Hey Grant,

Image depicting a frustrated man at a desk

You probably already know this but I thought I'd link you to some pictures to add to your page... Frustration images for example type in two open square brackets copy and paste File:Frustrated man at a desk.jpg|thumb|Image depicting a frustrated man at a desk and close with two closing square brackets. Let me know if you want help with anything...Thank you U3061292 (discuss • contribs) 02:37, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Feedback

"this chapter will help you to improve your life by mastering your frustration and using it to your advantage" - love it.

Also love the three quotes you have used. All "stop-and-make-you-think"-ers.

The focus your chapter has taken is not what I expected - not that I had put a great deal of thought into it - but I guess I expected it to be on "how to lower frustration". Learning to view frustration as natural and how to use it to advantage makes a lot more sense. An excellent "self-help" offering. And after a quick read of your chapter, I do not know what you were talking about, saying you were struggling to find theory on this topic! It certainly seems you have managed to work that out :)

Well done Grant, you pulled through. And really well at that.

Jacki.

P.s. Hope you managed to use your frustration to advantage in getting this assignment done in the end ;)

Overall Overall, this is a fabulous chapter on a challenging topic. Theory This is a theory-rich chapter that demonstrates a logical flow from defining frustration to explaining it in the context of the concept of emotion, and from the point of view of four facets of emotion. Reconcile the table "Scherer's 13 Stimulus Evaluation Checks (SECs)" and the text-based summary (which I put into a numbered list). This is also true of Table 5. Research This is a well researched chapter and makes extensive use of relevant citations. For a couple of key studies, it could be helpful to explain their findings in more detail. Where possible, discuss size of effects/relationships between frustration and other psychological constructs of interest e.g., aggression. Written expression In general, the chapter is very well written. Some proofreading improvements were noted - see my edits. Maybe replace/contrast dictionary definition with psychological theory definition. APA style check alphabetical order of citations e.g., I switched these two into this order: Nickel, 1974; Pastore, 1950 use ampersand rather than & in brackets for citations Sometimes shorter sentences could be used. Consider using a full stop where sometimes "and" or a a comma might be used. See my edits for some examples. Use 'participants' rather than 'subjects' (updated APA style) Make links to Wikipedia articles using internal linking e.g., frustration When using famous quotes, it is a good idea to link to either related Wiki Quotes or Wikipedia pages about the author. Table captions should go above table (e.g., Table 6 is below. The chapter was longer than it needed to be - so consider ways to reduce content (e.g., perhaps move some content to a new/different topic or put content into subpages.)

Overall Overall, this is an effective, well produced multimedia recording about frustration. Structure and content The presentation is well structure and content is sound, although there is little mention of research. Perhaps there is too much transcript/audio about the components of emotion (this was a big chunk of the middle part of the presentation) Communication Overall, the main content of the chapter is well communicated. Video and slides are well-prepared. Most slides have an appropriate amount text (not too much - although text is somewhat small on "how can you use this info..."). Audio is clear - perhaps errs on the too fast side - more pause between slides and sentences could help to let the audio sink in. This would mean being more judicious about content to include. Production quality Overall, very well produced, matching simple tools with effective video examples. Very engaging intro with video/examples - great stuff In other respects, the presentation makes effective use of basic tools.
