Comment[edit source]

Hey, your article is already looking incredible. I'm enrolled in a couple of nutrition classes and am interested in the subject, so I can't wait for the finished product. --U3160493 (discusscontribs) 08:19, 30 August 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.

Title and sub-title[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. Capitalisation of the title/sub-title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents

User page[edit source]

  1. Created
  2. Description about self
  3. Link provided to book chapter
  4. Used effectively

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Summarised with somewhat direct links to evidence - an even better option is to link directly to the comparison between the old and new versions of Wikiversity pages. 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.
  2. Numbered list have been added.

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings. However, consider simplifying/focusing on core topic i.e., basically could start with section 5. 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.
that directly relate to the core topic.
  1. Overly complicated 3-level structure - consider simplifying.
  2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. See earlier comment about Heading casing.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Only a very brief intro to anxiety and nutrition as separate concepts is needed; link to other relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles for more info. This will allow the bulk of the chapter to focus on the core problem: How can nutrition be used to help deal with anxiety?
  2. Jacka et al. work is relevant - check to see if there's more from these authors.
  3. It is promising that a critical perspective will be applied - i.e., aiming for a balanced view of the strengths and limitations of nutritional contributions to anxiety. Maybe also consider that it may not be so much about to eat as to what to avoid eating to help minimise anxiety.
  4. Great that you're including the mediating role of the gut microbiota and how nutrition can contribute.
  5. Avoid over-Australianising the content - we only represent 0.33% of the world population - write for an international audience

Image[edit source]

  1. An image (figure) is presented.
  2. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text.
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References[edit source]

  1. Good.
  2. For full APA style, use:
    1. correct capitalisation
    2. correct italicisation

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Very good (but look for international guidelines e.g., WHO?)

Length and heading format[edit source]

Hello, this looks to be a fascinating topic and you've put a lot of work into it. My suggestion would be to wind back on theheadings and try to synthesise some of the topics as one bigger one. I also see that some headings have wevery word capitalised "Like They Do In This Sentence" when it should "Look something like this". I made the same mistake in my topic development. --U3114726 (discusscontribs) 05:58, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Further feedback on heading format[edit source]

Hi there! I am doing the omega-3 fatty acids and mood book chapter, so our chapters related quite a lot. You've done a really great job at covering many areas of your topic. In terms of your headings, ensure that only the first word of your heading is capitalised. For example, instead of "Making The Sentence Look Like This", it needs to "Look like this". Hope this helps you out! Good luck --U3190522 (discusscontribs) 07:50, 18 October 2020 (UTC)U3190522[reply]

Book chapter and multimedia feedback responses from author[edit source]

Thank you for your feedback, I have taken it on board. I'm glad to hear that the book chapter internal hyperlinking was well executed and the presentation communication and production was well done. With regards to the word count of the chapter and the time limit of the presentation both being over, I was aware of this, but under the impression that the marking guidelines followed the +/- 10% rule that has been given in all of my other assessments throughout my degree. Evidently this is not the case and apologies for not double checking. Also, for the presentation, a written description on Youtube was provided. Following your advice, I have made my presentation public on Youtube. I'm looking forward to receiving my final feedback and grade.
