Topic suggestion[edit source]

Hey ! great book chapter, Have you ever heard of mindfulness walking ? I thought it might be useful to add it into your book chapter. Take a look at this starter reference https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12671-016-0550-8 U3177123 (discusscontribs) 21:51, 18 October 2020 (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==

Defining emotion[edit source]

@U3093304: great to see the active development on this topic. A suggestion about the "Definition emotion" section: Basically, defining emotion isn't really necessary. Instead, provide a brief definition (e.g., in the Overview) and then link to dedicated resources about emotion, such as emotion (Wikiversity) and/or emotion (Wikipedia). This will free the chapter structure and content up to focus in on summarising the best available psychological theory and research about the topic, which is "How does walking affect emotion?" - doing so will do a better job of addressing the marking criteria than will provide definitional material about general concepts. In case this isn't obvious, consider that you are not currently planning to describe walking per se in much detail - instead, better to briefly describe it and link to walking (Wikipedia). Hope that makes sense. Let me know if I can do anything else. Sincerely, James. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:42, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Physical exercise chapters[edit source]

@U3093304: if haven't already come across them, check out these other motivation and emotion physical exercise book chapters and consider where/how to integrate relevant links within the main text and/or in the See also section. Doing so would help to embed and intermesh these chapters, creating rich text. You can also add relevant links from these chapter to this walking and emotion chapter (which would count as social contributions). Sincerely, James. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:47, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Hi there! Your chapter looks great! The pictures are appropriate and well-placed. The quiz questions are great! I love this topic, it's pretty interesting and relevant! One teeny tiny suggestion, for your 'see also' links, maybe try and give them a capital letter? Such a picky thing, I know! Good luck! --U3142860 (discusscontribs) 03:47, 15 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. 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 a promising chapter that is currently more of an annotated bibliography or catalogue of relevant study summaries, but it doesn't adequately address theory or practical, take-away messages.
    1. The chapter could benefit from further development of the Overview (in particular) and Conclusion - it should be possible to only read these sections and get a good sense of why the topic is important and what is known/recommended.
  2. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Almost no systematic consideration of relevant emotion theory.

Research[edit source]

  1. Extensive summarising/catalogising of relevant theory, but lacking in connection to theory and critical synthesis.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in brackets at the end of the sentence.
    2. The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview (in particular) and Conclusion.
  2. Layout
    1. 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. Some use of Interwiki links (but don't italicise).
    2. Effective use and captioning of images.
    3. Figure 2 doesn't show anyone walking?
    4. Excellent use of quizzes.
    5. No use of case studies.
  4. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading.
    1. Avoid excessive use of italics.
    2. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).


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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a reasonably good presentation.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. Many of the comments about the book chapter also apply to this section (particularly comments about lack of focus on theory).
  2. Drifts away somewhat from focus on walking and depression into walking and emotion.
  3. Otherwise, reasonably well selected and structured content - not too much or too little.
  4. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion).
  5. The presentation could be strengthened by adding practical, take-home messages.

Communication[edit source]

  1. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio.
  2. Well paced.
  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.

Production quality[edit source]

  1. The presentation is slightly over the maximum time limit.
  2. The full chapter title and sub-title are used in the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  3. Use the full chapter title and sub-title in the video title because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  4. Audio and video recording quality is very good.
  5. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.
  6. Image copyright may have been violated - did you get permission to re-use?
  7. A link to and from the book chapter is provided.
