Chapter Feedback

Hi Caroline, can't remember how far you said you were through the research so not sure if you'll already have all this, but thought I'd throw a couple references your way. Hope that's ok! ABC News has an article up about meditation that I've grabbed these references from, but thought there might be some more if you want to check it out: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-22/meditation-how-it-affects-the-brain-to-help-you-stress-less/10148158 The references I grabbed off there are: Effects of yoga on mental and physical health: A short summary of reviews (2012). Bussing, Michalsen, Khalsa, Telles, & Sherman; and a meta-analysis of mindfulness techniques and their effect: Mindfulness mediates the physiological markers of stress: systematic review and meta-analysis (2017). Pascoe, Thompson, Jenkins, & Ski. Hope that's helpful in some way and I'm not just repeating what you've got. Good luck with it! Cheers, Dot--Foley.d (discuss • contribs) 01:53, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Article suggestion and minor edit

Hi there, this chapter looks super interesting! I added the APA style caption to your image :) I also found this article that talks about yoga and mood disorders, I thought it might be helpful to your work https://www-tandfonline-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/doi/abs/10.1586/ern.11.77 good luck with the chapter! --U3160212 (discuss • contribs) 02:33, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Suggestion

Wow, what an interesting and unique topic! A suggestion that you may or may not have considered could be biological processes that occur whilst doing yoga, such as changes within the brain? Here is an article I found in regards to this: http://science.sciencemag.org.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/content/358/6362/461 (if the link doesn't work, it is called 'Meditation and yoga associated with changes in the brain' by Michaela Jarvis). Otherwise, you seem to be on track, and by the looks of things, there seems to be a fair amount of research on your topic! Best of luck --Abbsu3163507 (discuss • contribs) 07:07, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Resource suggestions

Hi Caroline, I found a few articles from TIME that could be useful as external links and general information for you topic: "It's Official: Yoga Helps Depression" and "Yoga Helps Older Adults Battle Depression and Anxiety." And a TEDx Talk about the psychological benefits of yoga that has a few references to mood disorders. And finally a systematic review which established a strong effect for a yoga intervention for reducing depression: https://doi.org/10.1080/13607863.2014.997191.

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:23, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Title, sub-title, TOC Title and sub-title were incorrect - now fixed User page Very good Social contribution Links don't go directly to evidence of contributions See suggestions for how to record social contributions Section headings Basic, 2-level structure The "Yoga" and even "Yoga and emotion" top-level headings aren't really needed - cover these concepts 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 Limited to no development Image Use APA style for captions Expand figure caption to explain how it relates to one or more key points in the text References Use APA style For latest APA style recommended format for dois see http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html Resources See also - none provided External links Include info about source/destination in brackets after the hyperlink - see example

Possible Theory

Hi Caroline

an interesting theory that you could possibly look up could be Flow Theory by Csikszentmihalyi where talks about the effortlessness one feels when enjoying an activity

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 good chapter which could be improved by focusing more directly on comprehensive review of research evidence about the topic and taking a more critical perspective. The Overview gives a lovely introduction to yoga, but not to the specific topic which is "How can yoga help deal with mood disorders?" For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Reasonable coverage of neurophysiological theory is provided. Flow is also considered. But why else might yoga influence mood? Perhaps there could be further consideration here - e.g., maybe the meditative/mindful state, physical distraction, goalsetting/challenge/progression etc. And also how do the theories relate not just to general well-being, but mood disorders in particular? Research Several relevant research studies are reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. Some of these studies could be discussed in more detail. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful. One one hand, the chapter argues that there is a lack of relevant research, yet the conclusion (over)enthusiastically claims that "Vast amounts of research have shown the benefits of yoga on disorders, especially in the field of depression and anxiety.". Some important studies seem to have been overlooked (e.g., https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/da.22166). Some statements are unreferenced (see the tags). There is perhaps some author bias towards an overly positive, non-critical view of yoga, rather than objective reporting of relevant research evidence. Written expression Written expression Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. The chapter benefited from a reasonably well developed Overview and Conclusion. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing. Avoid having sections with only one sub-section. 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 Interwiki links are well used. Excellent exercise and case study. Basic use of images. No use of tables. No use of quizzes. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading. Check and correct use of that vs. who. APA style Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text. Citations A serial comma is needed before "&" or "and" for citations involving three or more authors. Select up to the top three citations per point (i.e., avoid citing four or more citations to support a single point). A full stop is needed after "et al". References use correct APA style.

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 excellent presentation that makes effective use of Powtoon to convey key messages. Structure and content Well selected and structured content - not too much or too little. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion). Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Communication The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to. 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. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read in the time provided. Excellent use of animated visuals to accompany the audio and text. 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. Audio and video recording quality was excellent. A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A link to and from the book chapter is provided.
