Overall Overall comments This chapter demonstrates thorough research around core theories and interventions for positive growth from trauma. It is beautifully presented and would benefit from further proof reading and use of APA style. Theory Theory comments Trauma is very well-defined and distinguished from other concepts. The introduction is concise and develops a logical progression of ideas. Research Research comments The chapter details effective pathways/interventions available to achieve growth from trauma. Key studies are used to support each theory. Written expression Written expression comments Great opening quote; applies perfectly to the topic of trauma and growth through adversity. Key focus questions set up the topic beautifully and correlate with the main structure of the text. Wiki features are used effectively throughout the chapter, including boxes to segregate text and images with captions to illustrate key points. Expression was generally fantastic; however, there were some minor errors that could be rectified with further proof reading (e.g., “producing more a more positive view”; “Ect”; “known for me traditional psychology”; “much like much like the message”). APA style was generally ok; however, remember to italicise journal titles and volume numbers and try to avoid using ampersand in text.

Overall Overall, this is a solid, basic, effective presentation using narrated text and slides on Authorstream. Structure and content The introduction could establish clear focus questions The content is a relatively standard summary of the book chapter The content is relatively simple (good) and understandable The content uses a basic example (Earthquake) No summary section with take-away messages? Communication The narration was well-paced (not too fast) The concepts could be communicated more creativeley - perhaps some other examples not just of trauma, but of post-traumatic growth? Production quality The presentation made effective use of relatively simple production tools (good) This presentation worked well on Authorstream The audio quality was very clear The slides were relatively basic, but also clear and easy to read
