Case Study boxes[edit source]

Hi, this looks like it has come along nicely. I love the quiz link! However, it might help boost your marks if you added one or two more case study boxes. You can use these to highlight any extra information or write a short story as an example. U3189449 (discusscontribs) 22:27, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Social Contribution[edit source]

Well done on your book chapter it looks amazing! The amount of effort and information put into this really shows! One thing I might comment on is the format of your in-text referencing; just make sure that it is 7th edition referencing. Adding a quiz might also make your book chapter a little but more intriguing. Apart from this there is really nothing else I love it! --U3190523 (discusscontribs) 10:20, 18 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

This was really interesting to read. My chapter is on a similar topic- nutrition and anxiety. It's clear that you've put a lot of time and effort into this, it looks great. My only suggestion would be to include a quiz or 2! --U3130574 (discusscontribs) 21:46, 18 October 2020 (UTC)Reply


Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. This chapter is over the maximum word count.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained.
  2. There is too much general theoretical and technical background material (e.g., about omega-3s, mood etc.). 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). This would help to get the chapter within the maximum word count.

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent/very good/good/basic/below professional standard.
    2. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1].
    3. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. It is most often not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking.
    5. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
  1. Learning features
    1. Good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
    2. 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.
    3. Promising use of image(s), however it was falsely claimed that at least half of the images were your own work, when they were clearly created by others and were uploaded despite being copyright restricted. I've requested deletion.
    4. Basic use of table(s).
    5. Good use of feature box(es).
    6. Basic use of quiz(zes).
  2. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video.
    2. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[3].
  3. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    3. 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).
  4. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    1. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname.
    2. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Include full journal title

Overall[edit source]

  1. An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
  2. The selection of content is perhaps overly focused on technical aspects.
  3. The presentation is well structured.

Communication[edit source]

  1. The presentation is interesting to watch and listen to.
