Comments[edit source]

Hello, It might be interesting to reference the emotional effects and side effection that various norepinephrinergic drugs have. That may give insight into what the neurotransmitter itself does There are generally three classes, here are some examples

Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor Reboxetine (antidepressant)

Norepinephrine Releasing Agent Ephedrine Phentermine (Weight loss aid) Cathinone

Hope that helps Arlo

Structure[edit source]

Avoid having a single sub-section within a section; either add another sub-section or merge the content into the higher level section. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a basic, minimalist chapter that doesn't satisfactorily address the question about what effects norepinephrine has on emotion.

  3. Feel free to make ongoing changes to the chapter if you wish to address any of these comments or make other improvements.

  2. In the Overview, also consider including focus questions or learning objectives.
  3. In the Overview, consider include an example or case study.
  4. The chapter doesn't explain the relationship between NE and emotion in sufficient detail.
  5. Examples or case studies would be helpful.

Research[edit source]

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression is generally OK, but lacks sufficient proofreading to be of professional standard.
    1. Some clarification templates have been added to the page.
  2. Structure and headings
    1. Each section should start with at least one introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
  3. Layout
    1. Add bullet-points for See also and External links.
    2. There is basic use of some images.
  4. Integration with other chapters

    2. Little integration with other chapters is evident.

    1. Add Interwiki links (to relevant Wikipedia articles) to make the text more interactive.
    2. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement.
  6. Grammar and proofreading
    1. The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient presentation.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. Overview
    1. Reasonable - perhaps could cut to the chase more quickly.
  2. Selection and organisation
    1. The simplicity of approach is good - makes it easy to understand.
    2. The most important content was spoken the end, with no visuals.
    3. Abbreviate the material in the slides and provide visuals to suppor the content at the end which actually answers the question.
    4. No citations or references?
  3. Conclusion
    1. A Conclusion slide summarising the take-home messages / key points could be helpful.

Communication[edit source]

  1. Audio
    1. Audio is clear and well-paced.
    2. Consider using greater intonation to enhance engagement.[1]
  2. Video
    1. Zoom in further to make figures easier to read.
    2. Slides/visuals are provided for preliminary content but not for the most important content which answers the question.

Production quality[edit source]

  1. Overall, basic production.
  2. Meta-data
    1. The title is correct (accurately reflects the book chapter).
    2. Add a link to the book chapter.
    3. 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).
  3. Image/video recording quality
    1. Sufficient
  4. Audio recording quality
    1. Good
  5. Licensing
