Title Good. I've tidied up the formatting. Author details removed - authorship is as per the page's editing history User page Excellent - used effectively Description about self provided Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution None summarised with link(s) to evidence. Headings Basic, 1-level heading structure. Effective use of questions, based on focus questions in Overview. Could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure. Key points Overview - Consider: Reducing general content about motivation - condense and link to other resources for more info. an example or case study Great to see the practical and research emphasis. Expand theory. Excellent use of citations. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Conclusion (the most important section): hasn't been developed what might the take-home, practical messages be? in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question in the sub-title? Figure Excellent Caption uses APA style. Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Very good For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation Note that in APA style online dictionary references are meant to include a retrieval date (weird, I know). No need to include reference for the image; this info should however be included on the page for the image itself. Links to Wikipedia articles should be in the See also section. Resources None provided

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation. Overview This presentation has an engaging introduction to hook audience interest. Display and narrate a slide with the title and sub-title to help the viewer understanding the purpose of the presentation. A context for the topic is established. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section. The presentation addresses the topic. Unnecessary focus on the detail of measurement. The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological theory. The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research. How are the uncertainty factors useful in addressing the focus questions? What are the moderators of uncertainty tolerance. The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice. Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with a basic take-home message(s). The presentation could be strengthened by expanding on the take-home message (e.g., answers to more than one focus question). Audio The audio is easy to follow. The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio. Audio communication is well paced. Good intonation enhances listener interest and engagement. Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement. Audio recording quality was very good. Video Overall, visual display quality is good. The presentation makes good use of text- and icon-based slides. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images and/or diagrams. The presentation is well produced using simple tools.

Heading casing

FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example: Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:10, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

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. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. Well over the maximum word count. This chapter "beats around the bush" (i.e., there are a lot of words for not a lot of substance). For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Overview Solid Overview. Explains the problem or phenomenon in abstract terms. Some examples or a case study would be helpful. Clear focus question(s). Theory — Breadth Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided. Overly focused on definitional issues; abbreviate. Theory — Depth Basic depth is provided about the selected theory(ies). More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts. Research — Key findings Basic overview of relevant research. Overly focused on measurement issues; abbreviate. Table 1 is unnecessary detail - provide a link to this information instead. What would be useful is a table with a definition for each factors and maybe a sample item. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Research — Critical thinking Basic critical thinking about research is evident. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Discussion of theory and research is reasonably well integrated. Conclusion Basic summary. Add practical, take-home message(s). Written expression — Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is basic. Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words. Direct quotes are overused. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections. Grammar The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance. Use serial commas[1] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min). Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[2]. Check and correct use of semi-colons (;) and colons (:). Check and make correct use of commas. Spelling Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. APA style Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words. Figures Figures are very well captioned. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1). Tables Table captions should use APA style. See example. Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1). Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either: in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020) Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Check and correct use of italicisation Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Written expression — Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is good. Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. # One use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding more in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Good use of image(s). Basic use of table(s). Very good use of feature box(es). Very good use of focus questions. Limited use of case studies or examples. Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. No use of external links in the "External links" section. Social contribution No logged social contributions.
