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

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 see editing changes made whilst reviewing this 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 below may also be about all material on the page at the time of providing this feedback.

Title[edit source]

  1. The title and sub-title are incorrectly worded and formatted

User page[edit source]

  1. Created – minimal, but sufficient
  2. Very brief description about self provided – consider expanding
  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. Add link to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. None summarised with direct link(s) to evidence – this was covered in Tutorial 03. Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see how to earn marks for social contributions.

Headings[edit source]

  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Under-developed, 1-level heading structure – develop further, perhaps using a 2-level structure for the larger section(s)

Key points[edit source]

  1. Promising development of key points
  2. Much of the Overview content could be moved into subsequent sections
  3. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. an evocative description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. an image
    3. an example or case study
  4. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  5. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  6. Consider including more examples/case studies
  7. Avoid overcapitalisation
  8. 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 and/or focus questions?

Figure[edit source]

  1. A relevant figure is not presented

References[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. italicisation

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Not developed
    2. Link to related book chapters
    3. Link to relevant Wikipedia pages
  2. External links
    1. OK, but unclear how this relates to emotion?
    2. Include source in brackets after link

Proofreading and comments[edit source]

Hello there. I really enjoyed reading your chapter so far. You have done a great job at approaching a very sensitive topic. I like how you have emphasized that the problems experienced by First Australians today are problems that were created long ago by colonization.

I also made some minor typo edits on your chapter and changed some of heading s to lower case (as James suggested we do).

Looking forward to reading the final product.

Thank you :) U3215603 (discusscontribs) 06:07, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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. Thank-you for bravely taking on this topic and providing a very readable, interesting, forthright picture of the emotional consequences of colonisation in Australia.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Well developed Overview
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or example and/or using an image
  4. Clear focus question(s)

Theory – Breadth[edit source]

  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)

Theory – Depth[edit source]

  1. Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  2. Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts

Research – Key findings[edit source]

  1. Very good review of relevant research

Research – Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Basic critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  2. 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. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Some claims are referenced
  4. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)

Integration[edit source]

  1. Very good integration between theory and research

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Excellent summary and conclusion
  2. Key points are well summarised
  3. Clear take-home message(s)

Written expression – Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good
    2. Internationalise: Write for an international, rather than domestic, audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population.
    3. The chapter could be improved by developing some of the bullet points into full paragraph format
  2. Layout
    1. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
    2. Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional bold)
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
    2. Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
  4. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., to fix consistency of capitalisation for terms referring to first nations, Indigenous etc.)
  5. APA style
    1. 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)
    2. Write numbers under 10 using words (e.g., five). Write numbers 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 10).
    3. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    4. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    5. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. 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)
      2. Do not include author first name or initials
    6. 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. Some references are incomplete

Written expression – Learning features[edit source]

  1. Excellent use of learning features
  2. One 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 even 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. Very good use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes)
  8. Excellent use of case studies or examples
  9. Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use bullet points per Tutorial 02
    2. Include sources in parentheses

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~2 logged social contributions with direct links to evidence
