Another Way to Cope

Another way for Empty Nester Syndrome struck people to cope would be to get a pet to take care of. Maybe you could see if there has been any research done to see if adopting an animal can help. --Dunlapd (discuss • contribs) 14:27, 21 October 2019 (UTC)Dunlapd

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:47, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

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 Excellent User page Created, with brief description about self Add link to book chapter Social contribution None summarised with links to evidence. Section headings Basic, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure. Remove bold Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings. See earlier comment about Heading casing. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Key points Promising, but under-developed. Overview - Consider adding focus questions. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Consider introducing a case study in the Overview. Consider including more examples/case studies. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section. Image An image (figure) is presented. Caption uses APA style (italics fixed). Caption explains how the image connects to key points being made in the main text. Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Good. For full APA style: Use correct italicisation Use the new recommended format for dois - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.html Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume Resources See also Good External links None

Hi, I've just read your chapter and i think its a very interesting topic, when i was doing some research i came across a comment on a youtube video that asked about Single Parents, and i thought that would be an interesting point to look at, ive linked a website that discusses single parent empty nest syndrome and may be a good place for you to start :) --U3160677 (discuss • contribs) 04:57, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

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 UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. This chapter is well under the maximum word count. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Basic but sufficient coverage of theory involving the relation between the target constructs is provided. Balanced view provided (i.e., not all doom and gloom). The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources. Research Basic but sufficient coverage of research involving the relation between the target constructs is provided. Gender differences (i.e., effects for mothers vs. fathers?). Effects on siblings? 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. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Avoid having sections with only one sub-section. Learning features Good use of interwiki links to Wikipedia. Also embed links to related book chapters. Basic use of images. Increase size of Figure 2 so that it is easier to read. There is no Figure 3. No use of tables. Basic use of feature boxes. Good use of quizzes. 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. No use of case studies or examples. Grammar Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Check and correct use of that vs. who. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour; fulfillment vs. fulfilment). Proofreading Remove unnecessary capitalisation (lots). APA style Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text using APA style (e.g., no italics). Citations are not in full APA style. For example: Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. A serial comma is needed before "&" or "and" for citations involving three or more authors. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of italicisation. See new doi format. Social contribution ~1 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation. This presentation makes use of simple tools. Structure and content Well selected content - not too much or too little. The presentation is well structured. 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). Communication The presentation makes simple use of text with narrated audio. Consider slowing down (e.g., longer pauses between sentences) and using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement. Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images. Production quality Communicate both the chapter title and the sub-title are used in the video title - 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 good. Video recording quality was a bit fuzzy (low resolution). A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A link to the book chapter is not provided. A link from the book chapter is provided. A minimalistic written description of the presentation is provided.
