Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Infanticide motivation

Comments

Hi! It might be useful to refer to the treatment of infanticide within the law. The following source is the Crimes Act for infanticide in NSW: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/ca190082/s22a.html --U3082322 (discuss • contribs) 23:24, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I am doing Filicide motivation so if you are interested in seeing what I have done here is the link to my book chapter https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2015/Filicide_motivation I have found it useful to include specific cases in order to display each type of filicide motivation in a real-life scenario. http://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=af5e80fb-d485-4a1e-9bfd-1c418a029f42%40sessionmgr4003&vid=6&hid=4106 This is a good article which covers some of the laws around infanticide and neonaticide and whether they are 'fair' or not. It also dips into hormonal changes in the mother and what effect that may have on her harming the baby. Good luck! Tigeralee (discuss • contribs) 06:16, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

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 13:19, 29 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 very good chapter which makes good use of the wiki environment and provides an integrated, readable discussion of psychological theory and research on the topic. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is well explored and applied to the topic. The case studies were helpful. Research Research is well described and integrated with theory. 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. Written expression The chapter was well written and interesting to read. Layout Use default heading styles; remove bold Add bullet-points for See also and External links. The chapter is well-structured. There was minimal use of Tables and Figures. Reduce (excessive) use of coloured boxes so as to aid accessibility/readability; strive for simple layout (e.g., as per Wikipedia articles) Learning features Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. APA style Check and correct APA style captions for tables and figures. 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 a basic, but sufficient presentation. Structure and content The main problem with the structure/content is that the presentation focuses on two aspects of the broader topic, and thus doesn't succeed in providing a 3 min overview of the topic and what psychological theory and research indicates about the topic (e.g., before discussing altruistic killing and evolutionary theory, give an overview of the prevalence and major motivation explanations). Include citations with evidence for claims. Consider including a Title slide and Conclusion slide summarising the take-home messages. Communication Audio is clear and well-paced. Varied intonation adds interest and engagement. Video of presenter enhances engagement, but it also means that some potentially useful text- or diagram-based information isn't presented. Production quality I loved the way the book chapter and extra info links were presented - but they are not clickable? Rename the title so that it includes the subtitle (and matches the book chapter). Description is minimal (e.g., also include brief description of presentation, link back to the book chapter, license details, and/or transcript). A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the description or in the presentation slides).
