Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2016/Dyslexia and negative emotions

Comments

Hey, Your chapter looks great so far! I have attached links to a couple of journal articles that may offer a different perspective and are hopefully helpful. One article discusses the mediating role of emotional experience with family and the other is a case study of an adolescent boy with dyslexia. Good luck with finishing off your chapter :) http://www.teachermentoring.arizona.edu/documents/supporting_students_with_dyslexia_at_secondary_level_2007.pdf http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dys.1433/full --U3090066 (discuss • contribs) 19:29, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this is a strong chapter which incorporates a balanced, critical overview of relevant theory and research and makes reasonably effective use of the wiki environment. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is reasonably well covered. Abbreviate the general definitional and descriptive theory about dyslexia and link to more info e.g., the Wikipedia article about dyslexia, to allow a more detail focus on the negative emotion effects of dyslexia. Addition of case studies or additional examples could be helpful. Research Research is reasonably well covered, but key studies could be described in more detail 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. Written expression Written expression is generally very good. Write for an international, not just an Australian, audience. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Write in third person rather than first person (e.g., avoid "I', "we", "our", "your" etc.). Layout The chapter is well-structured. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively. Learning features The chapter makes some use of interwiki links to relevant Wikipedia articles - but doesn't link some of the more obvious terms e.g., dylexia! Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement. APA style Check and correct the APA style formatting of in-text citations. The reference list is not in full APA style.
