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

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[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted

User page[edit source]

  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

Social contribution[edit source]

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

Headings[edit source]

  1. Promising 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development by expanding the structure
  2. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  3. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings
  4. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  5. Consider adding a heading about MI
  6. Use default heading formatting (e.g., avoid bold, italics, underline etc.)

Key points[edit source]

  1. Promising development of key points for most sections, with relevant citations
  2. Overview - Consider adding/modifying:
    1. a description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. focus questions
    3. an image
    4. an example or case study
  3. Write the chapter using 3rd person perspective, although a case study or feature box could use 1st or 2nd person perspective
  4. Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) - more info
  5. It could probably help to provide a clear explanation of MI (theory and research) at the outset, with embedded links to further info (i.e., related book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles), before exploring more about how it can be applied as a health intervention.
  6. Excellent applied focus
  7. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  8. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  9. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    2. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?

Figure[edit source]

  1. A figure is presented
  2. Caption should include Figure X. (note italics)
  3. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  4. Cite each figure at least once in the main text

References[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. doi formatting (links should be clickable)
    3. separate page numbers by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Good
    2. Include source in brackets after link - I've added these
  2. External links
    1. Good
    2. Include source in brackets after link

Article Suggestion[edit source]

Hi, it's great to see the work you have done so far on your book chapter. I have found an article that may be helpful for your "limitations" sub-heading, and potentially provide another section for the opportunities that brief motivational interviewing can provide. Emmons and Rollnick (2001) dive into the opportunities and limitations of motivational interviewing in health care settings. I think this could have some great information that you could add to your chapter. I hope this helps :) --CharliU3203035 (discusscontribs) 07:18, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Headings[edit source]

Hi! I noticed some of your headings used title casing instead of sentence casing, these have been changed. Your book chapter is looking really good! - --TaraU3187760 (discusscontribs) 09:46, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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 is an insufficient chapter.
  2. The main areas for potential improvement are to:
    1. Focus more directly on the topic; there is too much general motivational material.
    2. A more indepth review of relevant research is needed.
    3. More practical examples of brief MI in healthcare settings are needed.
    4. The quality of written expression can be improved.
  3. Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section.
  4. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter.
  5. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Too long. Move detailed content in subsequent sections. The purpose of the Overview is to briefly explain the topic, engage reader interest, and establish focus questions for the chapter.
  2. The focus questions could be improved by being more specific to the topic (i.e., the sub-title).
  3. Ideally, provide open-ended, rather than closed-ended focus questions.
  4. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. There is too much general theoretical material. 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).
  2. Build more strongly on other *-related chapters (e.g., by incorporating embedded links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Health).

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological theory (i.e., about brief MI in healthcare settings).
  2. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological research.
  2. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Insufficient critical thinking about research is evident.
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research

Integration[edit source]

  1. Insufficient integration of theory and research.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Insufficient summary.
  2. Lacks identification of key points from psychology theory and research about how brief MI can be effectively implemented in healthcare settings.
  3. Address the focus questions.
  4. Add practical, take-home message(s).

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words.
    3. Internationalise: Write for an international, rather than domestic, audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population.
    4. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    5. Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning.
    6. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
    3. Headings should use default wiki style (e.g., remove additional bold).
    4. 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 correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1].
  4. APA style
    1. 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).
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.
    3. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    4. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    5. Figures and tables
      1. Table captions should use APA style. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
      3. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
    6. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Check and correct how to cite multiple citations (e.g., "(Morrow, 2015); (Tannenbaum et al., 2015)" -> "(Morrow, 2015; Tannenbaum et al., 2015)")
    7. References use correct APA style.
    8. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic.
  2. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
  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. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links, per Tutorial 1.
  5. Links to non-peer-reviewed sources should be moved to the external links section.
  6. Good use of image(s).
  7. Basic use of table(s).
  8. No use of feature box(es).
  9. Basic use of quiz(zes).
  10. Basic use of case studies or examples.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Use a numbered list.
  2. ~9 logged, useful, minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence.
  3. ~1 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Display and narrate a slide with the same title and sub-title as the book chapter to help the viewer understanding the purpose of the presentation.
  2. A context for the topic is established. However, it is not directly related to the topic. Be more precise.
  3. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.

Content[edit source]

  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section.
  2. This presentation doesn't adequately address the topic.
  3. This presentation doesn't cover motivational interviewing until 2:20 mins - and then only in a very vague way!?

  5. The selection of content is poor because it doesn't adequately use the most relevant psychological theory and/or research to address the topic.
  6. The presentation makes insufficient use of relevant psychological theory.
  7. The presentation makes insufficient use of relevant psychological research.
  8. Include citations.
  9. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies.
