ARHOLIAD	Final Take Home Exam	This two-part exam is designed to assess the breadth and depth of your knowledge and understanding of the social psychology theories discussed in lectures. Gateway MCQ This test assesses the breadth of your knowledge. Questions for this test are randomly selected from a large testbank, so the questions and the order of the answers will be different each time a test is run. You can complete this gateway test any time from the first week of the course to the final essay exam date. You can attempt this test as often as you need to pass. You can refer to course materials or confer with others. The pass rate for this test is 35 points. This is a gateway assessment because you must pass this test in order for your final essay exam to be graded. Failure to pass this test before submitting your final essay exam will mean that your final exam receives a grade of zero. 6hr Essay Exam This exam assesses the depth of your knowledge. You will be expected to use content from beyond the lectures obtained through your own wider research, showing that you have engaged with the topic on a deeper level. It would be unrealistic to expect you to show depth of analysis and extensive extra reading in every single topic, so this essay provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate this in your chosen topic area. This exam is also designed to provide real world experience of working under pressure. It is a test of your ability to produce high quality work demonstrating extra research within a high-pressure time-limited setting. Five essay questions will be released at 9am on the day of the exam.	50.00
