The essay has to be a review of peer-reviewed scientific literature, with references included in APA style. After the section of the review, the research proposal needs to include the suggested research question and methods (design, participants, measures/tools to use, etc.). Write a 3-4 page long interview report based on a discussion they conduct with an adult interviewee (on their past and current eating behavior, their attitude on and relationship to it, its determinants and antecedents), applying the biopsychosocial perspective acquired in class. mode of evaluation: Term mark (1-5 grades) criteria of evaluation: Besides meeting the requirement of handing in compulsory assignments and homeworks by the deadline, students’ evaluation is based on the quality of their essay and interview report.
