[edit source]

Hey Michael, it's Luke (U3198823), I was just reading through your current draft and it is looking good so far, but I thought I should link you to some extra resources that may help slingshot you into action. I've listed some resources discussing a couple of theoretical conversations by Carol Dweck on growth and fixed mindsets. They are quite interesting as they cover different mentalities that can be bred from birth and how they can impact particular motivational drivers throughout our lives. I'll also link you to some journal articles that are peer-reviewed that also cover this particular theory. I hope this helps you in general and in your later assignments.

All the best, Luke :)

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. Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence
  2. Add your signature to comments on talk/discussion pages
  1. Promising 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development by expanding the structure. Consider using more descriptive headings and expanding the sub-heading structure.
  2. The general section on motivation probably isn't needed (just briefly introduce the general concept and link to other chapters or Wikipedia for more info), so that the chapter can concentrate on growth need motivation.
  3. Good to explain needs, physical vs. psychological, with the emphasis on psychological as these are more related to psychological growth.
  4. Perhaps consider moving Maslow's hierarchy and Alderfer's ERG theory up as they are useful starting points that distinguish growth needs.
  1. Good development of key points for each section, with relevant citations.
  2. Work on the logical flow/structure - so there is a narrative/story.
  3. Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) - even better, write in your own words
  4. For sections which include sub-section include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  5. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. a description of the "problem"
    2. an image
  6. Theory looks to be well covered. Where theory is discussed, consider how to balance with this reviewing relevant research.
  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. Good idea to use a table
  10. Good see a critical perspective (Criticisms/limitations). This can be a separate section or embedded throughout.
  11. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. underway - as your knowledge develops, strive to make this section more specific
    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. Well done on creating and uploading your own image.
  2. Caption 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
  4. Consider increasing image size from default to make it easier to view
  1. Avoid secondary citations (e.g., Reeve textbook) - instead go to the primary sources.
  2. Are all citations in the Reference list?
  3. Make sure to identify and make use of recent work in this area e.g., https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2017&q=%22growth+needs%22&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5
  4. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. italicisation
    2. doi formatting (links should be active/clickable)
  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent
    2. There must be better (more relevant) external resources?
