Overall Overall, this was a great effort and an important and interesting topic, well done. Structure and content There was a nice effort to include theories on empathy development, and a neuropsychological approach was discussed. For improvement, consider including the discussion of specific research studies and expansion on some of the concepts covered i.e atypical development Communication Overall, brainshark was used to good effect. The pacing was good and the slides were generally not cluttered. For improvement, the use of a case study or real life example might help to further engage the viewer. Production quality The visual quality was sound, however the sound level varied at times. Links and image refs were included, but remember to include references and licensing informationCourtney.Bruce (discuss • contribs) 03:51, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this is a very well constructed chapter. It stays focused on the central question and makes effective use of theory and research in a readable manner. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is well covered. Perhaps more could be said about cognitive theories of affect and neurological theories. Effective connection to disorders is made. Research Research is well covered. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of the effects. The Reeve (2009) textbook is overused as a citation; use primary peer-reviewed sources. Written expression Written expression is generally very good. Learning features Interwiki links could be added to make the text more interactive. Integrate a link to the chapter about compassion and empathy Layout is simple and clean (good). There is minimal use of images or tables. Spelling Use Australian spelling. Grammar and proofreading There are some minor grammar errors (e.g., see the tags) APA style Check and correct the APA style for figure captions. The reference list is not in full APA style.
