Topic development feedback

[edit source]

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 and sub-title

[edit source]
  1. Excellent

User page

[edit source]
  1. Created

Social contribution

[edit source]
  1. None summarised with links to evidence

Section headings

[edit source]
  1. Basic, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development e.g., to reduce the number of top-level headings increase the number of subsequent-level headings.
  2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Consider more interesting headings than "relevant theories"

Key points

[edit source]
  1. Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations.
  2. Avoid using the textbook - it is a secondary, not a primary source.
  3. Good coverage of theory.
  4. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
  5. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  1. Provided, with an APA style caption
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References

[edit source]
  1. Good.
  2. For full APA style:
    1. Use correct capitalisation
    2. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume

Resources

[edit source]
  1. Excellent

Suggestion

[edit source]

Have a read of Robins and Novaco (1999) on systems conceptualisation and treatment of anger. Page 327, the researchers talk about how interrelatedness of system components provide positive or negative feedback among interdependent structures, which could either amplify or counteract anger processes. They also discuss some assumptions of anger and provide some clear examples. --U3158296 (discusscontribs) 07:13, 12 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Consider introducing more information into your overview, as expanding this can provide clarification towards the aims and target of your textbook chapter. Providing a case study in this section reflecting the experience of a person anger management difficulties could be beneficial. Otherwise, your work thus far appears to be well-developed, and the information provided is interesting to the viewer! Good work and good luck! --Emilymking (discusscontribs) 23:23, 15 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I like what you have done with the topic so far! I found an interesting lecture about the evolution of anger that you might want to add to your external links. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R515sx-gVwY Hope this helps! U3178428 (discusscontribs) 11:28, 20 October 2019 (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 UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Overview needs development (introduce the topic). The case study and focus questions are excellent.
  3. Excellent Conclusion.
  4. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. The Reeve (2018) and Burton, Westen, and Kowalski (2015) textbooks are overused as citations - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.
  3. Did you directly consult James (1884)? If not, this should be a secondary citation.
  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  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.
  1. Written expression
    1. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    2. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").


    1. Overall, the chapter is very well written.
    2. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
    3. The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s) (Overview) and take-home self-help message for each focus question (Conclusion).
    4. Internationalise: Write for an international, not just a domestic audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population.
    5. Obtaining (earlier) comments on a chapter plan and/or chapter draft could have helped to improve the chapter.
    6. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter.
  1. 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.
  2. Learning features
    1. Excellent use of interwiki links and embedded links to related book chapters.
    2. Good use of images.
    3. No use of tables.
    4. Good use of feature boxes.
    5. Good use of quizzes.
    6. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end.
    7. Very good use of case studies or examples.
  3. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists.
    2. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's).
  4. APA style
    1. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text.
    2. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. When there are three or more authors, subsequent citations should use et al. e.g., Smith, Bush and Western (2001) and thereafter cite Smith et al. (2001).
      2. In-text citations should be in alphabetical order.
    3. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
  1. ~5 logged, minor, social contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. APA style - numbers 10 and over should be expressed in numerals - needs fixed[2]

Overall

[edit source]
