MDD: Final assessment
To complete this module, you should submit both of the assessments below.
First, you will write an SAQ response using material in this unit on depression. Complete the task and submit.
The second task is an essay. For the essay prompt below, please complete the essay and then send the file to your teacher. You should verify with your teacher how the essay should be submitted - as a Google doc, by email, or as a written task in Inthinking.
Task 1. Linking to Paper 1
Write a response to the following SAQ prompt making use of one study of Major Depressive Disorder.
Explain one study of the role of one gene in one human behaviour.
Task 2. Writing an ERQ
Give yourself one hour to write a well-developed response to the following question:
Evaluate one or more sociocultural etiologies of one disorder.
Exam tip
Remember that an "evaluate" question requires you to discuss both strengths and limitations of the etiology. If you only discuss the limitations of the etiology, you may only earn the low markband for critical thinking. In addition, remember that you are not simply evaluating research - you have to evaluate the theory on which the etiology is based.
