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

Suggestions for this chapter

[edit source]

Hello! I love what you have done with the book chapter so far regarding AHS. I would like to suggest using Case Study boxes, Example boxes, and adding in some more interactive features to engage the audience more and make it a more dynamic learning experience.

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.
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Promising, logical 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the 2nd-level structure

Heading casing and images

[edit source]

Hi,

Your book chapter is progressing nicely. Just a few minor suggestions, perhaps consider adding more images to engage the audience and adding a label in the description in italics (e.g. Figure 1., Figure 2.). Some of the heading casings need another look (e.g. 'Barriers to Academic Help Seeking' should become 'Barriers to academic help-seeking'). Overall, great work!

Hi, the chapter looks nice and the idea is great yet I think in the overview, it good to define the topic and address the questions to giving directions to the reader. Here's some information I think is useful for you.

Book 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 an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem
  2. Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. The Overview is underdeveloped
  2. Explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
  4. Add focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader and structure the chapter
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained
  2. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory
  3. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  1. Very good depth is provided about the selected theory(ies)
  2. Key citations are well used
  3. Tables and/or lists could be used more effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  4. Useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Relevant research is well reviewed
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful
  1. Excellent critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  2. Claims are referenced
  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated
  1. Key points are well summarised, with take-home messages
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good
    2. Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored") [1][2]
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
  2. Layout
    1. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections
    2. See earlier comments about heading casing
  3. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[3] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    2. Figures
      1. Figures are very well captioned
      2. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    3. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      2. Include hyperlinked dois
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is good
  2. Minimal use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding 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. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. No use of quiz(zes)
  8. Very good use of case studies or examples. Consider using more culturally diverse names.
  9. Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Also include Wikipedia links.
  10. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~10 logged, minor, mostly end-of-semester social contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. Use a numbered list
