Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2014/Sensation seeking and alcohol

Hi this topic sounds interesting, i was just recently doing an assignment on alcohol related issues and found that sensation seeking is a major influence on young adults motivation to drink and one of the main factors in engaging in drink driving. i thought it might be interesting for you to look into how sensation seeking and drinking can increase risk and harm especially in relation to drink driving. --Hynes08 (discuss • contribs) 03:25, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey, I'd love for us to incorporate some information in with each other. I think there's some correlation between our subjects

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site.

Overall A basic but sufficient presentation. Structure and content Theory is integrated throughout. Slightly deeper exploration of some would have been useful. Research is also addressed. The flow between ideas could be improved. Remember to include linking sentences, to facilitate transition from one idea to the next. Communication The voice-over is well paced, with good pauses between sentences and slides. Some images are included. Articulation of ideas is not always clear. Perhaps it would be useful to ask someone else to listen to your audio - it can be difficult to step back from your own work. An area for improvement could be to include more slides, as some are on the screen for extended periods of time. Production quality Basic production tools are used to form this presentation. The audio quality is adequate, but the volume is quite low and there is some 'fuzz'. The visuals are clear. No copyright license information is provided. A link back to the chapter is not provided.

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 06:47, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this is a solid chapter. For more feedback, see these copyedits and comments below. The Conclusion could be expanded - what are the key take-home messages? Theory Theory is well explained, particularly with regard to sensation seeking. There was no mention of sensation drinking and consumption of other drugs. Is this relationship between SS and alcohol use similar to that between SS and other drug use? Research Research coverage is reasonably good. "Correlate" is used on many #- ideally, explain in more detail what this means about the relationship. 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 reasonably good. Layout Several images are used; their size could be increased. Learning features A sensation seeking quiz is created; I'm not sure whether the copyright for this measure allows re-use? The chapter makes excellent use of interwiki links. The text could become more interactive by including interwiki links. Some links to Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity articles were added as external links - these should be changed to interwiki links Some links to Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity articles were added - these only need to be added on first mention of a keyword; use plain text for the keyword subsequently. The chapter provides an excellent range of relevant links to other Wikiversity pages. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize -> hypothesise) APA style The reference list is not in full APA style. Add APA style captions to the figures.
