Overall Overall, this is a strong CR-level textbook chapter. It demonstrates a very good understanding of Dementia and applies the discussion of Dementia to the topic of motivation in an interesting and informative way. Images, case studies and a quiz are effective learning aids. The main areas for improvement are in utilising more primary peer-reviewed sources (it was good to see government websites used and these are good for general information, but it would have been desirable to see greater use of primary, peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters. The written expression was generally good, but see some suggestions below. Theory Research When describing important research findings, try to indicate the size of effects rather than simply whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Written expression Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.

Overall Overview Wow - I am blown away. This is an outstanding presentation. What a fabulous interview this is, covering so many key points from the chapter is such a engaging way, woven with quotes from research. The post-production and editing etc. is also excellent, but its the story and design which really works. Other than adding a statement about licensing, I think this is an exemplar presentation.
