Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be:

== Cats and mice ==

rather than

== Cats and Mice ==

    1. correct italicisation

Reference List[edit source]

Your chapter looks great! Your use of visuals makes the chapter really stand out, the focus on dance is a really interesting way to focus in on this psych theory. The only thing that caught my eye was the reference list make sure you italicize title of the journal and volume number, use sentence casing for title of article and title casing for journal title. the guide i was using said there is a new format for DOI's too, and that the use of et al. was appropriate for authors of three or more for in text citation. Here's the link :) https://libguides.jcu.edu.au/apa/reference-list

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

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

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a very good chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Key strengths of this chapter are its understanding and explanation of theory and use of visual diagrams.
  3. Key areas for improvement could be the review of research and the quality of written expression.
  4. For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are very well selected, described, integrated, and explained.

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is reasonably well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. A strength of the written expression is the independent voice - the chapter is clearly based on a closer reading of relevant academic literature.
    2. Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective[1].
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As discussed", "As previously mentioned"). Instead, use section linking.
    4. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words.
    5. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    2. See earlier comments about heading casing.
    3. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Fabulous development of diagrams to communicate conceptual ideas - congratulations . Note that more meta-data is needed for:
      1. File:David-hofmann-e_rhazQLaSs-unsplash.jpg; seems to be falsely claimed as your own work and no source URL is provided.
      2. File:20150956099d2025502.jpg; seems to be falsely claimed as your own work and no source URL is provided.
    2. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
    3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    4. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links.
    5. Excellent use of image(s).
    6. Basic use of table(s).
    7. Basic use of feature box(es).
    8. Very promising use of quiz(zes) - love the case studies. However, the answers to Q1 and Q2 seemed to be incorrect? (have changed them).
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Often what could help is to change a comma into a full-stop (i.e., split a sentence into two sentences).
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
    3. Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists.
  5. APA style
    1. In general, do not capitalize the names of diseases, disorders, therapies, treatments, theories, concepts, hypotheses, principles, models, and statistical procedures.
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    3. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      3. Include hyperlinked dois.
