Social Media Mental Health Report
The aim of this assignment is to expose you to the current issues involving Social Media and Mental Health. Your first step will be to identify a general topic that you would like to choose for this research report. This could be any topic involving Mental Health and Social Media. You are advised to spend some time on Google Scholar to give you some ideas on current research.
Step 2, to avoid writing a generic report it is advisable that you select a few (about 3) defining keywords that will shape your assignment such as platform type, health issues and age group. For example, if you are keen to look at
‘Impact of Instagram on Teenagers’ then the following keywords could apply - ’depression’, ’teenagers’ and ’Instagram’. Use these keywords and look-up Google Scholar and firm a topic of your choice. Once selected please consult your tutor for approval. No other student report should feature the same topic/issue.
Step 3, Source at least 15 relevant academic articles at least (conference and journals) which your assignment will rely upon heavily to deliver analytical discussion apart from literature support. No blogs or Wikipedia are accepted. In total there should be at least 15 academic articles. Please remember that the marker is looking for an analytical report. This would mean that your report will require in-text citations for credible literature.
Your 4th step is to ensure that your report has enough depth and reflects our discussion in class. It is important that you narrow your discussion to a particular issue. Citing of actual case studies is highly recommended. Be critical in your report and compare similar academic articles to understand and analyse the content. High Distinctions are often attained by students who have understood, analysed and are able critique the content.
Finally, you are required to draw a conclusion for the topic/issue which should include a strategy section discussing what should be considered in future as a remedy. Do remember that this assignment needs to be delivered in a report format with proper sections (executive summary, introduction, content by sections, conclusion, references).

Assignment Hints and Tips:
• If you’re unsure of the structural differences between a report and an essay, please seek help from the library or learning support centre.
• It is essential to read widely and use your own words to describe / discuss your thoughts. Regurgitating or copying word for word will lead to severe reduction in marks.
• IMPORTANT: Plagiarism – the action or practice of taking and using as one’s own, the thoughts, writings or other work of someone else – is not condoned by the University and severe penalties will be imposed where plagiarism is detected. Examples of plagiarism range from copying a passage from a book or another person’s assignment without appropriate acknowledgement, using another student’s computer program, or submitting identical assignments. All assignments will be checked for instances of plagiarism.
