Comment[edit source]

Hi the chapter is coming together great!, a change id consider making is removing the boxes within the template to show a refined and easy to read chapter topic. yet other than that i feel like your chapter is great>(The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) )

Hello I also think your chapter is coming together really well! One suggestion I have is to maybe provide a bit more information in your captions for your figures so that the audience can interpret them better, for example the figure about the social cognitive theory. Best wishes. --U3202315 (discusscontribs) 18:20, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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 basic, but sufficient chapter.
  2. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Basic Overview.
  2. Consider developing focus questions 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.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided.
  2. The chapter somewhat misses the mark in that it is more about self-regulation than self-regulation failure. Instead, provide embedded links to the self-regulation chapter and concentrate this chapter on theory, research, and practical illustrations of SR failure and how it can be overcome.

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Insufficient depth is provided about the theory(ies) related to self-regulation failure.
  2. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Basic overview of relevant research.
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  2. Insufficient critical thinking about research is evident.
  3. 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. There is basic integration between theory and research.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Basic summary.
  2. Consider reminding the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest.
  3. Add practical, take-home message(s).

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. "People" is often a better term than "individuals".
    3. Use permanent, rather than relative, time references. For example, instead of "20 years ago", refer to something like "at the beginning of the 21st century". In this way, the text will survive better into the future, without needing to be rewritten.
    4. Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
    5. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking.
    6. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
  1. 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.
  2. Grammar
    1. The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] 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.
    2. Use serial commas[1] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min).
    3. Check and make correct use of commas.
    4. Check and correct use of that vs. who.
    5. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.).
  3. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. 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).
    3. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    4. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style for Figure captions. See example.
      2. Each Table and Figure is referred to at least once within the main text.
      3. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).
    5. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses.
      2. 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)
      3. Do not include author initials.
    6. References use correct APA style.
    7. 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. 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. Basic use of image(s).
  5. No use of table(s).
  6. No use of feature box(es).
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes).
  8. No use of case studies or examples.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~1 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess.

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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an insufficient presentation.
  2. The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking and feedback purposes.

Overview[edit source]

  2. Focus questions are presented but not narrated.
  3. Briefly explain why this topic is important.

Content[edit source]

  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section.
  2. The presentation addresses the topic.
