Good start on your overview. I can see where you are going with your book chapter. Would love to see your critique on the meaning of the saying 'Curiosity killed the cat'. --Lucy Hanrahan (discuss • contribs) 23:17, 1 September 2018 (UTC)Lucy Hanrahan Hi there!

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 is a rich, interesting, but somewhat "raw" chapter. The chapter probably goes beyond its scope and seems to run out of word count (e.g., there is no Conclusion), so consider more selectivity about what/how to include. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Many relevant theoretical elements are described and explained. The chapter could be improved by being more selective about which theory to cover. The chapter could be improved by providing a synthesis of theory (e.g., in a Conclusion). Research Relevant research is reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. The chapter could be improved by providing more integration of research and theory. The chapter could be improved by providing a synthesis of theory (e.g., in a Conclusion). When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression In general, the chapter is well-written. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Layout Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Learning features Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive. Very basic use of images. Basic use of tables. No use of feature boxes. No use of quizzes. Some use of examples. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the tags). APA style Use APA style for Figure captions. See example. Use APA style for Table captions. See example. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text. Reference formatting could be improved by being more consistent.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas 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 an promising presentation that makes effective use of simple tools. Structure and content Some coverage of theory. Lack of coverage of research. Good use of examples. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Communication The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to. Well paced. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read in the time provided. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. Production quality 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. Video recording quality was excellent. Audio recording included some background noise - review microphone set up. Consider muting the music during narration to help the viewer concentrate on the combination of visual information and narrated audio. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided. A link to the book chapter is not provided. A brief written description of the presentation is provided.
