Heading casing

[edit source]
FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

  1. Written expression is reasonably good, with room for improvement to bring it up to professional standard.
    1. Obtaining (earlier) comments on a chapter plan and/or chapter draft could have helped to improve the chapter.

  2. Structure and headings
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing
  3. Layout
    1. Add See also and External links.

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient presentation.
  1. Overview
    1. Sets up the problem to be solved (the question i.e., the subtitle for the book chapter) but could take more time to explain what AF is and what will be covered in this presentation.
  2. Selection and organisation
    1. Well selected content - possibly too much content is presented - be more selective - because it feels somewhat rushed. For example, work backwards from 3 take-home messages to work out what content needs to be presented - and then focus on only that which is essential to conveying these messages.
    2. Well structured.
    3. Theory rich; research poor.
    4. Partly addresses a self-help theme.
    5. Perhaps consider using more illustrative examples.
    6. Include citations and references.
  3. Conclusion
    1. Well summarised - but add take-home messages.
  1. Audio
    1. Well narrated.
    2. Audio is reasonably clear and well-paced (slightly too fast).
  2. Visuals
    1. Basic - approximately half a dozen text-based slides with some images.
    2. Consider including more images, figures, and/or tables.
    3. Visuals are clear and easy to read.
  1. Overall, basic, effective production.
  2. Meta-data
    1. Rename the title so that it includes the subtitle (and matches the book chapter).
    2. Link from book chapter to presentation not provided (a link has now been added).
    3. Link to the book chapter provided.
    4. Fill out the description field (e.g., brief description of presentation, license details, and possibly include references, image attributions, and/or transcript).
  3. Audio recording quality
    1. Reasonably good
    2. Consider using an external microphone to improve audio recording quality.
  4. Image/video recording quality
    1. Excellent
  5. Licensing
    1. A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the meta-data or the visual presentation).
    2. The stated license in the description doesn't match the selected youtube license.
    3. A copyright license for the presentation is correctly shown in at least one location. Standard YouTube License.
    4. A copyright license for the presentation is correctly shown in at least one location. Creative Commons.
    5. The copyright licenses and sources of the images used are not indicated - there may have been copyright violation unless you own the copyright to the images used.
