Topic and Image to Include

Hi, I can see that you haven't put anything up yet but I would suggest also including a section about whether facial expressions of emotion are universal across cultures? and to also include an image of different facial expressions as well, so that the reader can see what you might be talking about e.g. the usual expression for anger, sadness and joy. This is a good article to start with: https://www.uni-muenster.de/imperia/md/content/psyifp/aeechterhoff/wintersemester2011-12/vorlesungkommperskonflikt/ekman_friesen_constantsemofacialexpr_jpsp1971.pdf

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener. If you wish to dispute the marks, see the suggested marking dispute process.

Overall A good presentation. Well done. Structure and content The structure is clear and the flow is generally good. Theory is a primary focus of this presentation, given that the topic itself is based around a theory. Research is less of a focus. A conclusion is provided verbally, but this is not supported by a clear slide. Communication The voice-over is well paced, with good pauses between sentences and slides. There is limited fluidity in areas - perhaps a few more rehearsals would have been useful. The slides present important information. Some more slides could be included, as some are used for extended periods of time. This would help to make the presentation more engaging. More images or figures could also be useful. Production quality Basic production tools are used. The audio quality is quite poor, with fuzz and echo. The quality of visuals is good. A link to the book chapter is provided.

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a solid chapter. Theory is reasonably well covered; more research could be covered. For more feedback, see these copyedits and comments below. Theory Theory is reasonably well covered. More could perhaps be said about evolutionary explanations for facial actions. More perhaps could be said from a biological perspective (e.g., mirror neurons) Research Early research (e.g,. about universality of emotions) is covered. More recent about emotion recognition and applications using FACS could be provided. 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. The Reeve (2009) quote is too long; rewrite Some text appears to be plagiarised (e.g., "The muscular basis of each AU is given in words and diagrams. Detailed description of the appearance changes are keyed to illustrative still photograph and film examples...") Bullet-points may be overused. Layout Tables and/or Figures were used effectively. Coloured boxes were removed to aid readability; keep the style simple (e.g., as per Wikipedia articles) Learning features The text could become more interactive by including interwiki links. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize -> hypothesise) Grammar and proofreading Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals') Use abbreviations such as "e.g." inside brackets and "for example" outside brackets APA style is excellent. Remove issue numbers for seriated journal references.
