Comments[edit source]

I would love to see this applied to an example of a real life case study, to see how it worked in the real world.--JulesCro (discusscontribs) 18:11, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I really enjoyed looking at how you set this out, really helpful and the use of the figures helps explain your evidence, perhaps a more specific integration of them in the final chapter would enhance the chapter.--Cedevlin9 (discusscontribs) 02:15, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be:

== Cats and mice ==

rather than

== Cats and Mice ==

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 insufficient chapter.
  2. Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations
  3. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  4. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter
  5. Ideally, this would serve as a gateway chapter to other needs-related chapters by providing embedded links to those chapters.
  6. For additional feedback, see the following comments and [ these copyedits]

Overview[edit source]

  1. Basic Overview
  2. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
  3. Clear focus question(s)

Theory – Breadth[edit source]

  1. Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided
  2. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)

Theory – Depth[edit source]

  1. Basic depth is provided about the selected theory(ies)
  2. Tables and/or lists could be used more effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts

Research – Key findings[edit source]

  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological research
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful
  3. Lack of sufficient citation

Research – Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Insufficient 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. considering the strength of relationships
    3. acknowledging limitations
    4. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)

Integration[edit source]

  1. Insufficient integration of relevant theory and research

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Key points are well summarised
  2. Clear take-home message(s)

Written expression – Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills
    2. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") 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. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
    4. See earlier comments about heading casing
  2. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some 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. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[2]
    3. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect
  3. 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.
    2. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  4. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
  5. APA style
    1. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10)
    2. Replace double spaces with single spaces
    3. Figures
      1. Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style
      3. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation)
    4. Very few references :(
    5. 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 insufficient
  2. No 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. One use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic 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. Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Also include links to relevant Wikipedia articles.
  11. Poor use of external links in the "External links" section. Move academic articles into References. See Tutorial 02 for how to format external links.

Social contribution[edit source]

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

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. 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 a very good/ presentation

Overview[edit source]

  1. An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Also narrate.
  2. This presentation has a basic introduction to engage audience interest
  3. Briefly explain why this topic is important
  4. An Overview of topics is provided (helpful).
  5. Consider pushing these topics into focus questions (requires more indepth thinking)

Content[edit source]

  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation somewhat addresses the topic
  3. An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little
  4. It could be helpful to point the ERG model as a simplified version of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It may also be helpful to point out the alternative two-level model (deficit vs. growth needs).
  5. The presentation is well structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion)
  6. The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological theory
  7. The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological research
  8. The presentation includes citations
  9. The presentation makes excellent use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice
  10. The presentation provides practical, easy to understand information

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. A Conclusion slide is presented. Include the take-home message(s)
  2. Yes, people are motivated by different things, but the ERG model (like Maslow's hierarchy of needs) that lower levels need to be reasonably satisfied in order to support pursuit of higher needs.

Audio[edit source]

  1. The audio is easy to follow
  2. The presentation makes effective use of narrated audio
  3. Audio communication is clear and well paced
  4. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
  5. Good intonation enhances listener interest and engagement
  6. The narration is well polished
  7. Audio recording quality was poor. Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard and/or mouse clicks were audible). Consider using an external microphone.

Video[edit source]

  1. Overall, visual display quality is very good
  2. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides
  3. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read
  4. Consider using a sans-serif typeface to make the text easier to read
  5. The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time
  6. The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by images and/or diagrams
  7. The presentation is well produced using simple tools
  8. Hide the presentation tools in the bottom-left

Meta-data[edit source]

  1. The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Check capitalisation.
  2. A written description of the presentation is not provided.
  3. Links to and from the book chapter are provided. However a mobile link to the chapter is provided - use a desktop link (mobiles will adjust automatically).
  4. The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids. This introduces limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist. More info.

Licensing[edit source]

  1. Image sources are communicated
  2. Ideally, provide clickable links to the original image sources (e.g., in the description)
  3. This presentation has probably violated the copyrights of image owners as images appear to have been used without permission
  4. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided
