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.
Moved social contribution summary from book chapter page to user page
Summarised with indirect links to evidence.
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.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Basic development of key points for most sections, with relevant citations.
Overview
Limited development (can be a sign that the plan hasn't been thought through sufficiently)
Focus questions provided.
Conclusion
No development (often a sign of a lack of overall conception about how to tackle the topic)
Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
Direct quotes need page numbers; even better, write in your own words to demonstrate your own understanding.
Good planned covered of theory and research and excellent use of citations.
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text - e.g., probably a more relevant image is one that illustrates how the ECS relates to emotion.
Another image appears to have been deleted due to lack of copyright information.
The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site.

Comments about the book chapter also largely apply to this section.
An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
The presentation is well structured.
Consider adding and narrating an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
The presentation makes very good use of theory.
The presentation makes good use of research.
The presentation makes excellent use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice.
A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s).
What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives based on the best available psychological theory and research about this topic?
The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages.
The presentation is fun and interesting to watch and listen to.
The presentation makes effective and creative use of animated 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/Consider using greater intonation and articulation 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 chapter title and sub-title are used in both the name of presentation and on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
The chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
The chapter title but not the sub-title are used in the video title - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
Audio recording quality was poor (e.g., tinny, white noise). Probably an on-board microphone was used. Consider using an external microphone.
Visual display quality was excellent.
Image sources are provided..
A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.
A link to the book chapter is provided.
A link from the book chapter is provided.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page.

Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
The Overview should be more strongly focused around the final focus question - that is the topic. The other questions are general and not of great interest - the answers can be summarised briefly, with links to further info.
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
However, there is too much general theoretical material (e.g., about emotion). 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).
The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.
Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of relevant research.
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.
Use permanent, rather than relative, time references. For example, instead of "20 years ago", refer to something like "at the beginning of the 21st century". In this way, the text will survive better into the future, without needing to be rewritten.
Layout
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Headings should use default wiki style (e.g., remove additional bold and italics).
Learning features
Format bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1 (e.g., for the See also and External links sections).
Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
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.
Basic use of image(s).
Basic use of table(s).
Basic use of feature box(es).
Basic use of quiz(zes), however no correct answers are indicated, hence the syntax errors.
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
APA style
Direct quotes need page numbers.
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).
