Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi Kait B. 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

Hi Kait B. FYI, I've deleted this image because its use appears to be copyright restricted by Inner Drive[1]. We'll discuss how to find and use free to use images in Tutorial 02, but a quick tip is to start with the images available via Wikimedia Commons. Sincerely, James. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:46, 9 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I found an article which I thought might be useful for your book chapter. It has a section which provides a good comparison between academic buoyancy and academic resilience. It details their similarities, differences and provides some good examples :) --TaraU3187760 (discusscontribs) 07:05, 29 August 2021 (UTC) https://www.academia.edu/44411573/Academic_Resilience_and_its_Importance_in_Education_after_Covid_19?from=cover_pageReply


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.

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  1. Excellent - used effectively
  2. Description about self provided
  3. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter
  1. Summarised with indirect link(s) to evidence
  2. Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.
  3. Use a numbered list
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Promising 2-level heading structure - makes sense to use the focus questions as top-level headings. Consider further development by expanding the the second level heading structure.
  1. Overall, plenty of citations and some good initial ideas, but more development of content explaining the arguments and key points would be ideal. But the overall scope is good.
  2. Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) - more info
  3. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. a description of the problem
    2. an image
    3. an example or case study
  4. Move references into the References section; retain citations (but use APA style e.g., no author initials)
  5. Good coverage of theory.
  6. Some research citations.
  7. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  8. Consider including more examples/case studies
  9. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. under developed
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title?
  1. Excellent
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  1. Excellent selection
  2. OK formatting; for APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. doi formatting (links should be clickable)
    3. remove "Retrieved from ..."
  1. See also
    1. Very good
    2. Use bullet-points
  2. External links
    1. Very good
    2. Use bullet-points

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. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this chapter does a reasonably good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem.
  2. The main area for potential improvement is the quality of written expression.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Solid Overview.
  2. Reasonably clear focus question(s).
  3. Consider including a case study or example could help to help engage reader interest.
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory.
  3. More detail about how to promote each of the 5Cs could be provided.
  1. Appropriate depth is provided about AB.
  2. More detail about how to promote each of the 5Cs could be provided.
  3. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information.
  4. Useful discussion about how AB might apply to ADHD and Indigenous Australians.
  5. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.
  1. Relevant research is cited, but could be reviewed in more detail.
  2. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Critical thinking about research is good.
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. considering the strength of relationships
    3. suggesting specific directions for future research
  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated.
  1. Reasonably well developed.
  2. Some text seems to be repeated from earlier?
  3. Add practical, take-home messages.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good.
    2. Some of the written expression is awkward (e.g., see sentences tagged with [awkward expression?]) and should be rewritten to improve clarity.
    3. Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate sentences.
    4. Direct quotes are overused - it is far more convincing to write in your own words.
    5. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words.
    6. Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    2. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
    3. Use serial commas[2] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min).
    4. Check and correct use of semi-colons (;) and colons (:).
    5. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[3].
    6. Abbreviations
      1. Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses.
  4. Proofreading
    1. Replace double spaces with single spaces.
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
  5. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    3. Check and correct formatting of page numbers for direct quotes.
    4. 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).
    5. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
      2. Figures are very well captioned.
    6. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses.
      2. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname.
    7. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[4]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Include hyperlinked dois
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic.
  2. Format bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1.
  3. Basic 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. See example.
  4. 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.
  5. Basic use of image(s).
  6. Basic use of table(s).
  7. Excellent use of feature box(es).
  8. Very good use of quiz(zes).
  9. Little to no use case studies or examples.
  1. ~25 logged, useful, mostly major, social contributions with direct links to evidence.
