Feedback[edit source]

Hey, As an idea for what motivates white collar crime some demographic connections could be really interesting to talk about. Two that come to my mind are whether having a family (e.g. dependent children) and the socio-economic status that a person grew up in would be risk factors. The family could produce a motivation to provide for the family (and would generally increase a person's costs) and socio-economic status could lead to particular wealth expectations. Goodluck! --Liam C (discusscontribs) 12:37, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]


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[edit source]

  1. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Created
  2. Excellent; used effectively

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Summaries OK, but links do not go to direct evidence - see guidelines - the best way is to view the page history, compare the version before and after your changes, and use this website address as the direct link to evidence of your contribution

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Excellent draft structure - appropriate number/range of top and secondary level headings, with meaningful titles
  2. A section should contain either 0 or 2+ sub-sections - avoid having sections which contain 1 sub-section.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Limited coverage - key points not provided for all sections
  2. Make sure to cover the three key marking criteria: theory, research, and written expression including interactive elements such as e.g., interwiki links, examples/case studies, images, quiz questions etc.?

Image[edit source]

  1. Well used
  2. Consider expanding the captions to provide more detail which helps to communicate key points being made in the text

References[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. 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
  3. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a good chapter. The key strength is the emphasis on theory.
  2. For additional feedback, see these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. The Overview could be improved by providing greater clarity e.g., what is WCC? Example? Case study? Image? etc.
  2. How can WCC have occurred throughout evolution, before white collars, money etc. had evolved? (Example of lack of clarity/precision).
  3. The restorative justice suggestion is a good one, but pops out of nowhere?
  4. Otherwise, a wide range of relevant theories are reasonably well described and explained.
  5. Perhaps consider adding more examples or a case study to help illustrate the theoretical ideas presented.

Research[edit source]

  1. Sufficient coverage of research involving the relation between the target constructs is provided, but to improve, perhaps less on theory and more about research would provide for a more balanced chapter.
  2. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    2. Some sentences are unnecessarily wordy - strive for the simplest expression of the point being made.
  2. Layout
    1. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
    2. Otherwise, the chapter was well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Learning features
    1. Some Interwiki links are used; more could be added to make the text more interactive.
    2. Reasonable use of images.
    3. Effective use of a table.
    4. Effective use of a quizzes.
    5. No use of case studies.
  4. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading
    1. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect
    2. Spelling can be improved - e.g., see the [spelling?] tags.
    3. The grammar for some sentences could be improved - e.g., see the [grammar?] tags.
    4. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
    5. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes e.g., individuals -> individual's
  5. APA style
    1. Citations
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
      2. et al. should have a full stop at the end and should not have a comma before
      3. In-text citations should be in alphabetical order
      4. A comma is needed before "&" for citations involving three or more authors
      5. 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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a reasonably good presentation. Many of the comments about the book chapter also apply to this presentation.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. Well structured content - perhaps too much content, though, as the presentation is over the max. time limit.
  2. Add and narrate an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
  3. The presentation is strengthened by the Concluding take-home messages slide, although this is somewhat brief (even though it is arguably the most important part of a presentation).
  4. The presentation is theory-heavy, with limited coverage of theory or case study examples.

Communication[edit source]

  1. The presentation is easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to.
  2. Audio communication, but probably slightly too fast - consider slowing down and being more selective about what to present.
  3. Visual presentation is excellent.

Production quality[edit source]

  1. The presentation is over the maximum time limit.
  2. Audio recording quality was a bit distant - review microphone set up.
  3. 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.
