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

Comments

Hey just wanted to suggest you can look at organisation or time management problems and the motivation to punctuality. Or maybe work related punctuality example: if am late i lost my job. Looking forward to read your chapter. All the best ~Iga.leszczynska

Hi, interesting topic! I noticed that you have punctuality motivation for different cultures, so I thought you could include some individual differences. Do people experience anxiety when they are running late so this motivates them to arrive on time? Why is that some people are always late? These people obviously don't have a lot of punctuality motivation. What are the differences between these people, is it upbringing or personality etc ? So perhaps looking at these individual differences will add to your chapter. U3100230 (discuss • contribs) 01:44, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Suggestions

Hello! What a fascinating topic you have chosen. I believe culture is a contributing factor to punctuality motivation. For example in tonga, it is very common for tongans to run late (island time) or never even show up. On the contrary, in western cultures time and punctuality are very important. If someone is repeatedly appearing late to their job in australia, they would likely get fired. However, in other cultures it is the norm.

According to one of the articles below, people are on time because they are expected to be. Thus, you can use the social learning theory to further explain this assumption and look into it further.

Goodluck and i look forward to reading this soon :) --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 07:06, 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 11:12, 23 October 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 solid chapter. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is well covered and explained with examples. Perhaps revisit the opening case study from the Overview in the Conclusion. 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. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Layout The chapter is well structured. Add bullet-points for See also and External links. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively. (Excessive use of) coloured boxes was removed so as to aid accessibility/readability; strive for simple layout (e.g., as per Wikipedia articles) Learning features Add Interwiki links (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and other Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Check and correct the use of abbreviations (such as "e.g.," and "i.e.,"). Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are excellent. APA style Put in-text citations in alphabetical order. Check and correct the use of "&" vs. "and" (Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets). 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)). 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 solid presentation. Structure and content The Overview set up the problem to be solved. Well structured. Theory was well covered; research, less so. Examples are used. A Conclusion slide summarising the take-home messages / key points could be helpful. Communication Audio is clear and well-paced. Varied intonation adds interest and engagement. Visuals are clear and easy to read. The combination of images and text is effective. Production quality Overall, well produced with simple tools. Rename the title so that it includes the subtitle (and matches the book chapter). Fill out the description field (e.g., brief description of presentation, link back to the book chapter, license details, and possibly include references, image attributions, and/or audio transcript). The copyright licenses for the images used is not indicated - there may have been copyright violation unless you own the copyright to the images used or these were public domain images. A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the description or in the presentation slides). No link is provided back to the book chapter.
