Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this a promising chapter. Strengths include the applied example and practical exercises. Areas for improvement include the review of research, level of detail at the beginning and end, and redrafting/proofreading.
  2. The Overview and Conclusion are underdeveloped.
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. Basic but sufficient coverage of theory involving the relation between the target constructs is provided.
  3. Overall, this chapter makes basic use of theory.
  4. There is too much general theoretical material. Instead, summarise and link to further information, to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).
  5. Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of theory.
  6. The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.

Research[edit source]

  1. Some useful research is identified and discussed, but I'm not convinced that this chapter provides a comprehensive review of relevant research (e.g., https://search.informit.com.au/fullText;dn=876602060771502;res=IELHSS).

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is a bit untidy - it could do with redrafting and better proofreading.
    2. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words.
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
    2. I've added the 2nd level of headings.
    3. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
    4. Avoid having sections with only one sub-section.
  3. Learning features
    1. No use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    2. No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Basic use of images.
    4. No use of tables.
    5. No use of feature boxes.
    6. Basic use of quizzes.
    7. Excellent use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').
    2. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.).
  5. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags).
  6. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
  7. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Do not include author initials.
      2. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    3. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      2. Add spaces between author initials.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~1 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence
