Heading casing

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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:00, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted User page Excellent - used effectively Description about self provided 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. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence. Headings Basic, 1-level heading structure - could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure. See earlier comment about Heading casing. Impact of COVID-19 - this could be used as a case study (although there is still limited evidence), but isn't part of the core topic (i.e., the sub-title). Key points Minimal development of key points - mostly the topic development currently consists of references Overview - Consider adding: a description of the problem and what will be covered focus questions an image an example or case study Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) - more info Move references into the References section - and just include citations in the main body Conclusion (the most important section): hasn't been developed what might the take-home, practical messages be? in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title? Figure A figure is presented. Caption uses APA style. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points about psychology theory or research being made in the main text. Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Good For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation italicisation Resources See also Very good Include source in brackets after link (fixed) Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages External links Very good Include source in brackets after link

Hey! i moved your conclusion section up as there was a bunch of space left in between the conclusion and previous section --Brianna Meddemmen (discuss • contribs) 14:05, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Video Relating to Mental Toughness

Hi there! This is a really great topic and a very interesting read! I am leaving this link here to a speech from the king of mental toughness, David Goggins. He provides insight into why he is so mentally tough (the speech will motivate you to run through a brick wall as well). Hope you enjoy! --Vertese (discuss • contribs) 11:18, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

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 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. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter. Well over the maximum word count (with references included). For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Overview Well developed Overview. Clarity of description of MT could be improved. Consider mentioning relationship with closely relate constructs such as psychological resilience. Useful example. Clear focus question(s). Theory — Breadth Relevant theory is reasonably well explained. A deeper conceptual unpacking of MT would be helpful. Useful to have comparison and contrast with related constructs. Build more strongly on other resilience-related chapters (e.g., by incorporating embedded links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Psychological resilience). Theory — Depth Reasonable depth is provided about the selected theory(ies). Place more emphasis on explaining the underlying theoretical constructs (more interesting) than methods of measurement (less interesting). Relates to Table 1. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts. Research — Key findings Good overview of relevant research. Research — Critical thinking Good critical thinking about research is evident. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags). Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: considering the strength of relationships acknowledging specific limitations suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Discussion of theory and research is reasonably well integrated. Conclusion The Conclusion is rather abstract and vague. What are the answers to the sub-title/focus questions? What are the practical, take-home messages? Written expression — Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonable. Well over maximum word count. Clarity of written expression can be improved (e.g., see tags such as , , and which have been added). Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections. Grammar The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance. Abbreviations Once an abbreviation is established (e.g., PTSD), use it consistently. Don't set up an abbreviation and then not use it or only use it sometimes. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour). APA style Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. 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). Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10). Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words. Figures and tables APA style is used for Figure captions. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text. Use APA style for Table captions. See example. Refer to each Table using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation). Figures are very captioned. Citations use correct APA style. References use correct APA style, but in a separate document rather than being provided in the wiki page. Written expression — Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is basic. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example. 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. Excellent use of image(s). Basic use of table(s). Good use of feature box(es). Basic use of quiz(zes). Basic use of case studies or examples. Social contribution ~17 logged, useful, mostly minor, mostly end-of-semester social contributions with direct links to evidence.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a good presentation. Overview The sub-title is missing on the opening slide - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Narrate the title/sub-title slide on the opening slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Briefly explain why this topic is important. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. Consider spending a little more time on the Overview and a little less on the Conclusion. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section. The presentation addresses the topic. An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little. The presentation is well structured. The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological theory. The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological research. The presentation makes good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice. Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with good take-home message(s). Perhaps there could be some more practical messaging (e.g., how can one develop MT?). Audio The audio is easy to follow. The presentation makes good use of narrated audio. Audio communication is well paced. The audio communication is a little hesitant in some places - could benefit from further practice. Audio recording quality was excellent. Video Overall, visual display quality is very good. The presentation makes effective use of animated slides with text and images. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time. The presentation is well produced. Meta-data The chapter title but not the sub-title is used in the name of the presentation - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A written description of the presentation is not provided. Links to and from the book chapter are provided. Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are not provided. Probably the images are all from PowToon but this is not explicitly stated. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.

Hi, this chapter looks really great !

As I am currently working on a project proposal to implement mental toughness in firefighters, I have a suggested source that might come in handy. This source looked at two specialised programs to implement mental toughness in AFL players called the Penn Resiliency Program and the master resilience training. If you get a chance I would encourage you to have a look :)
