Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
Basic but sufficient coverage of the overall theory is provided, but there is a lack of sufficient coverage of what is known about each of the three SOC components including how they relate to other psychological theory(ies) and research.
SOC is not really a medical model. A biopsychosocial model is a better description.
The chapter could be improved by providing a more comprehensive overview of the core SOC constructs and related theory and research.
I don't understand the missing parts of the sample measurement items. Explain.
When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail (e.g., about the methodology and/or 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.
Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s) (Overview) and take-home self-help message for each focus question (Conclusion).
Layout
The chapter lacks structural development (i.e., major headings and sub-headings).
Minimal 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. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Ideally, use in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Other links can be moved to the external links section.

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
Overall, this is an insufficient presentation mainly because it mainly only addresses what is SOC from a theoretical point of view within the first three minutes. There is little coverage of research, how its developed, or what its effects are within the first three minutes.
The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking purposes.
There is too much content, in too much detail, to be presented within the allocated time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to do a small amount well than a large amount poorly.
This presentation doesn't adequately address the topic.
The presentation is poorly planned.
Consider adding and narrating an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
The selection of content is poor because it doesn't adequately use the most relevant psychological theory and/or research to address the topic.
The presentation makes basic use of theory.
The presentation makes little use of research.
The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies.
What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives based on the best available psychological theory and research about this topic?
