Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

  1. Excellent

Section headings[edit source]

Feedback near due date:[edit source]

Well done on the book chapter. I originally went searching for yours specifically to provide feedback on, as I thought it would link to my topic (Relationship commitment phobia), as I mention parent-child relationships in my assessment item. I purposefully left commenting on yours until towards the end, as I wanted to see what direction you took. Not the direction I thought you would, by the research I did for my topic, however I think it is really well done, and probably better than I thought it could be. You were quite concise, but went into great detail. That's a good talent to have in academic writing. My only suggestion, and it is very minor, would be to change the working in your first case study, only slightly. Where it says "Whilst they were on the holiday, Lucy...". Simply state "whilst on holiday, Lucy...". It isn't much of a change, but admittedly it did read a little awkward to me. I enjoy the layout of your chapter, it is very neatly presented. I hope you do well in the final mark. --KBPrimrose (discusscontribs) 08:20, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
