Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation. Structure and content More detail could be provided about the two types of emotional regulation (this part seems to be skipped over), with explanation about how this relates to meditation Slides are generally well referenced Direct quotes are probably over-used - best to put ideas into your own words in order to demonstrate your understanding The claims about the benefits of meditation on emotional regulation need more detailed explanation and support The focus of the presentation seems to be on changes to brain structures from meditation, but relatively little is said about the effect of meditation on emotional regulation and how this might occur The Conclusion lacks specificity and take-home messages. Communication Communication is generally good. There is too much text on some slides (e.g., the slide about the two types of emotional regulation) Some slides contain text that is not related to the voice-over (e.g., Changes in the brain through meditation) Production quality Production quality is basic, but effective. Audio has considerable white noise (this could be reduced by using a headset microphone) The text on the Attributions slide is too small to read easily The second slide provides a hyperlink to the chapter. There is no link provided in the video description.

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:08, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter. For more feedback, see these copyedits and comments below. Theory Theory is well covered, particularly in relation to the types of emotional regulation and the role of various brain structured in emotion. Research Research is very well covered, with close referencing of a wide variety of relevant research studies evident. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Written expression is generally very good. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. The quality of written expression could be improved in some places (e.g., where clarification templates have been added to the page). Layout Heading levels should start with Level 2, then progress to Level 3 etc. Remove bold formatting from headings (use default heading formatting). See earlier comments about heading casing Learning features Effective use of interwiki links is made in the first half of the chapter, however these links were overused. Links should be judiciously selected. Some of the links are unnecessary (e.g., Commonly, 1998) and should be removed. Some of the links don't work (e.g., accepted). There were no interwiki links in the second half of the chapter. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize -> hypothesise) Grammar and proofreading Check and correct use of effect vs. affect Check and correct use of commas Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals') APA style Add APA style captions to tables and figures. et al -> et al. The reference list is not in full APA style.
