Comments[edit source]

Hey! just edited a few things. First, just made the title of figure 1 not italic. Second, I just bolded the reference in figure 2 just to draw your attention to the fact that you don't need to reference it as the image has those details, third, added another quiz question based on your information :) looking good! --MaddieCarleton (discusscontribs) 05:29, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

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 the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. 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. Title and sub-title weren't provided - now added

User page[edit source]

  1. Good

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Link doesn't go directly to evidence of contribution
  2. See suggestions for how to record social contributions

Section headings[edit source]

  1. OK, but room for improvement.
  2. Avoid having sections with only one subsection - either have no subsections or two or more subsections
  3. The most important section is "Emotions and the Autonomic Nervous System". The prior sections could be summarised and condensed, with links to more info in other Wikiversity/Wikipedia pages, to allow this chapter to focus primarily on its key question.
  4. Change "Final comments" to "Conclusion"

Key points[edit source]

  1. Plenty of notes here about the ANS. But the challenge will be to summarise these very briefly, pointing out to other locations for further info, and concentrating this chapter on the ANS and emotion.
  2. Conclusion - expand
  3. Overview - learning outcomes need to include the most important question - What role does the ANS play in the experience of emotion?

Image[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. Use APA style for captions

References[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. Use APA style
  3. For latest APA style recommended format for dois see http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html
