Feedback

Hey! Your links throughout the book chapter are great for getting further information. I've just made some adjustments to your headings as only the first word is supposed to be capitalized. I would just suggest putting some other links for other book chapters from the previous years? Your structure makes reading the information easy to follow. Other than that, great work! --U3096825 (discuss • contribs) 12:44, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Might be useful to include some statistics on exercise behavior in Australia, This link has a good description of the current state of physical activity in Australia http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/content/health-pubhlth-strateg-phys-act-guidelines.

Im going to assume you have an extension or something, but a suggestion from a similar topic would be to start biologically and basic, then expand into effects of exercise has on the person mentally, then progress into practical examples. Just in case your having trouble getting your head around it :).

Hi,

I've come across this study that i think will be great for those of us doing exercise motivation. I've only read the summary but the general idea should be applicable.

Have a look.

Hi,

Just thinking you could talk about motivation that is reinforced by the absence of a negative symptoms. For instance if a person exercises to to relieve stress their motivation would be fueled by the absence of stress. I did an assignment on anxiety and exercise for a previous unit, here are some useful articles I used from that assignment.

Moshier, S., Hearon, B., Calkins, A., Szuhany, K., Utschig, A., Smits, J., & Otto, M. (2012). Clarifying the Link Between Distress Intolerance and Exercise: Elevated Anxiety Sensitivity Predicts Less Vigorous Exercise. Cognitive Therapy And Research, 37(3), 476-482. doi:10.1007/s10608-012-9489-9

hope that helps!

Suggestions

Hello! Your topic is very interesting and you write really well. I would suggest you add in a few pictures to break up the content and make it visually appealing. I think incorporating a quiz would also be a cool idea. And if you had enough words, I would highly recommend you writing a bit on the Australian's governments health initiative and the obesity crisis plaguing our nation. Information such as this would really reinforce the importance of exercise to maintain a long and healthy life. At the send in your external links section you could include government initiative plans to tackle obesity and support exercise (the two links below). http://www.healthyactive.gov.au http://health.gov.au/internet/anpha/publishing.nsf/Content/obesity-home Anyway, best of luck and I look forward to reading this chapter soon :) --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 07:38, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I read through your book chapter and it is a very interesting topic. I really liked the idea of adding the quiz at the end to help people really understand some big points throughout your research. As I was reading I was wondering to myself what motivates me to work out? I work out 5-6 days out of the week with a work out buddy, and having a buddy to hold me accountable is really helpful. I wanted to look more into if I was motivated enough so I found a survey online to see. I found it interesting and thought it might give you ideas to create a survey or add points if needed. Here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=x433Jb6RFLIlTKrILxWJCA%3D%3D Hope this helps.

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 20:27, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

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 Overall, this is a promising chapter which could be improved by a more disciplined focus on the topic - the material is broader than required and much of it lacks obvious/specific relationship to the effects of exercise on motivation. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory The initial focus questions could be open-ended rather than closed-ended (yes/no). More importantly, they do not seem to target the topic (PE effects on motivation). The Conclusion should return to the focus questions. Much of the initial material could be abbreviated because it does address the chapter topic. Greater integration with previous book chapters (which have covered related topics) should be added. Examples or case studies could be helpful. The Conclusion could provide a stronger summary. Some take-home messages could be helpful. Research Several very useful/relevant research studies are described. When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the sample and possibly cultural context. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Some statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Written expression Written expression is generally reasonably good. Avoid sections with only one sub-section. A section should have no sub-sections or at least two sub-sections. The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., see where clarification templates have been added to the page). Avoid directional referencing (e.g., above, below, as previously mentioned) Layout The chapter is well-structured, although the focus is too broad (broader than the question). Some images are used, but the chapter could be improved by adding more images. Learning features The chapter makes some use of interwiki links, but more could be added, particularly to other book chapters. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Grammar and proofreading The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Use abbreviations such as "e.g." inside brackets and "for example" outside brackets APA style Check and correct the use of "&" vs. "and" (Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets). The reference list is not in full APA style.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is an OK presentation, but it could be improved by providing a stronger focus on the original question. Structure and content Only a relatively small portion of the presentation is about the target topic - what is the effect of exercise on motivation. Communication Audio is clear and well-paced. Visuals are clear and easy to read. Production quality Overall, well produced using simple tools. Rename the title so that it is more accurate (per the book chapter). Fill out the description field (e.g., brief description of presentation, license details, link back to chapter). The copyright license and source for the images used is not indicated - there may have been copyright violation. A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (e.g., in the description or in the presentation slides).
