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

User page[edit source]

  1. Created – minimal, but sufficient
  2. 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.
  3. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. At least one contribution has been made and summarised with indirect link(s) to evidence
  2. 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. Logical, 2-level heading structure
  2. Could benefit from further development at the 2nd heading level. As you get to know the literature about EV motivations better, the heading structure in that section can evolve.
  3. Keep the initial part relatively simple/brief (What is EVing), so that you can concentrate on the EV motivations. Similarly, it is good to know something about benefits, but this is not as important as the motivations.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Check out the functional motivation approach that was discussed in Tutorial 03; there is some EVing motivation literature that uses this approach.
  3. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. a brief, evocative description of the problem
    2. an image
    3. an example or case study
  4. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  5. Promising use of 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. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Underway

Figure[edit source]

  1. A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text

References[edit source]

  1. Excellent
    1. I've made some minor changes

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent

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. I suspect that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter.
  3. Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section
  4. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  5. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Basic Overview
  2. Explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
  4. Basic focus question(s). Only one question directly relates to the target topic.

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 of use of relevant psychological theory

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

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. 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

Integration[edit source]

  1. Insufficient integration of relevant theory and research

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Basic summary
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s) in response to each focus question

Written expression – Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    2. Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2]
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences
  2. Layout
    1. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
  3. 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. Abbreviations
      1. Avoid over-use of abbreviations; better to spell out
    3. 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)
    4. Tables
      1. Table captions should use APA style. See example
      2. Tables are referred to using APA style
      3. Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
    5. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
      2. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation

Written expression – Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic
  2. Two uses 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. Good use of image(s)
  5. Basic use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes)
  8. No use of case studies as examples
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~3 logged, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence

Feedback on chapter[edit source]

This chapter would benefit a lot by drawing in the following theories:
  1. Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of needs,
  2. Alderfer's ERG theory,
  3. McClelland's achievement motivation theory,

These theories would explain the motivations for volunteering and how we could encourage more people to become environmental volunteers. For example you could say that people are motivated to become volunteers The chapter could also have a short section about eco-anxiety and how that is a motivator for volunteering.
