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

[edit source]

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 basic, but sufficient chapter.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Basic Overview.
  2. Add focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader and structure the chapter.
  3. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest.
  1. Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided.
  1. Basic depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. Did you consult citations such as (Arnold, 1910; Dewey, 1913)? If not, they should be cited as a secondary sources.
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.
  1. Basic overview of relevant research.
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  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
  1. There is basic integration between theory and research.
  1. Basic summary.
  2. Address the focus questions.
  3. Add practical, take-home message(s).
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good.
  2. Layout
    1. Headings should use default wiki style (e.g., I've removed additional large size).
    2. See earlier comments about heading casing.
  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).
  4. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
  5. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., Interest -> interest; Psychologists -> psychologists).
  6. APA style
    1. Replace double spaces with single spaces.
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.
    3. 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).
    4. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
      2. Figure captions use the correct format.
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    5. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses.
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      4. Include hyperlinked dois
      5. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is insufficient.
  2. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding 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. Basic use of image(s).
  5. No use of table(s).
  6. Excessive use of feature box(es) has been removed.
  7. No use of quiz(zes).
  8. Basic/No use of case studies or examples.
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
  10. Irrelevant use of external links in the "External links" section - links have been removed.
  1. ~2 logged, useful, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence.
