Overall A good attempt at an interesting topic. Overall, the chapter could be improved by using clearer expression and including more reference to research. Theory The first theory presented is well identified, however the chapter would benefit from explaning this construct in greater detail. The mathematical theory of surprise is perhaps too complex for this chapter - try to keep the target audience in mind at all times. Well done for including some practical applications. Research Some interesting research is put forward. To improve further, read more widely so that more research can be included. It is particularly important to report research in support of the theories presented. Also, critical analysis of the literature would improve the chapter. Written expression The structure of this chapter is sound, however the written expression and weight of content could be improved. Be sure to proof read before submission as there are some grammatical errors. To improve further, include some pictures towards the top of the page, and also some interactive features (e.g. quiz) throughout. ShaunaB (discuss • contribs)

Overall Structure and content Research and theory are included but not explored in great enough detail. The flow is appropriate. Communication The ideas presented were communicated quite clearly through voice. Visuals are not used to enhance the presentation. As a result, the presentation is not engaging for the viewer. Production quality Sound quality is poor, and difficult to understand in some sections. With only one slide being used throughout, ability to use basic production tools was not demonstrated.
