Comments[edit source]

Leadership is a very interesting area that has a lot of theory attached to it! You could also look at including whether leaders are born (trait leadership) or whether leadership is a skill that can be taught (situational leadership), as this is still debated on today. Good job :) --U3081677 (discusscontribs) 10:22, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Neeti, not sure if you are aware but I can't access your page because it only comes up with the chapters titles. I had this also because I set up my page initially in my username page instead of the book chapter page. I may be wrong of course because I'm struggling with all this myself and you most probably know what you're doing. Or you simply haven't filled in those paragraphs of your chapter yet. May be the case considering I can read your overview. But just in case, you will have to copy it across to the book chapter page from your user name page (if that makes sense, which it probably doesn't lol). To test what I'm talking about, once you are finished, click on your topic from the list and see if the text comes up without you clicking edit. If it does, you're on the right track. Aside from that (hope I haven't confused you) the topic is really interesting, especially for me as I was in a leadership role with my last job, so I'm keen to see what you come up with :) --David M&E7124 (discusscontribs) 1407, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

I have no problems viewing your page :) I think it would be a good idea to add real life practical examples to the MtL table. I also think where you discuss if motivation stays the same across different areas you could add something about if it stays the same across a lifetime i.e. childhood and late adulthood, in school or the nursing home etc. Looks good otherwise! u3100080

Hey Girl :) firstly, love the picture at the start of your chapter, its really engaging. Your overview is great - So clear and concise and makes the reader want to know whats in the rest of the chapter. For yours images (e.g. the questions relating to MTL), you just need to put figure X. before the caption to make it APA. The rest is amazing. everything is written concisely and the tables and examples you have used are really engaging. Also, your conclusion is spot on, really wraps up the chapter effectively :) GREAT WORK !!!! (3083783ro (discusscontribs) 02:33, 30 October 2015 (UTC)=3083783ro)[reply]

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a fantastic chapter which makes effective use of the wiki environment and provides an integrated, indepth, but very readable synthesis of psychological theory and research on the topic.
  2. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Theory is very well selected, explained, and covered.
  2. The examples of MtL were very helpful.

Research[edit source]

  1. Research is well described and integrated with theory.
  2. The Reeve (2015) textbook is over-used as a citation (as is Burton, Westen, & Kowalski etc.); preferably consult and cite primary, peer-reviewed sources.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression is excellent.
  2. The Overview is clear and well-written, but could also outline the key theories and research to be covered.
  3. The Conclusion is excellent and includes several concrete, take-home messages.
  4. Layout
    1. Remove manual paragraph indents; use default wiki paragraph style.
    2. Add bullet-points for See also and External links.
    3. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively.
  5. Learning features
    1. Some links to Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity articles were added as external links - these should be changed to interwiki links
    2. Add more Interwiki links (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and other Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive.
    3. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement.
  6. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are excellent.
  7. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. The APA style for the reference list is very good; remove issue numbers for seriated journals.
