Insufficient use of relevant psychological theory about this topic
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).
Build more strongly on other related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles(e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
Insufficient depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information
The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation – instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources
Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2]
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.
Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences.
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
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional bold)
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)
Figures
Figures are captioned
Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
Citations use correct APA style
Very limited reference list
References are not in full APA style. For example:
Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
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.
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.
Minimal use of image(s)
No use of table(s)
Minimal use of feature box(es)
Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
Basic use of case studies or examples
Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
Good use of external links in the "External links" section

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, this is an insufficient presentation mainly because of the lack of conclusion and licensing information. The rest of the presentation is basic but sufficient.
The presentation is under the maximum time limit, so there was room for further development of the ideas
The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio
Consider speaking more loudly to make it easier for the viewer to hear (I needed near maximum volume)
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.
Consider using shorter sentences. This will help to introduce natural pauses at full-stops.
Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement
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.
The narrated content is matched to the target topic (see content) but lacked explicit synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic
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.
A very brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand.
