Overall[edit source]

Theory[edit source]

  1. Theory is well covered, with several useful examples.

Research[edit source]

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., see where clarification templates have been added to the page).
    2. Avoid sections with only one sub-section. A section should have no sub-sections or at least two sub-sections.
    3. Use gender-neutral language (e.g., man-made -> human-made)

    2. Add bullet-points for See also and External links

    4. Add APA style captions to all images.
    5. Consider expanding the size of some images.
  3. Learning features
    1. The chapter some use of interwiki links to relevant Wikipedia articles - more could be added - also incorporate links to other book chapters.
  4. Grammar and proofreading
    1. Check and correct capitalisation (e.g., section headings)
    2. Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals')
    3. The grammar of some sentences needs to be improved for the written expression to be of professional standard (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
  5. APA style
    1. Add APA style captions to tables and figures.
    2. Check and correct the APA style formatting of in-text citations.
    3. 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)).
    4. The reference list is not in full APA style.
