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.
Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic.
However, avoid providing too much background information. Instead, briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then the focus of most of the content can be on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.

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 address the topic about half-way through.
Expand on the theoretical explanation of EVT and AM.
General background research is reviewed and discussed, however the chapter needs to narrow in on, and discuss in more detail, research about EVT and AM.
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/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonably good.
Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
Some paragraphs are overly long (e.g., the last paragraph). Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
Learning features
Excellent use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
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.
Very good use of images.
Good use of tables.
Excellent use of feature boxes.
Very good use of quizzes.
Basic use of case studies. The studies should relate more directly to EVT and AM.
Grammar
Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1].

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.
The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion).
A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s).
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.
Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio.
Some of the font size and diagrams should be larger to make them easier to read.
The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
The chapter title and sub-title are used in the video title - this helps 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 OK, but background noise is evident (e.g,. key board clicks) probably because an on-board microphone was used - review microphone set-up (i.e., used a plug-in mic).

A copyright license for the presentation is/not provided.
A link to the book chapter is provided.
A link from the book chapter is provided.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided.
