It might be interesting to discuss that women are more likely to participate in bowel cancer screening programs than men. ---- Jtneill - Talk - c00:44, 20 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey there ! Just letting you know that I fixed some spelling mistakes under the emotional factors paragraph! Feel free to keep these changes or remove them :) --U3190016 (discuss • contribs) 06:57, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey this is looking really good! I would suggest to add a few more external links within the 'Cancer' section, especially for the other therapies that you mentioned. There also seems to be very little referencing within this section. The sentence 'Which lead to the second key component of early detection, cancer screening.' is a little difficult to follow. I would suggest writing something such as "In conjunction, the second key component of early detection is cancer screening." I would also try and add some images within the text to break it up for the reader. I love the running case study, this is really engaging and i like the way this is also going to be included within the conclusion. --U3187381 (discuss • contribs) 10:25, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

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.
Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
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.
Reduce/remove general content about cancer - if needed, just link to the Wikipedia pages about specific cancer types. The only real relevance of specific types for this chapter is whether specific types of screening are involved and therefore the specific motivational issues involved in encouraging people to participate in screening.
Some general motivational/health theories are then covered.
What is missing is the key content for this chapter - the application of theories to cancer screening. Concentrate efforts in building a structure and content in this area
Overly complicated 3-level structure - consider simplifying to a 2-level structure.
Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
a description of the problem and what will be covered
an image
an example or case study
Remove or adapt generic template content.
Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to other book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
Expand theory and research as it pertains to motivations for cancer screening.
Basic development of key points for each section, but insufficient development of key points about motivations for cancer screening.
Consider including more examples/case studies. This is where the types of cancer are relevant. Consider: What does cancer screening motivation have in common across the types of cancer, and what is unique about screening for different types of cancer?
Conclusion (the most important section):
what might the take-home, practical messages be?
in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question in the sub-title?
Cancer Council is not a peer reviewed source. Shift these links to the external links section. Instead, build the chapter on reading of the key peer-reviewed academic sources about the motivations for cancer screening.

Hi User:U3191761 , I noticed your all your currently listed references are from the Cancer Council website. I've found a few journal articles which may be of interest in your chapter regarding cancer screening motivations in several different studies. All of these should be locatable through the uni library website. Hope this helps

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.
Overview could benefit from focus questions and/or a case study to help engage reader interest.
This chapter makes insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations. Non-peer reviewed sources are over-used. Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section.
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
Initially, there is too much general theoretical material (e.g., about cancer). 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).
Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided.
Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of relevant research.
Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
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.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
Check and correct the gender. For example, females are more likely to participate in bowel cancer screening in Australia[1].
Greater use of global, rather than country-specific, research would be ideal.
Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s) (Overview) and take-home self-help message for each focus question (Conclusion).
Several paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate sentences.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Learning features
Promising use of a case study. However, more specificity would be ideal. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as "cancer screening" in a general sense. Instead, there is specific forms of screening, such as for bowel cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer etc. What is the next step? Ideally, provide a third section to the study which illustrates the implementation of the recommended influences to improve the likelihood for Sally, or someone similar, to engage in cancer screening opportunities. In other words, illustrate the recommended solutions based on psychological theory and research - this would help to demonstrate indepth understanding.
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.
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.
Ideally, use in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Other links can be moved to the external links section.
Basic use of image(s).
No use of table(s).
Basic use of feature box(es).
No use of quiz(zes).
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn 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 easy to follow and interesting to watch and listen to.
The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio.
Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
Excellent intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement.
The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read.
The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
The wording and/or formatting/grammar of the title/sub-title is inconsistent between the name of the video, the opening slide, and/or the book chapter.
Audio recording quality was OK, but I think the microphone was probably too close, leading to some buffeting/distortion.
Visual display quality was very good.
