Comments[edit source]

Hi,

Your chapter is coming along nicely, just a suggestion perhaps you could discuss the implications anxiety due to not wanting to attend school has on student grades? --u3081348


Hey, your chapter look pretty good so far, i was just thinking maybe you could add some sub-headings to separate up the sections and make it easier for the reader to get to the section they want to look at. Good luck on finishing up !!

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==

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression

    2. Direct quotes are over-used and don't demonstrate any understanding by the author - create unique text.
    3. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    4. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    5. The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., see where clarification templates have been added to the page).
  2. Layout
    1. Add bullet-points for See also and External links.
