Assignment title: Information
You must come up with a small descriptive research idea that will help you understand some
aspect of mental health amongst your fellow students. Your instructor has lots of questionnaires
measuring different aspects of well-being (he/she can help you) Also you might develop your own
questionnaire or interview people, maybe do a case study. Here is a list of ideas, but you can
come up with your own

After you have collected your data you should analyze it (averages and percentages etc.) and
write a brief report - 800 to 1200 words – presenting your findings. Those producing the best
work will be given an award and asked to present in class.
You should use APA citation and referencing in your report. The report would have the following
sections
• Intro – why is this topic important
• Aim – what did you aim to do
• Method – how did you do it
• Results – what did you find
• Discussion – talk about what you found and how you might improve in the future
