layout[edit source]

Hi, I noticed you hadn't started yet and thought I could save you a few minutes giving you the general layout of the chapter! Not knowing anything about the topic itself I can't really give any insight or advice unfortunately, but I did find a chapter on attributions and emotion

https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2013/Attributions_and_emotion#See_also. Looking forward to reading it!

Hi there, I am doing a topic similar to yours and I found that by looking at other and/or previous book chapters can really help format the assignment. https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2015/Neurobiology_of_romantic_love did an amazing job formatting and explaining different aspects that include arousal. Check it out. Good luck!

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==

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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a chapter which could be improved by being completed - it seems to be unfinished.
  2. Perhaps more importantly, though, the content provided doesn't address the topic - How do attributions influence experience of arousal?
  3. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Theory about attributions is inadequate and doesn't explain how they influence arousal.

Research[edit source]

  1. Many statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  2. The reviewed research is not related to the chapter topic.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., see where clarification templates have been added to the page).
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing
    2. Avoid sections with only one sub-section. A section should have no sub-sections or at least two sub-sections.
    3. Add bullet-points for See also and External links.
    4. The chapter is poorly structured.
  3. Learning features
    1. Add Interwiki links (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and other Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive.
    2. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement.
  4. APA style
    1. Add APA style captions to tables and figures.
    2. Check and correct the APA style for how to report numbers (Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10)).
    3. The reference list is not in full APA style.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this presentation doesn't address the topic.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. The presentation is about arousal, and the physiology of arousal, but not about attributions and arousal.

Communication[edit source]

  1. Check pronunciation of norepinephrine
  2. Audio is clear and well-paced.
  3. Basic, text-based visuals are used.
  4. Audio is not auto-synced to slides.

Production quality[edit source]

  1. Rename the title so that it includes the subtitle (and matches the book chapter).
  2. Fill out the description field (e.g., brief description of presentation, link back to the book chapter, license details, and possibly include references and image attributions).
  3. A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the description or in the presentation slides).
  4. No link is provided back to the book chapter.
