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

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 an insufficient chapter
  2. I suspect that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter.
  3. Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations
  4. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  5. For additional feedback, see the following comments and copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Basic
  2. Provide a case study or scenario with an image in a feature box to help engage reader interest
  3. Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Basic focus questions

Theory[edit source]

  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological theory about this topic
  2. Overly focused on general theoretical background; instead summarise, link to related resources (i.e., other book chapters and/oor Wikipedia articles), and concentrate on substantive aspects of theory that relate directly to the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).
  3. Build more strongly on other related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles(e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  4. Insufficient depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  5. Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information
  6. The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation – instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources
  7. Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  8. Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts

Research[edit source]

  1. Insufficient review of relevant research
  2. Overly reliant on Džinović (2022)
  3. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  4. Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  6. 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
  7. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)

Integration[edit source]

  1. Basic integration between theory and research

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Basic summary and conclusion
  2. Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest
  3. Key points are summarised
  4. Add practical, take-home message(s)

Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    2. Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2]
    3. Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
    4. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences.
    5. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
    6. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[3] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
    2. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
    3. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
    4. Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional bold)
    5. See earlier comments about heading casing
    6. Provide more descriptive headings
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
    2. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[4]
  4. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
  5. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use serial commas[5] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    3. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159)
    4. Figures
      1. Figures are captioned
      2. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    5. Citations use correct APA style
    6. Very limited reference list
    7. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      2. Include hyperlinked dois

Learning features[edit source]

  1. Minimal use of learning features
  2. No 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. Minimal use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Minimal use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  8. Basic use of case studies or examples
  9. Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Good use of external links in the "External links" section

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~3 logged, useful, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia presentation feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn 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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an insufficient presentation mainly because of the lack of conclusion and licensing information. The rest of the presentation is basic but sufficient.
  2. The presentation is under the maximum time limit, so there was room for further development of the ideas

Overview[edit source]

  1. An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation
  2. Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest
  3. Establish a context for the presentation (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand
  4. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.

Content[edit source]

  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory
  4. The presentation makes insufficient use of relevant psychological research
  5. Ideally, make more explicit use of research
  6. Include citations to support claims
  7. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages in response to each focus question

Audio[edit source]

  1. The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio
  2. Consider speaking more loudly to make it easier for the viewer to hear (I needed near maximum volume)
  3. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
  4. Consider using shorter sentences. This will help to introduce natural pauses at full-stops.
  5. Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement
  6. Audio recording quality was OK. Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard and/or mouse clicks were audible). Consider using an external microphone.
  7. The narrated content is matched to the target topic (see content) but lacked explicit synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic

Video[edit source]

  1. Overall, visual display quality is basic
  2. The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides
  3. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read
  4. The amount of text presented per slide could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time
  5. The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by images and/or diagrams
  6. The presentation is basically produced using simple tools
  7. The visual content is well matched to the target topic (see content) but lacked explicit synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic

Meta-data[edit source]

  1. The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. A very brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand.
  3. A link to the book chapter is not provided
  4. A link from the book chapter is provided

Licensing[edit source]

  1. Image sources and their copyright status are not provided
  2. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided
