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

Title[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  3. Capitalisation of the title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents

User page[edit source]

  1. Created - minimal, but sufficient
  2. Brief 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.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. 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.

Headings[edit source]

  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  3. Promising 2-level heading structure - could be improved by concentrating the structure around the motivations for malingering

Key points[edit source]

  1. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. a description of the problem
    2. an image
    3. an example or case study
  2. What is the prevalence of malingering?
  3. What about subclinical malingering? (e.g., doesn't everyone exaggerate their symptoms at some point to gain extra attention, sympathy, time off work etc.?)
  4. Excellent use of examples/case studies. However, the Coppola case study needs to be abbreviated.
  5. Good emphasis on practical solutions and strategies
  6. Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  7. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  8. Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  9. Use bullet points (see Tutorial 1 - Using Wikiversity)
  10. For sections which include sub-section include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  11. Good balance of theory and research
  12. Good use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  13. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. well developed
    2. emphasise the take-home message in response to the sub-title question
    3. what does malingering tell/show us about motivation - why do people malinger? and what can be done about it?

Figure[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. Well done on creating and uploading your own image!
  3. Caption explains how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  4. Cite each figure at least once in the main text

References[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation
    3. separate page numbers by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Resources[edit source]

  1. None provided

Suggestion[edit source]

Wow! I have just read some of your chapter and can tell there was a lot of effort put in it so far! Just a suggestion which has already been mentioned is sentence casing! Just make sure your headings are correctly formatted so you don't lose marks! Good luck!--U3204694 (discusscontribs) 06:05, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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 successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Well over the maximum word count, hence content beyond 4000 words is ignored for marking purposes.
  3. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter.
  4. There is feedback about the topic development that has been ignored, so it is not repeated in these book chapter comments.
  5. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Reasonably good Overview.
  2. Explains the problem or phenomenon.
  3. Clear focus question(s).
  4. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Relevant theory is well explained.

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Excessive depth is provided about the selected theory(ies), contributing to the chapter being over the maximum word count.
  2. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts, but these examples could be abbreviated.
  3. Place more emphasis on explaining the underlying theoretical constructs than methods of measurement.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Basic overview of relevant research.
  2. There is excessive detail about measurement tools - these could be summarised more briefly (e.g., in a table).
  3. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Basic 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. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. The Conclusion doesn't fit within the maximum word count.

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good.
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    3. Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
    2. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
  3. Grammar
    1. Check and make correct use of commas.
    2. Check and correct use of semi-colons (;) and colons (:).
  4. 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. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are very well captioned.
      2. Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example.
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    4. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Full-stops should come after citations, not before (e.g., ". (Alozai & McPherson, 2021)" -> " (Alozai & McPherson, 2021)."
      2. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses.
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[1]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. "Retrieved from" is no longer used (APA style, 7th ed.)
      4. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      5. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic.
  2. Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. # 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.
  3. Basic use of image(s).
  4. No use of table(s).
  5. Good use of feature box(es).
  6. No use of quiz(zes).
  7. Promising use of case studies or examples.
  8. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
  9. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section.
