Comments[edit source]

Hey, your topic for the book chapter sounds really intriguing! I found this article in the UC Library based on Let it be and keep on going! Acceptance and daily occupational well-being in relation to negative work events. http://dx.doi.org.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/10.1037/a0040149 I hope you find it useful! --(UTC)--Reet josan (discusscontribs) 09:14, 2 September 2018 (UTC)'Reet josan[reply]

Hey Diksha, your chapter looks great but I would suggest to include some sub-headings just to make it flow throughout the chapter and it will make the reader understand the chapter well. --(UTC)--Reet josan (discusscontribs) 03:30, 21 October 2018 (UTC)'Reet josan[reply]

Hi Diksha, great work on the book chapter, it is very well constructed and informative, and a relevant topic as i know many people who have experienced negative emotion in the work place, I just noticed at the end that a few of your references did not have italics and some are not in alphabetical order. Minimal errors, but could save you a few points when it comes to marking.

Title, sub-title, TOC[edit source]

  1. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Good

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. Link doesn't go directly to evidence of contribution (it should be easy to see the changes you made at first glance, without any searching)

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Effective 2-level structure - not too little or not too much - and focused on the topic
  2. Headings 4 and 5 could be merged (are they different?)

Key points[edit source]

  1. Very well developed
  2. Overview - consider adding one or more case studies or examples to help engage reader interest
  3. Check grammar - getting professional or peer assistance with proofreading/copyediting is advised.

Image[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. Use APA style for captions
  3. Expand figure caption to explain how it relates to one or more key points in the text

References[edit source]

  1. OK
  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
  4. Some of the proposed references would probably belong better as External links (e.g. if they are not academic sources).

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also - no internal links to other Wikiversity book chapters or Wikipedia articles provided
  2. External links - need to provide better link naming and descriptions in brackets
    1. Use external links
    2. Include info about source/destination in brackets after the hyperlink - see example

Breaks as a solution for workplace stress[edit source]

Hi Diksha, I noticed you're writing about stress and anxiety as negative emotions in the workplace. I did a quick search and found three articles about taking breaks during the workday as a means to counteract stress and anxiety. Hopefully you find these helpful for your 'Ways to respond to negative emotion' section. Links: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2015.11.056, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.orgdyn.2013.07.005, and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvb.2014.08.005 I also did a quick scan over the chapter and cleaned up some grammar, punctuation, etc. --U3122470 (discusscontribs) 10:00, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

feedback and changes made to chapter[edit source]

Hi diksha I've enjoyed reading over your chapter and made some edits (grammar, hyperlinks, minor changes + added some links in see also) and also have some feedback. Your overview could be improved by adding extra detail such as an outline of what will be covered in the chapter (e.g. theory, examples, etc.) Adding some practical examples to certain sections (e.g. Background of workplace emotions, emotional labor, management of emotions, job insecurity) for your conclusion, summarise the important concepts covered throughout the book chapter, and potentially provide some practical examples of how the research is useful practically. (added some suggestions in conclusion)

Hope this feedback is timely and helpful for you in completing your book chapter !!

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

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 promising chapter, but the quality of written expression is poor.
  2. The focus questions in the Overview should be tailored to the topic.
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.

Research[edit source]

  1. Many statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  2. Some relevant research is discussed in relation to theory, but more detail would be ideal.
  3. 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[edit source]

  1. Written expression is poor.
    1. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    3. Some of the bullet-points should have been in full paragraph format.
    4. Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
    2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    2. Add links to other related book chapters.
    3. Basic use of images.
    4. No use of tables.
    5. Basic use of feature boxes.
    6. No use of quizzes.
    7. No use of case studies or examples.
  4. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading.
    1. Spelling should be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags).
    2. Grammar should be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    3. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard. It is recommend that you seek extra training or support in order to be able to write at an acceptable professional standard.
    4. Many spaces are missing.
    5. their vs. there
  5. APA style
    1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
    2. Check and correct order of numbering for figures.
    3. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text.
    4. Citations
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    5. References are not presented and formatted in APA style.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an excellent presentation that makes effective use of simple tools.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. Well selected and structured content - not too much or too little, although more coverage of research would be useful.
  2. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion).

Communication[edit source]

  1. The presentation is easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to, with practical solutions.
  2. The presentation makes effective use of text based slides with narrated audio.
  3. Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
  4. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read in the time provided.
  5. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images.

Production quality[edit source]

  1. The full chapter title and sub-title are used in the video title - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. Use the full chapter title and sub-title in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  3. Audio and video recording quality was excellent.
  4. A copyright license for the presentation is provided.
  5. A link to and from the book chapter is provided.
