Topic development feedback

[edit source]

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. Excellent

User page

[edit source]
  1. Excellent
    1. 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.

Social contribution

[edit source]
  1. Excellent

Section headings

[edit source]
  1. Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic.
  2. The structure can still be developed and improved - see some suggestions in the next section.
  3. 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

[edit source]
  1. Maybe consider the pros and cons of performance feedback.
  2. Theory
    1. Consider intrinsic and extrinsic motivation - this is probably more relevant than Maslow's hierarchy of needs
    2. Consider performance versus mastery goals and feedback
    3. Cognitive evaluation theory is important/relevant
    4. Leadership styles could be useful
  3. Research
    1. Make sure to integrate research evidence along with theory
  4. Case studies/examples
    1. Promising use of case studies/examples
  5. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  6. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  7. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.
  8. Conclusion (the most important section) hasn't been developed.
  1. An image (figure) is presented.
  2. Caption
    1. uses APA style.
    2. does not use APA style.
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References

[edit source]
  1. Very good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. doi formatting

Resources

[edit source]
    1. Excellent

APA style for citations

[edit source]

@U3178984: This is a minor suggestion about APA style for citations. Add a space before using a citation in brackets. For example, "... learned(Hattie & Timperley, 2007)" should be "... learned (Hattie & Timperley, 2007)". Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 14:51, 9 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Draft feedback

[edit source]

@U3178984: I've had a quick skim through this impressive-looking chapter. A few tips/suggestions:

  • Consider linking the first mentions of key concepts to relevant Wikipedia pages or related book chapter topics. Wiki links were covered in Tutorial 2.
  • Consider using Australian/British spelling - e.g., behaviour (Australian/British) vs. behavior (US); also analyse vs. analyze.
  • There are some grammar and spelling errors. Consider inviting peers to help e.g., by posting the chapter on the UCLearn discussion forum. This will help to improve the chapter and give an opportunity for others to make social contributions.
  • The hyperlinks in the reference list should be active (i.e., clickable)

Social Contributions

[edit source]

Hi, well done on your book chapter, there is a lot of very interesting relevant information regarding your topic. You have repeated "Feedback is one of the most powerful influences" twice right after each other, may I suggest that you change one of the sentences so they aren't repeated. May I also suggest that you change some sentences to bold italics or add something special to your page like a table or some sub headings to make it look more interesting and make viewers "want to read" your book chapter. --U3190523 (discusscontribs) 07:01, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

[edit source]
FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example:

Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory

Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. Theory is very good. Research is relatively weak. The quality of written expression is not of professional standard.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Relevant theories are well selected and described.
  2. It wasn't clear how cognitive evaluation theory is related to performance feedback.
  1. Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of research.
  2. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  3. 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.
  4. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills to a professional standard.
    2. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    2. See earlier comments about heading casing.
  3. Learning features
    1. Very good/Good/Basic/No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
    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. Basic use of image(s).
    4. No use of table(s).
    5. Good use of feature box(es).
    6. Very good use of quiz(zes).
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
  5. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags).
  6. Proofreading
  7. APA style
    1. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation.
  1. ~24 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence.
  2. Note that APA style italicises journal article titles and book titles.
