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 04:23, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Overall For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Feel free to make ongoing changes to the chapter if you wish to address any of these comments or make other improvements. Overall, this is a solid chapter which could be improved by providing more detail about the cited research. The chapter is under the maximum word count. Theory Overview Explain why the topic is important (e.g., consider prevalence). Includes focus questions. Consider including an example or case study. Body Examples or case studies would be helpful. Well-selected, critical focus on a range of relevant theories. Consider of other motivational theories could be useful (e.g., Self Determination Theory) Well integrated discussion of theory and research, although some of the claims lacked sufficient citations. To what extent are the motivational effects of chemotherapy short-term (i.e., when treatment is ceased, to what extent does motivation return?). Conclusion Reasonably solid; could be improved by providing some more concrete, take-home, self-help messages. Research Several useful/relevant studies are cited, but they could be explained in more detail. Was the (Skinner, 1953) source directly consulted? If not, don't cite it (or use a secondary citation). Some statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the method. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Consider possibly reporting on meta-analytic findings. Written expression Written expression is generally good. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., above, below, as previously mentioned). Some clarification templates have been added to the page. Obtaining (earlier) comments on a chapter plan and/or chapter draft could have helped to improve the chapter. Some paragraphs are overly long. Paragraphs should communicate a single key idea in about three to five sentences. Some sentences are overly long. Some of the bullet-points should be rewritten into full paragraph format. Structure and headings See earlier comments about heading casing Each section should start with at least one introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections. Layout There is minimal use of images or tables. Integration with other chapters Learning features Excellent use of interwiki links to relevant Wikipedia articles. Quiz questions are used in a basic way to encourage reader engagement. Grammar and proofreading The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals'). Check and correct use of commas (e.g., "For example" -> "For example, "). APA style The reference list is not in full APA style.

Overall Overall, this is a simple, effective presentation. Structure and content Overview Clear, but brief. An example could help to set the scene and engage the viewer. Selection and organisation Well selected content - not too much or too little - has some good points that could have been included in the book chapter. Theory rich; research poor. Somewhat addresses a self-help theme. Citations and references are included. Conclusion Take-home messages / key points are well summarised. Communication Audio Audio is reasonably clear and well-paced. Consider using greater intonation to enhance engagement.[1] Visuals Basic - approximately half a dozen text-based slides with some images. Clear and easy to read. Production quality Overall, basic, effective production. Meta-data Rename the title so that it includes the title (and matches the book chapter). Link to and from the book chapter provided. Good use of the Description field to provide relevant information. Audio recording quality Reasonable Image/video recording quality Effective use of simple tools.
