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==

Hi there, I changed the size of your image s we can read it now :) I really like the likert scale! super fun! If I could make one critique it would be that the how can we use eustress section is quite dense, could you possibly break it up into subheadings? I'll check your page again later in the week when you've added more :) U3100080 (discuss • contribs) 03:20, 29 October 2015 (UTC)u3100080[reply]

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an excellent all-round chapter which could be improved by closer attention to some of the written expression.
  2. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below

Theory[edit source]

  1. Theory is well explained and considered, with lots of practical tips and suggestions.

Research[edit source]

  1. Research is well reviewed.
  2. Some statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  3. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression is generally very good.
    1. Add bullet-points for See also and External links.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. Avoid sections with only one sub-section. A section should have no sub-sections or at least two sub-sections.
    2. Otherwise, the chapter is well-structured.
    3. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively.
  3. Learning features
    1. The chapter makes some use of interwiki links to relevant Wikipedia articles and related book chapters.
    2. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement.
  4. Grammar and proofreading
    1. The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. "that" is missing from several sentences - some have been added (see my copyedits) and some have been flagged with [grammar?]
  5. APA style
    1. The reference list is not in full APA style.
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    3. Check and correct the use of "&" vs. "and" (Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets).
    4. Add APA style captions to tables and figures.
    5. Check and correct in-text citation formatting of "et al."

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a solid presentation.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. The opening example (e.g., running late) doesn't really convey eustress - could also be distress?
  2. It took me some time to make sense of the Yerkes-Dodson figure (that the slides were plotted onto the curvey) - it might be better to use the original diagram.
  3. Theory coverage was reasonable, although eustress could be more clearly explained as could strategies for increasing eustress.

was well covered.

Communication[edit source]

  1. Audio is clear and well-paced.
  2. Visuals are somewhat text-dense (not easy to read and listen simulateously).

Production quality[edit source]

  1. Overall, well produced using basic tools.
  2. Rename the title so that it includes the subtitle (and matches the book chapter).
  3. Description is minimal but sufficient.
  4. The copyright licenses and sources for the images used is not indicated - there may have been copyright violation unless you own the copyright to the images used or these were public domain images.
  5. A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the description or in the presentation slides).
