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.
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.
Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
Overview - Consider adding:
an evocative description of the problem and what will be covered
focus questions
an image
an example or case study
Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research; this doesn't necessarily mean separate theory, research, and integration sections. Perhaps consider the focus questions first that could help to answer the topic (i.e., the sub-title question). Then consider using headings that tackle each focus question.
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
Consider including more examples/case studies
Conclusion (the most important section):
Under developed
What might the take-home, practical messages be?
In a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?

Hi, I found some references that could be useful for you :)
1) Ballmann, C. G. (2021). The Influence of Music Preference on Exercise Responses and Performance: A Review. Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 6(2), 33. doi:10.3390/jfmk6020033
2) Karow, M. C., Rogers, R. R., Pederson, J. A., Williams, T. D., Marshall, M. R., & Ballmann, C. G. (2020). Effects of Preferred and Nonpreferred Warm-Up Music on Exercise Performance. Perceptual and Motor Skills, 003151252092824. doi:10.1177/0031512520928244
3) Ballmann, C. G., Cook, G. D., Hester, Z. T., Kopec, T. J., Williams, T. D., & Rogers, R. R. (2020). Effects of Preferred and Non-Preferred Warm-Up Music on Resistance Exercise Performance. Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 6(1), 3. doi:10.3390/jfmk6010003
4) Ballmann, C. G., McCullum, M. J., Rogers, R. R., Marshall, M. M., & Williams, T. D. (2018). Effects of Preferred vs. Nonpreferred Music on Resistance Exercise Performance. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 1. doi:10.1519/jsc.0000000000002981
The overall findings of these are that listening to your preferred music should improve your motivation, power, heart rate, and performance (When compared to no music or non-preferred music). However, music has no effect on your perceived exertion.
This means that, music motivates and improves our motivation to exercise and our performance. But it doesn't lessen the strain that exercise has on our bodies.

Hi, good job adding paragraph headings, topic sentences and paragraph plans as we discuss. The next thing I would suggest is to start writing sentences in your paragraph plan.
(e.g. turning " - Lack of effect on maximum muscle strength" into "It is true music can motivate people to start exercising and has many positive effects on your performance. However, *Reference and Reference* found that listening to music has little to no effect on one's maximum output or strength" )
After which, start linking the individual sentences in your paragraphs together, then link your different paragraphs to one another.

Hey! good work on your book chapter so far, I have found this article Kao, T.-a., & Oxford, R. L. (2014). Learning language through music: A strategy for building inspiration and motivation. System, 43, 114-120. https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.system.2014.01.003
about how music can motivate people to learn new language, thought it might be interesting to have a read over. Hope it helps! --U3230861 (discuss • contribs) 07:00, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

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, this is a solid chapter that makes reasonably good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
Probably too long. Move detailed content in subsequent sections. The purpose of the Overview is to briefly explain the topic, engage reader interest, and establish focus questions for the chapter. Focus less on motivation in general, even exercise, and more on the relationship between music and exercise motivation.
Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
Add focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader and structure the chapter
Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
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.
Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning
Layout
Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections
Grammar
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.
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)
Figures
Figures are very well captioned
Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example
Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
References are not in full APA style. For example:
Overall, the use of learning features is insufficient
Minimal 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.
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.
Basic use of image(s)
No use of table(s)
No use of feature box(es)
No use of quiz(zes)
No use of case studies or examples
Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
Basic use of external links in the "External links" section

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.
The audio is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to listen to
Audio communication is well paced
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.
Excellent intonation enhances listener interest and engagement
The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
