Suggestion to increase size of picture and include APA referencing in image

Hi there, I noticed that your first image is quite small - I would recommend increasing the size. The way to do this can be found here. This will assist with the image size as well as the location and title. Additionally, to meet APA guidelines ensure you input Figure 1. in italics under the image. All the best with submission!

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be: == Cats and mice == rather than == Cats and Mice == -- Jtneill - Talk - c 14:16, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hi!! I noticed you didn't have any sort of interactive quizzes or a case study as part of your book chapter yet. I think that may be something to add to keep readers engaged throughout the chapter! I also found this research article that looks at different theories and perspective of cogntive dissonance that may be of interest to you!https://www.apa.org/pubs/books/Cognitive-Dissonance-Intro-Sample.pdf--U3187486 (discuss • contribs) 10:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Feedback

Hey there! I think it would be helpful to research how cognitive dissonance effects smoking motivation! Smoking has a received a lot of attention within research and including this topic should conceptualise cognitive dissonance easily for the readers :) --U3190016 (discuss • contribs) 12:51, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

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 Overall, this is an insufficient chapter. This chapter is well under/over the maximum word count. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter. Given that the earlier feedback appears to be largely ignored, minimal additional feedback is provided on the final submission. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Theory Basic coverage of relevant theory is provided. Did you consult Festinger (1957)? If not, this should be cited as a secondary source. Research Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of research. 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. Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in brackets at the end of the sentence. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead, use section linking. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing. 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 See also and external links Use bullet-points (e.g., for the see also section), per Tutorial 1. Move external links from the see also section to the external links section. Rename links so they are more user-friendly, per Tutorial 1. Include the source in parentheses after the link 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). Basic use of table(s). No use of feature box(es). No use of quiz(zes). Grammar The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Check and correct use of affect vs. effect. Abbreviations Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses. Spelling Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the tags). Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour). Proofreading More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard. cap Remove unnecessary capitalisation. APA style In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. Figures and tables Use APA style for Figure captions. See example. Use APA style for Table captions. See example. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text. Citations are not in full APA style. For example: Some citations are put into parentheses when they should be part of the sentence, such as when a citation is used at the beginning of a sentence. Comma needed between author and year in parentheses Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname and separated by semi-colons. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either: in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020) References are not in full APA style. For example: Include issue numbers. Include hyperlinked dois. Remove "Available at" Social contribution ~2 logged, very minor, social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia feedback

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.

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation. Structure and content An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little. The presentation is well structured. The opening suggestions that social psychological theory will be used. But the focus should be on motivational theory and possibly cognitive theory, given the topic. The presentation makes basic use of theory. The presentation makes little use of research. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies. A Conclusion slide is presented, but it lacks take-home message(s). Communication The presentation is easy to follow. The presentation makes basic use of text 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. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images. Production quality Title/sub-title The sub-title is missing in both the video title and on the opening slide - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality was excellent. Visual display quality was good. Image sources and their copyright status are not provided.
