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.
None summarised with direct link(s) to evidence – this was covered in Tutorial 03. Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see how to earn marks for social contributions.
Basic, mostly 2-level heading structure – would benefit from further development
Remove or significantly reduce the general self-esteem content. Instead, provide a brief summary and provide an embedded link the chapter about self-esteem so that the current chapter can focus on the relationship between culture and self-esteem.
Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
Overview - Consider:
adding a brief, evocative description of the problem
developing the focus questions to focus more specifically on the relationship between culture and self-esteem
an image
an example or case study
Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
The use of general motivational theories is unnecessary. Focus instead on psychological theory that helps to explain the relationships between culture and self-esteem.
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
For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
Consider including more examples/case studies
Conclusion (the most important section):
Underway
Can be improved by focusing more on the relationship between culture and self-esteem
In a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?
I recommend using the Studiosity service and/or a service like Grammarly to help improve the quality of written expression because there are a lot of grammatical errors.

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, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills
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"
Layout
Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
Grammar
The grammar for many 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.
Proofreading
More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
Figures
Figures are very well captioned
Figure captions use the correct format
Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation)
Overall, the use of learning features is very good
Basic 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.
Basic 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.
Excellent use of image(s)
Good use of table(s)
Excellent use of feature box(es)
Good use of quiz(zes)
Very good use of case studies or examples
Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Links to more relevant chapters could be used.
Basic use of external links in the "External links" sections

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.
Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement
The narration is well practiced
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.
The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
