Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a solid chapter that makes good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid Overview
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
  4. Clear focus question(s). Use bullet-points.
  1. Relevant theory is reasonably well explained
  2. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory
  3. Build more strongly on other sleep-related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Sleep)
  1. Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies)
  2. Key citations are well used
  3. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  4. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Reasonably good review of relevant research
  2. Good detail about key studies
  3. Greater overview and synthesis would be ideal (rather than just focusing on one study per point)
  1. Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  2. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated
  1. Key points are well summarised
  2. Clear take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    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"
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
    2. 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. 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 affect vs. effect
  4. 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)
  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. 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. Replace double spaces with single spaces
    3. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    4. Figures
      1. Figures are captioned
      2. Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example
      3. Check and correct numbering
      4. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    5. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Check and correct how to cite an article with two authors
      2. 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. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Provide full journal titles
      2. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      3. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic
  2. Good 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. Good use of feature box(es)
  7. No use of quiz(zes)
  8. Good 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. No logged social contributions

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
  1. An opening slide with the title is displayed very briefly. Also display and narrate the sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. This presentation has a basic introduction. Consider creating a more engaging introduction to hook audience interest.
  3. Establish a context for the topic (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand
  4. Focus questions are presented very briefly (too fast to read). They are not narrated.
  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory
  4. The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological research
  5. Include more citations to support claims
  6. The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice
  1. A Conclusion slide is presented with excellent/very good/good take-home message(s)
  2. A Conclusion slide is presented with a basic summary
  3. The presentation could be strengthened by expanding on the take-home message (e.g., answers to more than one focus question)
  4. What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives based on the best available psychological theory and research about this topic?
  5. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages in response to each focus question
  6. The Conclusion only partly fitted within the time limit
  7. The Conclusion did not fit within the time limit
  1. The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio
  2. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point
  3. Basic intonation
  4. The audio communication could benefit from further practice
  5. Audio recording quality was OK. 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.
  1. Overall, visual display quality is basic
  2. The presentation makes basic 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 could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time
  5. The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by images and/or diagrams
  6. The presentation is basically produced using simple tools
  7. Trim the start and end
  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 written description of the presentation is not provided. Providing an informative description can help viewers decide whether they want to watch or not.
  3. A link to the book chapter is not provided
  4. A link from the book chapter is provided
  1. Image sources and their copyright status are not provided.
  2. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided
