Social contribution

[edit source]

Great content, a small benefit may be linking some of the referenced concepts to external sources where they are secondary to the main topic such as Lockes theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal_setting and SMART goals. --U115433 (discusscontribs) 09:48, 18 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Social contribution

[edit source]

Hi, I enjoyed reading your chapter. I think the layout and structure reads well and is engaging. I have fixed a few grammar issues in your case study of Dean. I would also suggest fixing the errors in your other case study of Erin. --BirdU3171984 (discusscontribs) 09:39, 18 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

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 ==

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 chapter does a reasonably good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem.
  2. A strength is the coverage of theory.
  3. The main room for improvement is to provide more indepth review of relevant research.
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Relevant theory is reasonably well explained, with examples.
  2. Did you consult Maslow (1943)? If not, this should be cited as a secondary source.
  1. Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of relevant research.
  2. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  3. 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.
  4. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good.
    2. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
    3. Reduce use of weasel words (e.g., "said") which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning.
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking.
  2. Learning features
    1. 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. See example.
    2. 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.
    3. Use in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
    4. Links to non-peer-reviewed sources should be moved to the external links section.
    5. Good use of image(s).
    6. No use of table(s).
    7. Basic of feature box(es).
    8. Good use of quiz(zes).
  3. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video.
    2. Abbreviations
      1. Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses.
  4. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    3. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    4. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159).
    5. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
      2. Do not include author first name or initials.
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
  1. ~8 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence.
