Grading of assignment

This assignment contributes towards 20% of your final grade for the course. See the last page of this document for the detailed breakdown of how this assignment will be graded.

Instructions for assignment

Your job in this assignment is:

•   Watch the YouTube video “ You May Never Eat Fruit Again after Watching This” by “Dr. Eric Berg DC” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLGDWYiBGgo) and write a 600-800 words review on the topic.

•   Investigate and evaluate content and arguments in the video with your scientific literacy, and conclude whether “we should stop eating fruits” . Support your conclusion with two pieces of evidence.

•   Think about the following questions when you are watching the video. Some of these questions (or your own questions) may guide and help you to develop your arguments in the review.

    Who is the author (creator)?

    What does the title imply and what is the content suggesting?

    Are the arguments backed by scientifically literate and convincing evidence/data?

    Can you find information from alternative sources that support/contradict with it?

•   Use a variety of sources (e.g., reputable websites, peer-reviewed articles, books) to support your own arguments. Use at least three references in your review (the video does not count).

•   Include a reference list for all your sources (at the end of the paper), and include in-text citations. The reference list will not be counted towards the word limit. [see below]

•   Be careful not to plagiarize! Never copy and paste! Paraphrase instead [see below]

•    Students are allowed to employ AI-enabled tools in their course assignments. Declaration of the use of Generative AI tools and the explanation how the generated materials have been incorporated into the assignment should be included in the submitted assignment. [see details in the Course syllabus and ‘CCC8013 Important Things’ PDF on Moodle]

Guidelines for references/citations

A reference list (or bibliography) 1) credits authors whose work you referred to, and 2) helps readers locate your information sources. As a minimum, references must include:

•    Journal articles: Author names, year of publication, title, journal name, journal volume, pages

•    Books: Author names, year, title, publisher

•    Websites: Author names, date of publication, article title, website name, URL

•    Examples:

     Journal articles: Stiassny, M. L. J. (1996). An overview of freshwater biodiversity: with some lessons from African fishes. Fisheries, 21(9): 7-13.

     Books: Halloran,M. E., Longini, I. M., & Struchiner, C. J. (2010). Design and analysis of vaccine studies (Vol. 18). New York: Springer.

     Websites:  Hong  Kong Observatory  (n.d.)  Causes  of climate  change.  Hong  Kong

Observatory (HKO): Climate Change.

https://www.hko.gov.hk/en/climate_change/human_activities.htm

In addition to your reference list, in-text citations are required.

•    In-text citations = a short version of a reference, but located within your main text

•    Typical format: (author’s lastname, year of publication)

•    Examples:

      … Fishes are one of the most diverse groups of animals, making up a quarter to half of all vertebrate species globally (Stiassny, 1996) …

      Two authors: (Chan & Ng, 1996); >2 authors: (Halloran et al., 1996)

Plagiarism (IMPORTANT)

Plagiarism  =  presenting  someone  else’s  work  or  ideas  as  your  own,  whether  intentionally  or unintentionally. Plagiarism is considered intellectual dishonesty (i.e., cheating) and comes with grave consequences. See “IMPORTANT: Avoid Plagiarism” document on course Moodle page. Also, checkout the Lingnan University guide on ways to avoid plagiarism.

Plagiarism can happen when:

•     Copying and pasting text from sources

•    Using information without crediting the source

•    Using direct quotations excessively (even with proper citations)

To avoid plagiarism:

•    Always paraphrase (= rewrite using your own words)

    Paraphrasing DOES NOT mean copying and pasting, and inserting a few extra words

    More information about paraphrase is available on the “CCC8013 Process of Science - ENGLISH SUPPORT” Moodle page

•    Always cite your sources (in-text and reference list)

•    Avoid using direct quotations unless necessary. Use quotations marks (“ ”) for quotes.

Turnitin is a plagiarism-detection software. Your assignment will be compared against the whole internet and other student submissions (past and present), and a similarity score will be calculated. If plagiarism is detected, you will get zero marks and be referred to the university for further disciplinary action (e.g., automatic failure for the course).
