Heading casing[edit source]

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

  1. Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  3. Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  4. Use bullet points (see Tutorial 02)

Suggestion[edit source]

Hi there,

I have just made a couple of edits in removing some capitalisations as per wiki style and reformatted some in-text references as per APA style.

I also wanted to let you know that if you have time and wanted to add some more information, you still have around 1100 words to play with to get to the 4000 word mark. It might be worth expanding on how can inspiration be fostered as this is one of your guiding/focus questions however only has a paragraph addressing it.

Many thanks and all the best for the rest of your book chapter! AEMOR (discusscontribs) 03:07, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

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

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a basic, sufficient chapter
  2. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Basic Overview
  2. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
  3. Clear focus question(s)

Theory – Breadth[edit source]

  1. Relevant theory is reasonably well explained
  2. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  3. Well done on linking to, and distinguishing from, motivation more generally
  4. Also consider linking to related concepts such as peak experiences

Theory – Depth[edit source]

  1. Basic depth is provided about the selected theory(ies)
  2. Key citations are well used
  3. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  4. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts
  5. Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  6. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts

Research – Key findings[edit source]

  1. Basic overview of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful

Research – Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Most claims are referenced
  4. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Be wary of saying "prove" (science can really only disprove) and overstating claims. I suggest never using the word "prove" - consider editing the chapter to remove it.

Integration[edit source]

  1. Insufficient integration of relevant theory and research

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Basic summary; has a bit of wiffle-waffle
  2. What were the take-home message(s) for each focus question?
  3. Confusing last sentence. What were the detrimental impacts? These weren't discussed.

Written expression – Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    2. Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning
  2. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] 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.
    2. Check and make correct use of commas
    3. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    4. Tables
      1. Table captions should use APA style. See example
      2. Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
    5. Citations use correct APA style
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[1]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Written expression – Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is very good
  2. Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
  3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  4. Basic use of image(s)
  5. Good use of table(s)
  6. Good use of feature box(es)
  7. Very good use of quiz(zes)
  8. Very good use of case studies or examples
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~1 logged social contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. Thanks very much for your extensive contributions
  3. ~4 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess
