I have some suggestions for references for your cocaine withdrawal side effects:

This topic looks so interesting! Only thing I could suggest is maybe add some photos you could also make a reference to in your text, to back up what you are saying? Really looking forward to reading the final product! - U3160551
Hi Patrick, this is shaping up to be a really interesting chapter! Just FYI, I noticed that your reference list didn't have a hanging indent, so I put it in for you. I also added a green box in there for you to put your case study in if you would like, I think it breaks it up nicely and adds a bit of colour too. Keep up the good work and best of luck!

Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits.
Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
No use of embedded links to related book chapters (e.g., about other drugs). Embedding links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.

If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
The presentation is well/poorly structured.
Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation.
Add and narrate an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s).
What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives?
The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages.
There is too much content, in too much detail, presented within the allocated time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to do a small amount well than a large amount poorly.
The chapter title but not the sub-title are used in the video title - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
The chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
Audio recording quality was poor - quiet with a lot of white noise - review microphone set-up. Probably an on-board microphone was used because keyboard clicks were audible. Consider using an external microphone.
Visual display quality was basic.
A copyright license for the presentation is provided in the video description but not in the meta-data.
