  1. Overall, this is a P-level, readable and interesting chapter on self-sabotaging. A solid, basic understanding of the psychological knowledge on the topic is evident.
  1. Sufficient, basic motivational theory was covered.
  1. Sufficient, basic research was used.
  1. The chapter was reasonably well written. It was quite reasonable and wasn't overly ambitious, but it probably lacked mostly in depth of use of relevant theory and research and in particular would have benefited from more closely citing sources e.g., "appears more common than may be initially thought".
  2. Getting comments on a chapter plan and/or chapter draft could have helped.
  3. Self-esteem was heavily linked to Wikipedia; it would be stronger to just link the first self-esteem and not other ones, but to also include Wikpipedia links for other key concepts e.g., goal setting.
  4. Spelling, grammar and proofreading
    1. This was generally good; some changes have been suggested through my edits to the chapter.
  5. Limited use of additional learning features and resources.
  6. APA style
    1. Overall, APA style was P-level.
    2. Images were not captioned using APA style.
    3. APA style and formatting wasn't applied to references

  1. This presentation succeeded in communicating a bullet-point style and audio summary of the textbook chapter. The main suggestion would be to try to engage the interest of the viewer at first - maybe with some examples - why is the topic important? What could we learn? What are the main issues of interest? (Focus questions). And then for the body to more selectively focus on communicating a smaller number of key ideas.
  2. Audio was quiet (I had to crank the volume).
  3. Slow down. Let your statements sink in a bit. This would also mean focusing on less content.
  4. Text on slides was very clear (high contrast) - well done
  5. Few images?
  6. Voice became rather monotone.
  7. No animation - to make it a bit more alive.
  8. Well done on publishing to youtube.
  9. What is the licensing?
