Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Prefrontal cortex and emotion

Comments

Hi! Your chapter is looking good. I especially like the quizzes. However, I suggest you add some 'core questions' which your chapter will answer (could be included in the overview). I also suggest you add some examples for your theories, so each theory is better understood in the context of your topic. Hope this helps! --U3082322 (discuss • contribs) 22:21, 23 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 11:35, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this is a very solid chapter. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is well covered. The Overview establishes the importance and scope of the topic. Perhaps consider evolutionary perspectives. The PG case study were helpful. Research Research is well cited. The Reeve (2015) textbook is over-used as a citation; preferably consult and cite primary, peer-reviewed sources. 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 Written expression is generally very good, with a tendency towards being overly wordy. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Strengthen the Conclusion - it should summarise the key points and provide take-home messages. Layout Add bullet-points for See also and External links (Excessive use of) coloured boxes was removed so as to aid accessibility/readability; strive for simple layout (e.g., as per Wikipedia articles) Tables and/or Figures are used effectively. Learning features The chapter makes excellent use of interwiki links. Interwiki links could be added (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and other Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive. Some links to Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity articles were added as external links - these should be changed to interwiki links Some links to Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity articles were added - these only need to be added on first mention of a keyword; use plain text for the keyword subsequently. The chapter provides an excellent range of relevant links to other Wikiversity pages. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are generally very good. APA style Check and correct the APA style formatting of in-text citations (e.g., comma before ampersand when there are three or more authors). The reference list is in excellent APA style.
