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.
Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
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.

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.
Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
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.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Learning features
Excellent 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.
No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters.
Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses.
Spelling
Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags).
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 using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site.

If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation.
The presentation focuses too much on general aspects (e.g., oxytocin and stress as separate concepts) and too little on the specific relationships/connection between O and SS.
The presentation makes basic use of theory.
The presentation makes little/no use of research.
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).
