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

Overview[edit source]

    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research

  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Key points are well summarised.

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we" or "our") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
  3. Grammar
    1. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[2].
    2. Check and correct use of that vs. who.
  4. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
  5. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
    2. For example, spaces are needed after full-stops.
  6. APA style
    1. 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).
    2. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Check and correct placement of commas.
      2. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses.
      3. 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)
      4. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname.
    3. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      3. Include hyperlinked dois

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic.
  2. 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.
  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. Very good use of image(s).
  5. No use of table(s).
  6. No use of feature box(es).
  7. Good use of quiz(zes).
  8. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end.
  9. No use of case studies or examples.
  10. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
  11. No use of external links in the "External links" section.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~ logged, useful, minor/moderate/major social contributions with direct links to evidence.
  2. ~ logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess.
  3. Contributions made across three platforms.
  4. No logged social contributions.
