class  presentation  that  addresses  the challenge and synthesises the lessons from the Healthy Living half of this course. At the end of the presentation, your group will be given about 2 minutes for a Question & Answer segment. Your group will identify who will present and decide on the number of presenters in the group. 
4. The presentation should focus on the intended users  (personas) of your proposed  solution, assuming favourable financial conditions to launch your project.

B. PROJECT TYPE

1. Your group will develop and present a prototype to illustrate your proposed solution. The prototype is a simple experimental model of your proposed solution that allows you to implement ideas into tangible forms and capture ways that can address the health challenge.
2. The choice of prototype is either a programme or a product. The prototype should demonstrate the intention around change, with goals, outcomes, and indicators to measure progress towards the desired healthy state.

C. TASK COMPLETION:

One group representative will upload the group presentation slides via the Assignment folder on NTULearn Tutorial site with the following file naming convention: “TGXXHL_GroupX” e.g. TG01HL_Group1.  

D. PRESENTATION FORMAT 

The group presentation should be succinct and must NOT exceed 8 minutes. The recommended headers in the presentation deck  include the following and are not restricted to the sequence:  

1. Challenge that will be addressed 
2. Evidence and relevance of the problem  
3. Problem statement defined by your group 
4. Key activities or features of proposed solution 
5. Feasibility and effectiveness of proposed solution 
6. References (APA format) and acknowledgement for information used.

E.UPHOLDING ACADEMIC INTEGRITY 

NTU upholds exacting standards regarding academic integrity. Please ensure that you adhere to the academic writing requirements and do not commit acts of academic dishonesty, including: 

1. Plagiarism:  To  use  or  pass  off  as  one’s  own,  writings  or  ideas  of  another,  without acknowledging or crediting the source from which the ideas are taken. 
2. Collusion: To submit an assignment, project or report  completed by  another person and passing it off as one’s own. 
3. Academic  fraud:  A  form  of  academic  dishonesty  which  includes  cheating,  collusion, falsification of data, false citation, and contract cheating.  
4. Facilitating academic dishonesty: Allowing or contributing to another student to copy your work/assignment/ assessment/exam.  

Extending the practice of correctly citing references in your work under NTU’s policies on citation and plagiarism,  the  University  requires students to  (i)  identify  any  generative  AI tools  used and  (ii) declare how the tools are used in submitted work. Please note that even with acknowledgement, copying of output generated by AI tools (in part or whole) may still be regarded as plagiarism. NTU expects students to uphold the Student Code of Conduct at all times. The act of taking words or ideas from other sources, including ChatGPT and other AI technologies, and present them as your own without proper citation of the source(s), will be treated as misconduct.

F. ASSESSMENT

The group presentation constitutes 20% of your module grade and will be assessed based on the criteria in Appendix 4.  To foster a collaborative experience, and to hold groupmates responsible for satisfactory and timely contributions,  students  will  be  required  to  evaluate  all  their  groupmates  with  regards  to contributions to the group project.

There will be two rounds of Peer Assessment: 1. Week 7: Formative ungraded peer assessment to provide qualitative feedback to groupmates. 
2. Week 13: A holistic evaluation of each groupmate’s contributions to both projects is compulsory.

• If the Peer Assessment mark given to you by your groupmates warrants moderation, both presentations will be moderated.
• If you do not complete the compulsory Week 13 evaluations, the non-completion penalty will also be imposed on both presentations. 
• Please refer to the Course Outline on NTULearn, for details on the rubric for Peer Assessment.  

G.  PROJECT GUIDE (optional)

Your group may use the Project Proposal Form (Appendix 4) to help you develop your project. You do NOT need to submit this proposal form.
