APA referencing Suggestions

Hi there,

The referencing template used does not allow for the title of the journal and the volume to be italicized as is required by APA referencing.

(For example). Title of journal: Motivation and emotion, volume 40.

Baumeister, R. F. (2016). Toward a general theory of motivation: Problems, challenges, opportunities, and the big picture. Motivation and emotion, 40(1), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11031-015-9521-y

Italicized text: Motivation and emotion, 40

You need to add two apostrophe's (not the quotation marks!) before and after the text to italicize within this template. U3162201 (discuss • contribs) 03:00, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

General feedback

Hey! just wanted to put some general feedback here as the assignment is due tomorrow. You have one heading with nothing written below, I would look to delete this section or add some information below it :) JaimeTegan (discuss • contribs) 06:28, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

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 an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Basic Overview Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest Clear focus question(s) Theory – Breadth Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained Excellent description of Hofstede's approach Could provide more consideration UA as an individual difference variable (e.g., describe and link to uncertainty tolerance). The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Theory – Depth Insightful depth is provided about the selected theory(ies) Key citations are well used Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts Research – Key findings Relevant research is well reviewed Research – Critical thinking Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident Table could be summarised, with a link to more detail. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration Discussion of theory and research is well integrated Conclusion Key points are well summarised Add practical, take-home message(s) for each focus question Written expression – Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words. "People" is often a better term than "individuals" 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 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. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) APA style Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words 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) Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10) 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 Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation) Tables Table captions should use APA style. See example Refer to each Table using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation) 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) References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Include hyperlinked dois Written expression – Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is very good Very good 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) Basic use of table(s) Good use of feature box(es) Basic use of quiz(zes) Good use of case studies or examples Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Good use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~1 logged minor social contributions with direct links to evidence

Overall Overall, this is a good presentation 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. This presentation has an engaging introduction to hook audience interest A context for the topic is established Contents slide useful. Maybe even better, 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 An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little The presentation is well structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion) The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research The presentation includes citations The presentation makes good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with basic take-home message(s) Audio The audio is reasonably easy to follow Audio communication is well paced Good intonation enhances listener interest and engagement The narration is well polished Audio recording quality was OK. Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Video Overall, visual display quality is good The presentation makes good use of text and image based slides The font size is mostly sufficiently large to make it easy to read Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read (e.g., Introduction) Consider using a sans-serif typeface to make the text easier to read The amount of text presented per slide makes it reasonably easy to read and listen at the same time The visual communication is supplemented by images and/or diagrams. Consider using a larger size for some diagrams (e.g., Individual Motivation). 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 brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. A link to the book chapter is not provided A link from the book chapter is provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated Ideally, provide clickable links to the original image sources (e.g., in the description) A copyright license for the presentation is provided
