Tips to do this assessment well.
• Attend your classes as we will be using the same videos to practice MSE skills together.
• Watch all the relevant lectures on the assessment including Welcome lecture 3, and Module 1
lectures on mental health assessment & MSE.
• Read the instruction and ru
ic thoroughly, then read it again!
• Watch the example video & refer to the written MSE, found in the assessment resource
folder.
• You do not need to write introduction and conclusion for this written report, however you
still need an APA cover.
• You do not need to write a timecode.
• This assessment is to be completed using academic writing style. Do not write MSE in dot
points. Use complete sentences.
• To find relevant literature, start with your textbook and use the La Trobe li
ary.
• There is no minimum number of references required, however any arguments need to include
a high-quality literature reference.
• If you have a question about the assessment, please check Q&A forum if your question has
een already answered or use the Q&A forum to ask a question. This will help others that
have the same question.
• Also, you can ask a question at a weekly zoom drop-in with the subject coordinator.
• DO NOT collude. If your work appears to be highly similar to other students, both students
