Comments[edit source]

Hey just looked through your work. Just saw a few things that could be fixed up. Your see also does not have any links so I can't click on them and find out what they are. Also the references could be slightly fixed up with the doi getting https:// put in front so it becomes a clickable link as well. Apparently you also don't need the issue number in the reference. Here is what it should look like: Konopka, L. (2015). Near death experience: neuroscience perspective. Croatian Medical Journal, 56, 392-393. https://doi:10.3325/cmj.2015.56.392. Good luck with the assignment --Cass1804 (discusscontribs) 23:53, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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==

The topic development 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 the chapter plan. 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[edit source]

  1. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Created, with brief description about self and link to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Well summarised
  2. Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Well developed 2-level heading structure, but note that only sections 4 and 5 directly address the topic (the sub-title) - consider expanding these sections, perhaps with sub-headings. Avoid providing too much background/generic material. Instead briefly summarise background concepts and provide wiki links to further information. Then focus for most of the content can then be on directly answering the core question posed by the chapter sub-title.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Check/correct grammar e.g., NDE's -> NDEs
  2. Consider using gender-neutral language e.g., mankind -> humankind
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies (e.g., in the Overview)
  4. Key points are reasonably well developed for each section, with some relevant citations. The main area to improve is a greater emphasis on the range of emotional responses to different types of NDEs, comparing and contrasting different theoretical perspectives integrated with research evidence.
  5. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section.

Image[edit source]

  1. Provided, with an APA style caption
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References[edit source]

  1. Good.
  2. The hanging indent template can be applied once to all references rather than individually to each reference (fixed)
  3. For full APA style:
    1. Remove date after "Retrieved from"; preferably just use a doi instead of "Retrieved from"
    2. 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
    3. Use correct capitalisation
    4. Use correct italicisation
    5. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume

Resources[edit source]

  1. Use bullet-points (fixed)
  2. Use sentence casing
  3. See also
    1. Use internal wiki links
    2. Rename links so that they are more user friendly
    3. Also link to past relevant chapters
  4. External links
    1. Rename links so that they are more user friendly

Contribution[edit source]

Hey, i've just read through your chapter and its very interesting, however after some quick research i found that depending on peoples culture/background and religious beliefs they can influence the type of near death experience people have and what types of things people may see - for example a lot of Indian people report seeing the Hindu king of the dead instead of "god". Ive linked a relevant article that may be a good starting point for you and you can probably mention it under the "spitirs/divine beings" heading in your chapter :)--U3160677 (discusscontribs) 05:20, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
