Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Theory[edit source]

  1. Define/describe flow.
  2. There is little mention of neurophysiological dimensions of flow (e.g., endorphins).
  3. The Conclusion should offer more concrete, take-home messages.
  4. A wider range of runner's high exercises could be suggested.

Research[edit source]

  1. Research coverage in this chapter about running and flow is somewhat limited; ideally, add more information about relevant studies.
  2. Integrate key research findings into the chapter earlier. The methodological introduction to the research section could be truncated.
  3. Some statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  4. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.

    2. Some Figures were used.
  3. Learning features

  5. Grammar and proofreading
    1. The grammar of some sentences need to be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
    2. Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals')
    3. Check formatting of abbreviations such as "e.g." and "i.e."
    4. et al -> et al.
  6. APA style
    1. Check/correct APA style for direct quotes
    2. Apply APA style captions to figures and tables.
    3. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10)
    4. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    5. The reference list is not in full APA style.
