Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be:

== Cats and mice ==

rather than

== Cats and Mice ==

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. Title and sub-title have been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents
  2. Authorship details removed - authorship is as per the page's editing history

User page[edit source]

  1. Confusing layout - consider simplifying
  2. About me
    1. Add description about self
    2. Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
  3. Add internal link to book chapter (see Tutorial 1 for how to)

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence.

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Overly complicated 3-level structure - consider simplifying e.g., a lot of what has been styled as a heading should be normal text, not a heading.
  2. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections.
  3. Remove colons from the end of headings
  4. See earlier comment about Heading casing.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Partially developed
  2. Overview is missing
  3. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  4. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  5. Use peer-reviewed academic sources.
  6. Use APA style for citations.
  7. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. hasn't been developed
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question in the sub-title?

Image[edit source]

  1. An image (figure) is presented.
  2. Caption
    1. does not use APA style e.g, replace colon with a period.
    2. 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. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. placement order of journal name
    2. capitalisation

Resources[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. See also
    1. Use standard formatting
    2. Move external link to external link section
    3. Include source in brackets after link
    4. Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages
  3. External links
    1. None

Overview[edit source]

Hey, just a suggestion that the 'define guilt as an emotion and survivor guilt' should maybe go in an introduction section after the overview, as the overview is more of an abstract. You may also want to put the key questions in the overview. Otherwise what you have so far look goods, and will be interesting to read when it's finished --Laurenpeel (discusscontribs) 02:54, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, here's a useful link that looked at survival guilt in a clinical psychological perspective. Niederland, W. (1981). The Survivor Syndrome: Further Observations and Dimensions. Journal Of The American Psychoanalytic Association, 29(2), 413-425. doi: 10.1177/00030651810290020706:47,-- User:OwenUC18 October 2020 (UTC)


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 insufficient chapter.
  2. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter.
  3. This chapter is over the maximum word count.
  4. This chapter makes insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations. Almost all claims are in this chapter are unsubstantiated and unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags). Without the minimal basic requirement of providing citations for claims, this chapter is insufficient as a piece of undergraduate academic work in a scientific discipline.
  5. Overview - consider building on the sub-title by presenting focus questions to help guide the reader and the chapter structure.
  6. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter makes promising use of theory, but it is insufficient due to the lack of citation of peer-reviewed psychological knowledge.
  2. There is too much general theoretical material (e.g., about guilt, biology of emotion, 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).
  3. The description of SG ties it the experience of trauma and PTSD, but it could be made more clear throughout that it is more likely to occur as a result of certain types of traumatic experiences, not all types.

Research[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of research.
  2. There is insufficient citation of academic, peer-reviewed research about this topic.
  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.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic, but is below professional standard because there is insufficient citation of the best available academic, peer-reviewed literature about the topic.
    2. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1].
    3. Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate sentences.
    4. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"; similarly "participants" is preferred to "subjects".
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
    2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. See also - move external links to the external links section.
    2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
    3. 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.
    4. Good use of image(s).
    5. Good use of table(s).
    6. No use of feature box(es).
    7. Basic use of quiz(zes).
    8. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end.
    9. Basic use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video.
    3. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals'; and its vs. it's; 1950's vs 1950s etc.).
    4. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect.
    5. Abbreviations
      1. Once an abbreviation is established (e.g., PTSD), use it consistently. Don't set up an abbreviation and then not use it or only use it sometimes.
  5. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags).
  6. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard (e.g., super-ego vs. super ego).
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
    3. Replace double spaces with single spaces.
  7. APA style
    1. In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. 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).
    3. Direct quotes need page numbers and the citation year.
    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).
    5. Citations are not in full APA style.
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section.
      2. Check and correct use of capitalisation..
      3. Include hyperlinked dois.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~1 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence.
  2. ~6 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess.
