Comments

Hey just wanted to suggest you looking at crime of passion. All the best ~Iga.leszczynska

Hi! In my book chapter on Suicidal Terrorism Motivation, I have include the Rational Choice Theory as a way to describe suicide terrorism motivation. It is a theory that was originally created to explain criminal behaviour, and might be useful for your chapter. It is based on the assumption that people commit criminal acts because they believe the benefits outweigh the negatives, which could also be applied to murder motivation.

Hi! Great topic. I would suggest adding a quiz, table, or image to break up some of the text and make your book chapter a little bit more interactive and engaging.--U3196787 (discuss • contribs) 17:44, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

@U3196787: I recommend focusing your comments on the Motivation and emotion/Book/2021 chapters. It's unlikely a student from six years ago will be checking for comments and updating their chapter. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 01:53, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 20:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this chapter lacked sufficient consideration of psychological theory and research. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory There is limited coverage of relevant psychological theory. Research There is limited coverage of relevant psychological research. Some statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Written expression The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., see where clarification templates have been added to the page). Add bullet-points for See also and External links. See earlier comments about heading casing No images or tables were used. Add more Interwiki links (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and particularly to other related Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement. The reference list is not in full APA style.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation. Structure and content Include citations. I am doubtful that "no motivation" really exists (except in the case of an accident, which is not murder - murder is intended) as an explanation - all behaviours are motivated (the motivation may be unconscious). Basic theory is covered; no research is reviewed; some examples are provided. What are the practical, take-home messages? Communication Audio is very difficult to hear (too quiet). Font size should be increased to make text easier to read (and use non-serif font). Consider using greater intonation to enhance engagement. Production quality Audio was very very quiet - virtually inaudible even on maximum volume at this end. Rename the title so that it includes the subtitle (and matches the book chapter). Fill out the description field (e.g., brief description of presentation, link back to the book chapter, license details, and possibly include references and image attributions). The copyright licenses and sources for the images used is not indicated - there may have been copyright violation unless you own the copyright to the images used or these were public domain images. A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the description or in the presentation slides). No link is provided back to the book chapter.
