Hey! Thank you so much for those contributions, they were a fantastic reference point and helped me expand my research :) U3190773 (discuss • contribs) 20:29, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hey, great work on your chapter. I've done some proof-reading and corrected some spelling and grammatical inconsistencies. I've also changed pretty much all your references to APA style (where I could find the source). I know it's last minute, but two suggestions that I would make would be removing references from your reference list that are not cited in the main body of your text, and including an introductory sentence or two under section headings before using a subheading! I hope you have time to look over those quickly. Good luck, U3141987 (discuss • contribs) 00:20, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi U3190773. 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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 01:01, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

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 The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted; missing comma added User page Created – minimal, but sufficient Brief description about self provided – consider expanding 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. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution At least one contribution has been made and summarised in a numbered list with direct link(s) to evidence Use a numbered list (see Tutorial 02) Headings Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development to limit the emphasis on background information and expand the focus on the target topic Rather than the distinction between "major" and "minor", I suggest focusing on the main types of psychological distress (e.g., anxiety, depression, stress) and then providing embedded wiki links to the dedicated book chapters or Wikipedia articles about these topics. The idea is that this chapter is a gateway chapter into the more detailed chapters about aspects and types of psychological distress (e.g., see Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Psychopathology. It might make more sense to engage in theory earlier on, or to embed coverage of theory (and research) into the sections about types of distress and what can be done about it. There are too many general theories here; suggest concentrating on say, a cognitive and a biological approach. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Key points Basic development of key points for most sections, 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 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): Hasn't been 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? Figure A relevant figure is presented The caption should more clearly relate the image to the main text not just describe the image Cite each figure at least once in the main text References OK For APA referencing style, check and correct: alphabetical order capitalisation italicisation doi formatting page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Use either APA style or wiki referencing style, but not both. Currently, a mixture of referencing styles is used. Resources See also OK Rename links so that they are more user friendly (see Tutorial 02) Include source in brackets after link External links Not developed

Book chapter review and feedback

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 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 Ideally, this would function as a gateway chapter to more specific chapters, with more embedded links, for example, to other chapters about time management, diet etc. To some extent, this was done for the chapter about nature and psychological distress (see suggested rewording). Over-use of non-peer reviewed academic citations Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Solid Overview Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon Example could target a broader audience (have reworded a little) Clear focus question(s) Theory – Breadth Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory Builds somewhat on previous, related chapters Theory – Depth Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies) Tables and/or lists could be used more effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts Non-peer reviewed sources are overused as citations – instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources Research – Key findings Reasonably good review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful Research – Critical thinking Basic critical thinking about research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims are referenced Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration There is basic integration between theory and research Conclusion Key points are well summarised Some basic take-home message(s) are provided Written expression – Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is good Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences "People" is often a better term than "individuals" Reduce use of weasel words (e.g., "with this in consideration") which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections Grammar Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and agenerally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min) Abbreviations Explain abbreviations (spell out) (e.g., HPA) when they are first introduced Spelling Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Figures Figures are very well captioned Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation) Citations use correct APA style References use almost correct APA style Written expression – Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is very good Excellent 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. One 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. Links to non-peer-reviewed sources should be moved to the external links section Very good use of image(s) No use of table(s) Good use of feature box(es) Basic use of quiz(zes) Basic use of case studies or examples Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Include source in parentheses. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section. Include source in parentheses. Social contribution Use a numbered list ~10 logged, useful, minor social contributions, mostly towards the end of semester, mostly with direct links to evidence

Multimedia presentation feedback

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 Overall, this is a basic presentation The presentation is under the maximum time limit, so there was room for further development of the ideas Overview An opening slide with the title is displayed. Also display and narrate the sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Consider creating an engaging introduction to hook audience interest A context for the topic is established Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation addresses the topic in a basic way The presentation somewhat addresses the topic The content is light on The presentation is well structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion) The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes little to no use of relevant psychological research The presentation includes some citations to support claims The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with basic take-home message(s) Audio The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Basic intonation The audio communication is hesitant in some places — could benefit from further practice 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. Video Overall, visual display quality is basic The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides Some of the font size could be larger to make it easier to read The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools Meta-data 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 written description of the presentation is provided Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources are communicated in a general way. Also provide links to each image and the license details. A copyright license for the presentation is provided in the presentation description but not in the meta-data
