Heading casing[edit source]

Hi! I am quite interested in your topic and from some quick research have found another resource you may enjoy reading and/or using. Jory MacKay has a blog about time management (I have placed two links in your working notes for ease) and an interesting question asked is if time management varies across cultures. I also added a link to SDT to help your chapter be a little interactive. Hope this suggestion help!--U3167879 (discusscontribs) 12:36, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I have added these into my external links, super interesting content! Brianna Meddemmen (discusscontribs) 09:31, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Brianna Meddemmen. 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, including to external profile
  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. Basic, 1-level heading structure - could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure. Currently, there are second-level headings in bold, but they are not appearing the table of contents because heading styles haven't been applied.
  2. See earlier comment about Heading casing.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Overview - Consider:
    1. writing a description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. focus question about the EM
    3. an image
    4. the topic is the EM rather than other TM techniques - link to other chapters for other approaches
  2. Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to other book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. For example, there is a no need for a general section about motivation theories - instead briefly summarise any that are directly relevant to explaining and understanding the EM and link to related book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles for further info. Then focus on psychological theory and research about the practice and efficacy of the EM.
  3. For sections which include sub-section include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  4. Rather than direct quotes, write in your own words
  5. Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. promising
    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. Excellent

References[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. add a space after periods

Resources[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Word Limit[edit source]

Hey there! I did a quick word count after proofing your chapter for any grammar and spelling mistakes (I didn't find many by the way!) and noticed you are already at 4084 words. I have a few suggestion for cutting down on the content to ensure you have enough spare words for your conclusion.

  • Try adding dot points in your sections and this way you can cut out a lot of unnecessary extra sentence words.
  • In the improving motivational lives section I think you can cut down on a lot of the info by linking to other chapters and wiki pages and just including a few short sentences and dot points?

- My book chapter mentions it a little https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2021/Cognitive_evaluation_theory_and_motivation and here is the link to a wikipedia page on SDT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination_theory https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Self-determination_theory Another thing I noticed was the first figure is not referenced, I love your chapter and the interactive monopoly feature boxes, such a great idea! --Ashley Sanders01 (discusscontribs) 00:47, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

thanks so much! I have linked the self determination theory page and cut down my words! --Brianna Meddemmen (discusscontribs) 03:55, 14 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 a solid chapter that makes good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Well developed Overview.
  2. Briefly explain the EM.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are selected, described, and explained.

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Reasonable depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. The tables are excellent and provide a clear mapping of the EM to time management theory.
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Basic overview of relevant 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. There is basic integration between theory and research.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Insufficient summary of key points.
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s).

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good.
    2. Some awkward expression can be improved (e.g., "inclusive of" -> "including").
    3. 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.
    4. "People" is often a better term than "individuals".
  2. Layout
    1. Headings should use default wiki style (e.g., remove additional bold).
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[1] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min).
    2. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.).
  4. APA style
    1. 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. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    4. Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.
    5. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).
      2. Figures are very well captioned.
      3. Figure captions use the correct format.
      4. Table captions should use APA style. See example.
      5. There are two Table 1s.
      6. There are two Figure 3s.
    6. Citations use correct APA style.
    7. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2] (e.g., do not capitalise minor linking words such as "of").
      2. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is very good.
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. # Excellent/ use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters.
  3. Good use of image(s).
  4. Excellent use of table(s).
  5. Excellent use of feature box(es).
  6. No use of quiz(zes).
  7. No use of case studies or examples.
  8. Monopoly metaphor/game was interesting and creative, but I think it could more powerful to provide practical examples/case studies of the EM being applied in real life.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~20 logged, useful, minor to major social contributions with semi-direct links to evidence.
