Editing tip - Linking to Wikipedia articles[edit source]

Thank-you for your contributions to Wikiversity! I hope you don't mind being offered a Wikiversity editing tip. Links to Wikipedia article should be made as internal rather than external links. For example, [[w:Pet|pet]] creates a link like this: pet to the Wikipedia pet article. This is preferred to an external link like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet or pet.

I hope this helps to further empower your Wikiversity contributions! -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:34, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

just one thing[edit source]

Hey, so I've had a chance to have a quick look over your chapter, it flows really well!

Just one pointer I have, which I'm sure you'll address through your editing it just to make sure your formatting is neat, i quickly edited it so the motivating the parent subheading flows into the next paragraph, plus one quick spelling change.

Good luck!! --Charlotte.C (discusscontribs) 14:14, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overall[edit source]

This is a very good presentation on an important and very relevant issue. Well done!

Structure and content[edit source]

The structure is very clear, with a logical flow throughout. Discussing adolescent males and females separately was very useful. Theories are integrated throughout. Research is also included, but is often not directly referred to. A good, succinct conclusion is provided. Some illustrative examples are used.

Communication[edit source]

Communication is a strength of this presentation. The voice-over is appropriately paced, with good expression and pauses where necessary. The slides are nicely put together, with a good amount of text included on each. Some images are used.

Production quality[edit source]

Basic production tools are used effectively in this presentation. The audio quality is generally good. There is some background sound in the microphone. Quality of visuals are good. The presentation has a professional feel. A link to the book chapter is provided. Copyright license information is provided.

Overall[edit source]

  1. This is a comprehensive, interesting, practical chapter and serves an excellent example. For more feedback, see my copyedits and comments below.

  3. Case studies provide excellent illustrations.
