3-level heading structure - consider simplifying to 2-levels
There is too much emphasis on background content that is not directly related to the topic. There is not enough emphasis directly on the topic which is: "What role does disgust play in disease avoidance motivation?"
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.

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.

Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
Overall, this chapter does a reasonably good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem.
The Overview is insufficiently developed - it lacks sufficient focus on the topic which is not disgust per se, but the role disgust plays in disease avoidance. There is already a general chapter about disgust, so this emotion can be summarised with a link to this pre-existing chapter, allowing the current chapter to focus on its target topic.
In contrast, the Conclusion is excellent.
The chapter starts to address the target topic with the section titled: "Disgust as a Disease-Avoidance Mechanism".
There is too much general theoretical material. 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).
Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained.
Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
Some 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.
Excellent/Very good/Good/Basic/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.
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.
Limited use of image(s). The one image was labelled Figure 3. Perhaps other images were deleted due to lack of sufficient copyright information?
No use of table(s).
Basic use of feature box(es).
Excellent use of quiz(zes).
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] 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.
Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
Replace double spaces with single spaces.
APA style
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).
Figures and tables
Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
Only include author surname and year, not first name or initials. Don't provide article titles in the main body, only in references.
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:

Comments about the book chapter also largely apply to this section.
An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
This presentation doesn't adequately address the topic because there is too much emphasis on disgust as a general emotion and too little on its application to disease avoidance.
The presentation is well structured.
The presentation makes good use of theory.
The presentation makes little to no use of research.
The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies.
A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s).
The chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
The video title should be the full chapter title and sub-title to help clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
Visual display quality was very good.
