Feedback[edit source]

Looks like a really interesting topic, suggest simplifying some of the language used and expanding on the different theories of emotion such as James-Lange theory, Cannon-Bard Theory and the Cognitive Appraisal Theory. U3191488 (discusscontribs) 13:47, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 basic presentation
  2. The presentation is over the maximum time limit — content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking and feedback purposes

Overview[edit source]

  1. An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation# Consider creating an engaging introduction to hook audience interest
  2. Establish a context for the topic (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand
  3. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.

Content[edit source]

  1. The presentation somewhat addresses the topic
  2. An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little
  3. Overly focused on defining emotion; perhaps instead consider how the ECS facilitates different types of emotion
  4. There was no need to focus on cannabis consumption. The topic here is about the endogenous use of the ECS in emotion.
  5. Perhaps also consider the influence of exercise on the ECS.
  6. The presentation is reasonably well structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion)
  7. The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory
  8. The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research
  9. The presentation includes citations to support claims
  10. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies. Use of cannabis makes sense as an example.
  11. Remove red underline from spell check

  1. A Conclusion slide is presented with a basic summary
  2. The Conclusion only partly fitted within the time limit

  1. Overall, visual display quality is 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. The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time
  5. The visual communication is supplemented by images and/or diagrams
  6. The presentation is basically produced using simple tools

Meta-data[edit source]

  1. The video title does not match the chapter title and sub-title — this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation and be more consistent
  2. A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
  3. Links to and from the book chapter are provided

  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
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful

Research – Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Very good 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

Integration[edit source]

  1. Excellent integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research
  3. Where research is discussed, it is integrated with theory

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Excellent conclusion

Written expression – Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good
    2. Some of the content may have been plagiarised (e.g., https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34264141/)
  2. Get rid of these phrases:
    1. "Conjunctively, ..."
    2. "In correlation to ..."
  3. Layout
    1. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
    2. Use the default heading style (e.g., remove size changes)
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
      1. Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.[2]
      2. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    2. Check and make correct use of commas
    3. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[3]
    4. Use serial commas[4] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    5. Abbreviations
      1. Once an abbreviation is established (e.g., ECS), use it consistently. Don't set up an abbreviation and then not use it or only use it sometimes.
  5. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
  6. Some content was repeated
    1. Figures
      1. Renumber; Figure 1 was removed for copyright violation
      2. Use this format for figure captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    2. 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)
    3. References mostly use correct APA style

Written expression – Learning features[edit source]

  1. Very good use of learning features
  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 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. Basic use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes)
