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

Headings[edit source]

Key points[edit source]

  1. Overview:
    1. Excellent content
    2. But long opening paragraph - consider making the start more accessible e.g., consider adding
      1. focus questions
      2. an image
      3. an example or case study
  2. Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms.
  3. Use APA style 7th ed for citations e.g., for 3 or more authors go straight to Firstauthor et al. (year).
  4. For sections which include sub-section include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings.
  5. Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) - more info
  6. Refer to figure
  7. No bullet-points for most sections.
  8. Expand theory and research.
  9. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. hasn't been developed
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question in the sub-title?

Figure[edit source]

  1. A figure is presented
  2. Expand caption
  3. Reduce image size
  4. Figure 1 should be in italics

References[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. alphabetical order
    2. doi formatting - should be a working hyperlink

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Use bullet-points
    2. The link is very general - replace with more specific links

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 valuable chapter that successfully explains the holistic are needs of the imminmently dying.
  2. It could be improved by summarising the content about physical (and linking to other related resources), so that the content about psychological care related to managing emotions about palliative living and emotions about mortality could be expanded. The coverage of COVID is interesting, but perhaps not as important as providing greater depth about the core topic.
  3. This chapter is over the maximum word count.
  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. Well developed Overview.
  2. Clear focus question(s).
  3. Excellent case study example.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories about holistic care are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. Psychology theory was very good, but quite general and mostly drawn from the textbook.

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.
  2. Greater depth about managing the emotions of the imminently dying would be ideal.
  3. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information.
  4. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of relevant research.
  2. 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 reasonably well integrated.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Well developed.
  2. Clear take-home messages.

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
  2. Proofreading is generally very good.
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation (why are so many words capitalised?).
  3. 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. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation, no need for attribution - this is available via clicking on the image).
      3. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    3. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
    4. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[1]

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is very good.
  2. Format numbered lists, per Tutorial 1.
  3. Use bullet points (e.g., for the External links section).
  4. Move academic sources in the external links section into the References (and cite them) - or don't include them. External links is for other, non-academic sources.
  5. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
  6. 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.
  7. Excellent creation and use of image(s).
  8. Very good use of table(s).
  9. Very good use of feature box(es).
  10. No use of quiz(zes).
  11. Excellent use of case studies or examples.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an insufficient presentation.

  1. The sub-title is incorrect on the opening slide - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. Briefly explain why this topic is important.

Content[edit source]

  1. The case study should be abbreviated to help bring the presentation within the time limit.
  2. This presentation doesn't adequately address the topic.
  3. The selection of content is poor because it doesn't adequately use the most relevant psychological theory and/or research to address the topic.
  4. The presentation makes little use of relevant psychological theory.
  5. The presentation makes no use of relevant psychological research.
  6. The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. The Conclusion did not fit within the time limit.

Audio[edit source]

  1. The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio.
  2. Audio recording quality was excellent.

Video[edit source]

  1. Overall, visual display quality is poor.
