Comments[edit source]

Hey I just wanted to suggest you look at contrasting cultures like america and islam and the self esteem presented by individuals. Very interesting chapter and looking forward to reading it. All the best Iga.leszczynska (discusscontribs) 02:19, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

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[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted

User page[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. Description about self provided – consider expanding
  3. Link(s) provided to professional profile(s), but access not permitted?
  4. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. 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.

Headings[edit source]

  1. Basic, mostly 2-level heading structure – would benefit from further development
  2. 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.
  3. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings

Key points[edit source]

  1. Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  3. Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  4. Use bullet points (see Tutorial 02)
  5. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  6. Overview - Consider:
    1. adding a brief, evocative description of the problem
    2. developing the focus questions to focus more specifically on the relationship between culture and self-esteem
    3. an image
    4. an example or case study
  7. 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.
  8. The use of general motivational theories is unnecessary. Focus instead on psychological theory that helps to explain the relationships between culture and self-esteem.
  9. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  10. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  11. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  12. Consider including more examples/case studies
  13. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Underway
    2. Can be improved by focusing more on the relationship between culture and self-esteem
    3. In a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?
  14. 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.

Figure[edit source]

  1. A figure is presented
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text

References[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. alphabetical order
    2. capitalisation
    3. italicisation
    4. doi formatting
    5. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Overview[edit source]

  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. Promising focus question(s)

Theory – Breadth[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected and reasonably well described and explained
  2. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory

Theory – Depth[edit source]

  1. Insightful 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
  5. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts

Research – Key findings[edit source]

  1. Reasonably good review of relevant research
  2. It could help to say more about the extent to which self-esteem is related to other indicators of psychology well-being and performance.
  3. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  4. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful

Research – Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Good 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

Integration[edit source]

  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated

Conclusion[edit source]

  2. The practical, take-home message(s) are excellent

Written expression – Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences
    3. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
  2. Layout
    1. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  3. Grammar
    1. 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.
  4. 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
    2. Figures
      1. Figures are very well captioned
      2. Figure captions use the correct format
      3. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation)
    3. Tables
      1. Table captions should use APA style. See example
      2. Refer to each Table using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation)
    4. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation
      2. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      3. Include hyperlinked dois

Written expression – Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is very good
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Excellent use of image(s)
  5. Good use of table(s)
  6. Excellent use of feature box(es)
  7. Good use of quiz(zes)
  8. Very good use of case studies or examples
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Links to more relevant chapters could be used.
  10. Basic use of external links in the "External links" sections

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~7 logged, useful, minor/moderate/major social contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. Thanks very much for your extensive contributions
  3. ~3 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess
