Comments[edit source]

Hey there, I noticed you have a section talking about ensemble coding; here is an external link I found helpful in explaining this process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8of0bX4T_vo - Ensemble Coding Explained in Plain English (youKnowMoreJoJo). --Ashley Sanders01 (discusscontribs) 05:23, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heading casing[edit source]

Hi U3199141. 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

Title[edit source]

  1. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Created - minimal, but sufficient

  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.

Headings[edit source]

  1. Topic choices for the headings is generally good, but can be further developed.
  2. Overly complicated 4-level structure - consider simplifying.
  3. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  4. See earlier comment about Heading casing.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations.
  2. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. a description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. an image
    3. an example or case study
  3. Focus questions are well targetted
  4. For sections which include sub-section include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings.
  5. Appears to be a good balance of theory and research.
  6. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  7. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. some ideas, but 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?

Figure[edit source]

  1. A figure is presented.
  2. Caption uses APA style.

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 areas for potential improvement are to provide a more indepth review of research and more proofreading to improve the quality of written expression.
  3. This chapter is well under/over the maximum word count.
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Well developed Overview.
  2. Excellent examples.
  3. Clear focus question(s).
  4. Some minor aspects written expression could be improved.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Relevant theory is well selected and reasonably well described and explained.
  2. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory.

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. Key citations are well used, although there seems to be a heavy reliance on Sullivan (2018).
  3. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts. Providing more background about the examples could help the reader to understand.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Some relevant research is reviewed.
  2. The chapter could be strengthened by providing a more indepth review of relevant research.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Critical thinking about research is basic.
  2. Critical thinking about research could be 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. suggesting specific directions for future research

Integration[edit source]

  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated.
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than research.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. A reasonable summary is provided.
  2. Add practical, take-home messages.

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is OK, but several sentences are not grammatically correct. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills.
    2. "People" is often a better term than "individuals".
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using 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].
    3. Check and make correct use of commas.
    4. Use serial commas[2] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min).
  4. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
  5. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard e.g.,
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
    2. Replace double spaces with single spaces.
  6. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. Citations use correct APA style.
    3. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is good.
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
  3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters (e.g., emotional contagion). Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  4. Basic use of image(s).
  5. No use of table(s).
  6. Good use of feature box(es).
  7. No use of quiz(zes).
  8. Good use of case studies or examples. Some more explanation of the examples would be helpful (e.g., Białystok).

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~1 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence.
