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==

Comments etc.[edit source]

Feel free to add any comments/discussions/feedback in this section. Thank you!

Hi, I would like to advise you that your references are not currently 100% APA style.
When including doi's the latest APA style begins the prefix with https://doi.org/ instead of the previously used 'doi:'
For example your first reference: Crawford, S.A. & Caltabiano, N.J. (2011). Promoting emotional well-being through the use of humour. The Journal of Positive Psychology, 6, 237-252. doi: https://doi-org.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/10.1080/17439760.2011.577087
Should be:
Crawford, S.A. & Caltabiano, N.J. (2011). Promoting emotional well-being through the use of humour. The Journal of Positive Psychology, 6, 237-252. https://doi.org/10.1080/17439760.2011.577087


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. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent; perfect

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Logical structure, which incorporates theory
  2. Avoid having only one subsection - use no subsections or at least two subsections

Key points[edit source]

  1. Overview - consider including one or more case studies or examples that perhaps illustrate effective and ineffective use of humour for emotional regulation
  2. As well as positive vs. negative, it may be helpful to distinguish between self-directed vs. other-directed humour
  3. Conclusion - any ideas about what the take-home messages are likely to be? This will be arguably the most important section.

Image[edit source]

  1. Well done on uploading a self-created image
  2. Current display of figure 1 is probably too small to easily read - consider centring horizontally and increasing size

References[edit source]

  1. Several relevant references identified - but keep searching because I think there's more that could be useful e.g., https://www.google.com.au/search?q=how+to+use+humor+to+regulate+emotion
  2. Use APA style

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also - use more topic-specific links e.g., to emotional regulation rather than emotion etc.
  2. Excellent - maybe also indicate in brackets what type of resource is being linked to - e.g., TEDtalk video etc.

Table caption capitalisation[edit source]

Check APA style for table caption capitalisation - e.g., http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/tables-and-figures/ Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:47, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]


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.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a solid, competent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon.
  2. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. Consider integrating and making stronger connections with chapters and work about smiling, laughter, and emotion. These are likely related, overlapping concepts.

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Use third person perspective, rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").
  2. Layout
    1. Avoid having sections with only one sub-section.
    2. See earlier comments about heading casing.
    3. Use the default Wikiversity heading styles.
  3. Learning features
    1. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    2. Basic use of images.
    3. Basic use of tables.
    4. Good use of quizzes.
    5. Good use of case studies or examples.
  4. Citations
    1. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    2. References are not in full APA style e.g.,
      1. Add spaces between author initials.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a basic presentation.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. Overall, too much detail is presented too fast. A higher level overview would be better.
  2. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion).
  3. A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s).

Communication[edit source]

  1. The presentation makes basic use of text based slides with narrated audio.
  2. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
  3. Set up focus questions and be more selective about what to present.
  4. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images.

Production quality[edit source]

  1. The presentation is over the maximum time limit.
  2. The full chapter title and sub-title are used in the video title - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  3. The full chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  4. Audio and video recording quality were very good.
  5. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.
  6. A link to and from the book chapter is provided.
