Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2017/Multi-tasking motivation

Comments

Hi Holly!

What a great topic - I did a quick University Database search and found this expansive review into motivational tendencies to multi-task:

Sanbonmatsu, D. M., Strayer, D. L., Medeiros-Ward, N., & Watson, J. M. (2013). Who multi-tasks and why? multi-tasking ability, perceived multi-tasking ability, impulsivity, and sensation seeking. PloS One, 8(1), e54402. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0054402

Hope it helps with your book chapter!

Following on from this I noticed that you had the book chapter template in your user profile I moved this to the book chapter; Multitasking so you can access it there. I also left

the original copy on your user page if you wanted to delete that, --U3144362 (discuss • contribs) 06:01, 30 August 2017 (UTC) u3144362 4:01PM

Hi Jane! Thanks so much for this and all your help! I have moved the template onto my multitasking page now! --Holly Kingham (discuss • contribs) 10:59, 2 September 2017 (UTC)User?:u3142859

Hey Holly! I noticed that your references were not indented so I provided you a hanging indent template. From now on, any references you have just paste them into the template and they will automatically be indented as APA requires. Keep up the good work! --U3133258 (discuss • contribs) 16:20, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello Holly, this chapter topic sounds really interested and I'd be super interested to read the final product! I found a useful study that you might like to include in your book chapter regarding the different media based multi-tasking. Hope it helps- https://ac-els-cdn-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/S0747563214002520/1-s2.0-S0747563214002520-main.pdf?_tid=6d1ca888-b62d-11e7-9eb8-00000aacb361&acdnat=1508569368_46d51c69e519d95bf0de3d254e65ae83 AnnetaJ (discuss • contribs) 07:04, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Topic development review and feedback

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks will be available later via Moodle. Keep an eye on Announcements. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title, sub-title, TOC Very good Layout tweaked to be consistent with book style User page Created Used effectively Social contribution One basic/trivial contribution made - needs to be summarised rather than pasted with direct links to evidence The best links go to direct evidence of the contributions made. View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see the book chapter author guidelines. Section headings Basic, 2-level heading structure - emphasis on an applications which is great for reader engagement and practical tips - but also remember that 2/3 of the marking criteria is about an integrative summary of the best available psychological theory and research about this phenemonon e.g., maybe use something like the "Motivation(s) to multi-task" as the first top-level heading after the Overview. Definitions/types probably doesn't need its own heading - can be covered within the Overview or an introductory paragraph to motivations for multi-taking. In this way, at least some the second level headings in the section "Multi-Tasking" could be potentially become top-level headings (to avoid having too many sub-headings within a section - 7 is probably too many). Key points Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles. Consider including more examples/case studies. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end. Image One image embedded Consider increasing image size from default Consider enhancing figure captions to help connect the image more strongly to key points being made in the text No need for citation in the caption - clicking on the image will provide full meta-data References Good. For full APA style: Use spaces between author initials Use correct italicisation Use the new recommended format for dois - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.html Resources See also Use internal linking style Rename the links Put more info in brackets after the links External links Rename the links Put more info in brackets after the links

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this chapter contained promising content, but was let down by attention to detail. For additional feedback, see these copyedits. Theory Some useful theory was considered, but there was a lack of overall integration. There was a good balance of consideration between pros and cons of multi-tasking. No take-home messages were provided. The Overview and Conclusion needed more development to be really clear and useful summaries. The Reeve (2015) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources. Research Several useful research studies are mentioned; these could be considered in more detail. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression lacked polish and professionalism Some of the bullet-points should have been in full paragraph format. Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses. Use abbreviations sparingly. Do not use abbreviations for minor terms that aren't used very much in the chapter. Learning features Adding interwiki links would make the text more interactive. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links, for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles. Limited use of images, tables, quizzes, case studies etc. Spelling, grammar and proofreading More proofreading is needed to eliminate spelling and grammar errors Be consistent - multi-tasking vs. multitasking Check and correct tense (e.g., for past research "will" -> "would") The grammar for some sentences could be improved - see the tags Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes e.g., individuals -> individual's APA style Citations need a comma before & for citations involving three or more authors do not use a comma before et al. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10) Provide more detailed Figure captions References are not in full APA style e.g., Add spaces between author initials See new doi format

Multimedia feedback

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 presentation with an audio narrative summary, but no visual communication aids (other than webcam). Structure and content Well selected content in terms of research coverage and the main motivators of multi-tasking. Add a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Add an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Consider adding some examples. Communication Audio was clear and easy to follow. Visual communication was limited - the use of webcam is somewhat engaging, but provides much less educative value than accompanying visual information such as text, diagrams, images etc. to accompanying the audio. Production quality The presentation is well under the maximum time limit. Use the full chapter title and sub-title on the opening slide and in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio and video recording quality is very good.
