Comments[edit source]

Hi there, I really enjoyed reading your points on the what the hell effect, it is such an interesting phenomenon and I was surprised that I'd never heard of it before! Can't wait to read your full book chapter. I thought it might be useful to add some more interactive features to your chapter. I have found the quizzes to be a really useful tool and have provided the quiz format below. Nice work and good luck!

This is so helpful! I deleted the quiz feature and have been trying to add it back but I kept messing up the code thank you sm! Gracehowie (discusscontribs) 23:56, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I love this chapter, maybe it is a little TOO relatable for me haha! I really enjoy the Youtube videos you have included. They make it extremely interactive and work as an interesting way to learn the topic.



The topic development 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 the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted

User page[edit source]

  1. Excellent - used effectively
  2. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Great to see you on Twitter!
  2. Wikiversity contributions summarised with indirect link(s) to evidence
  3. 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. Promising 2-level heading structure - perhaps could benefit from further development by expanding the structure
  2. Good use of questions as headings
  3. The section "What are some directions for future research?" isn't needed - but could be included. The key is to provide an integrated overview of relevant psychological theory and research, with practical applications.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Main suggestion is to further develop the motivational theory and research
  3. Overview:
    1. Excellent use of opening scenario
    2. good description of the problem and what will be covered, including focus questions
    3. consider adding an image
  4. Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) - even better, write in your own words
  5. Consider including more non-eating examples/case studies (e.g., alcohol, gambling)
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. hasn't been developed
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title?

Figure[edit source]

  1. Excellent - one of the best explanatory captions for an image I've seen
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text

References[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation
    3. doi formatting
    4. page numbers

Resources[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Heading casing[edit source]

Hi Gracehowie. 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

Thank you!! I'll fix that now :)) Gracehowie (discusscontribs) 00:14, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit source]

Hi there!

What an interesting and relatable topic! I particularly enjoyed reading your points on how we can prevent the WTHE from occuring. Nevertheless, I do have some points which I hope help as you finish it off. Firstly, it is extremely important to acknowledge your sources. Doing so will make your work read more clearly, and help you avoid the consequences of plagarism. For example, in the origin paragraph, your opening sentence could instead be: The seminal study in relation to the WTHE was conducted by Polivy et al. (2010). Additionally, the shorter sentence is easier to read, and will help your work flow. Secondly, it is important to introduce your acronym. Here is a link to the APA 7th editions abbreviation guide - https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/abbreviations-guide.pdf . Secondly, you may want to review your use of quotation marks - https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/italics-quotations/quotation-marks . I hope these points help, and all the best with the rest of the semester!

Hey! Thank you so much for the feedback! Fear not though, my chapter is far from done (especially the referencing lol) and I will definitely be correcting all of these pointers today. Gracehowie (discusscontribs) 23:54, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Italics and Figures[edit source]

Hi Grace, This is looking really well developed. I would suggest adding captions for all your figures. It will help to link the images to the material. Also, it looks like you need to put italicise your ref list. this can be done through edit source. I hope this helps, Great work!

    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking.
