Comments[edit source]

Hey, You're topic is very interesting! Was thinking you may want to consider the current climate change debates and student strikes for a case study example in your chapter, as it it pretty relevant and a current issue. I also fixed you're references however I left the current ones in just in case you felt you did not want to change them. Good luck in these final weeks! --Cass1804 (discusscontribs) 01:59, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit source]

Heya, I'm not sure how you're tracking for the word limit but if you're looking for an extra little something I think it would be cool to address some of the very recent local happenings related to climate change anxiety and how these issues/events exacerbate or reduce the anxiety. Things like:

You are lucky to have such a socially relevant topic right now! --U3173480 (discusscontribs) 05:42, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

--CaraDillon (discusscontribs) 03:21, 14 October 2019 (UTC)== Climate grief ==[reply]

Hi! You have yourself a great topic here, very interesting and relevant to the time. Due to so many children, youth and millennials feeling increasing anxiety around the grim outlook of climate change, there's been a recent move to give this a clinical name - "climate grief". 'Climate grief' involves despair about the future of the environment, as well as strong feelings of helplessness. This is a new development in psychology, so you may or may not have heard of it. I, myself identify strongly with this term as it feels validating to be able to give such experiences a name. I've linked an interesting article by VICE below that describes climate grief well: https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/gy48d4/environmental-grief-climate-change-anxiety

hey, really good work so far. I was thinking it might be interesting to (like a picture) include Greta Thunberg's speech at UN climate action summit as an eye catcher:) might be a good way to get your reader's attention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAJsdgTPJpU Good luck. --U3182366 (discusscontribs) 12:38, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter.
  2. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. There is too much general theoretical material. Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question). The chapter starts to directly addressing the topic about half-way through.
  2. Relevant theories is considered in a basic way, however there is a lack of sufficient citation.

Research[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of research directly related to the topic.
  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/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic, but sufficient.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured.
  3. Learning features
    1. No use of embedded interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    2. No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Very basic use of images.
    4. No use of tables.
    5. No use of feature boxes.
    6. Basic use of quizzes.
    7. 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.
    8. No use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
    3. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1].
  5. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., Climate Change).
    2. Sentences should be started with a capital letter.
  6. APA style
    1. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Do not include author initials.
      2. A full stop is needed after "et al" (i.e., "et al.").
    2. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      3. See new doi format.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. There is too much info about CC and anxiety as separate concepts. Instead, cut to the chase and focus on psychological theory and research about CCA and what can be done about it.
  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,
