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

    3. an example or case study
    4. last focus question could be more about everyday applications/uses/suggestions than research

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter
  2. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Basic Overview
  2. Briefly 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)
  1. Reasonably good coverage of relevant theory is provided
  2. Overly focused on definitions
  3. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  1. Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  2. Basic use of tables and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts
  1. Basic overview 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
  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 unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Reasonably good integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than research
  1. Basic summary
  2. Address the focus questions
  3. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good
    2. The chapter could be improved by developing some of the bullet-points into full paragraph format
    3. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    4. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
  2. 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.[1]
      2. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    2. Use serial commas[2] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    3. Check and correct use of that vs. who
  3. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  4. 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. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Figure captions should use this format: 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)
    3. Citations use correct APA style
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Include hyperlinked dois
  1. Basic 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)
  8. Basic use of case studies or examples
  9. No use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. No use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~2 logged, useful, minor/moderate/major social contributions with direct links to evidence
