Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2020/Nature deficit disorder

Additional resources

Hi! What an fascinating topic. Something I haven't considered very deeply in the past. I did some research and stumbled across a book written by Renee Simmons Raney (https://ebookcentral-proquest-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/lib/canberra/reader.action?docID=5440260) to encourage and inspire children to become creative in nature to provide a sense of appreciation and enthusiasm for the world around them. This book was written as a method to cure nature deficiency in children, therefore I thought may be useful to reference or possibly use an excerpt as an example of alternative ways for children to be involved in nature. Good luck with the rest of your chapter :) --Shayley Woodgate (discuss • contribs) 10:44, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:38, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Title and sub-title Excellent User page Excellent - used effectively Social contribution Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence. Section headings Excellent See earlier comment about Heading casing. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Key points Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) - even better, write in your own words. Overview - Consider adding: focus questions. an image. an example or case study. Key points are well developed for each section. Ideally, include more citations. Consider including more examples/case studies. Image Excellent Cite each figure at least once in the main text. Consider decreasing image size. References For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation of first letter after a colon used in a title Resources Very good Also include See links to related book chapters An external link was moved from see also

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. A critical perspective is evident. Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages. 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. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Basic use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding more in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Very good use of image(s). No use of table(s). Excellent use of feature box(es). Excellent use of quiz(zes). Grammar Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Check and correct use of that vs. who. Abbreviations Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.). Proofreading More proofreading to fix typos would bring the quality of written expression to a higher professional standard. APA style In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. Use double- rather than single-quote marks for emphasis. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10). Figures and tables Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation). Citations are not in full APA style. For example: If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year (e.g., Smith et al., 2020) References use correct APA style. Social contribution ~30 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence Thankyou for your excellent social contributions - much appreciated! Bonus marks added

Overall Overall, this is a very good presentation. Structure and content 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 excellent 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. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies. A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s). Communication The presentation is easy to follow. The presentation makes effective 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. Consider improving articulation to enhance the clarity of speech. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. Sometimes could be improved by using less text to make it easier to read. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. Production quality The video is very well produced. 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 good but a bit tinny. Probably an on-board microphone was used. Consider using an external microphone. Visual display quality was very good. Image sources and their copyright status are not 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.
