Topic development 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 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.

Title, sub-title, TOC

[edit source]
  1. Excellent

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. Excellent 2-level structure - not too little or not too much - and focused on the topic
  2. The "What is political psychology" heading isn't really needed - can cover this concept briefly within the Overview or subsequent sections, with links to dedicated Wikiversity/Wikipedia resources for more info. This will allow the bulk of the structure to be focused on addressing the core topic (the chapter's sub-title).

Key points

[edit source]
  1. Reasonably well developed
  2. Overview and Conclusion - underdeveloped - important sections
  3. Include citations
  1. Good
  2. Use APA style for captions

References

[edit source]
  1. Good

New style for DOIs

[edit source]

Based on http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html, it is better to change the way of referencing the DOI's references.

  1. The volume should be erased and the number of volumes should be in italic.
  2. Instead of doi:, http://doi.org/ should be used.
  3. The name of the publisher also should be in italic.

I Have changed all DOIs references for you. 00:14, 21 October 2018 U31455

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a basic chapter.
  2. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.
  1. Not sure about the claim that political psychology is relatively new (e.g., when I did undergrad psychology in the late 1980's, we were required to do an entire unit on the topic).
  2. One main relevant theory (AIT) is described and explained.
  3. Overall, basic use of theory, with some examples.
  1. Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of some relevant research.
  2. 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.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful.
  4. Some statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  1. Written expression
    1. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    2. Direct quotes are overused. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate concepts in your own words.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    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. Avoid having sections with only one sub-section.
    4. See earlier comments about heading casing.
  3. Learning features
    1. The chapter lacks integration with other, related chapters.
    2. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    3. Embedding interwiki links links to other book chapters would help to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    4. Basic use of images and tables.
    5. No use of feature boxes.
    6. No use of quizzes.
    7. No use of case studies or examples.
    8. No use of images, feature boxes, quizzes, case studies, or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas.
  5. APA style
    1. Use APA style for Figure captions. See example.
    2. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
    3. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text.
    4. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
    5. Citations are not in full APA style e.g.,
      1. Check and correct abbreviation for page numbers.
      2. In-text citations should be in alphabetical order.
    6. References are not in full APA style e.g.,
      1. Check and make correct use of italicisation.
      2. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within volumes.

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a promising presentation. A key strength is the interactive, accessible, interesting nature of the presentation.
  2. However, the presentation is somewhat light on theory, and very light on research.
  3. What are the practical, take-home messages?
  1. Many of the comments about the book chapter also apply to this section.
  2. Add and narrate an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
  3. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages.
  1. The presentation makes effective use of text and animated slides with narrated audio.
  2. 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.
  3. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read in the time provided.
  4. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
  1. The full chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - 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. Images and audio sources are well acknowledged.
  5. A link to and from the book chapter is provided.
  6. A very basic written description of the presentation is provided.
