Overall Overall, this is a solid chapter which could be improved by paying greater attention to the quality of written expression. 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. Theory It would be helpful to distinguish Dweck's mindsets from other theoretical conceptualisations of mindsets (e.g., the ones described in Reeve (2015). The growth vs. fixed mindset is well explained. The Overview and Conclusion are clear and focused to theory and research and the book theme. Table 1 is a helpful summary. The case study(ies) and/or examples is(are) helpful. Research A good range of studies are cited, but the results for some 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 reasonable but could be significantly improved in many places. Obtaining (earlier) comments on a chapter plan and/or chapter draft could have helped to improve the chapter. Write in third person rather than first person (e.g., avoid "I', "we", "our", "your" etc.). The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., see where clarification templates such as , , , and may have been added to the page). The chapter successfully addresses the topic and book theme. Structure and headings Avoid sections with only one sub-section. A section should have no sub-sections or at least two sub-sections. Layout No images and 1 tables was used - the chapter could be improved by adding more images. Integration with other chapters No integration with other chapters is evident . Learning features Add Interwiki links (to relevant Wikipedia articles) to make the text more interactive. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Spelling Spelling could be improved - see the tags. Grammar and proofreading The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). APA style Use APA style for table and figure captions. Check and correct the APA style formatting of in-text citations. When there are three or more authors, subsequent citations should use et al. (e.g., Smith, Bush and Western (2001) first and and then Smith et al. (2001) subsequently). 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.

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 basic, but sufficient presentation. Structure and content Overview Overview sets up the problem to be solved. Tell the listener what they will find out about if they watch this presentation. Selection and organisation Basic coverage of theory and research. Include key citations and references. Conclusion OK, but summarise the take-home messages / key points could be helpful. Communication Audio Audio is well-paced, with good intonation. Image/Video Visuals are minimal, basic, and text-based. Production quality Overall, basic production. Meta-data Well titled. Add a link to 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 transcript). Audio recording quality Poor due to distortion and low volume. Consider using an external microphone to improve audio recording quality. Image/video recording quality Effective use of simple tools. Licensing A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the meta-data or the visual presentation).
