Heading casing

[edit source]
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

Topic development feedback

[edit source]

The topic development submission 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 for 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.

  1. Incorrect title and sub-title
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Overly complicated 3-level structure – simplify
  3. Messy heading structure – needs work
  4. Consider adopting closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  5. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections
  6. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings
  7. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  1. Simplify/abbreviate - move detail into subsequent sections
  2. Put the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest
  3. A brief description of the problem/topic is provided
  4. Focus questions are promising but overly complicated. They look a bit ChatGPT-ish? Acknowledge in edit summaries if using AI, otherwise it violates academic integrity.
  5. Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended
  1. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Remove overcapitalisation (e.g., theories should not be capitalised)
  3. Simplification needed - identify the most relevant theory, research, and examples, and concentrate on those rather than trying to cover too much territory/detail
  4. Good balance of theory and research
  5. Extremely well cited - but will need to be selective
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Well developed
  1. A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited
  2. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  1. Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  2. Promising use quiz question(s) - remove heading and embed in relevant sections
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies, table(s) etc.
  1. Good
  2. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  3. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. italicisation
    2. doi formatting
  1. Not developed
  1. Created – minimal, but sufficient
  2. Add description about self
  3. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter
  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.

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a very good chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Very good
  2. No citations?
  3. Expand the case study; provide more concrete examples
  4. Clear, detailed focus questions
  1. A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Some of the theoretical content is overly broad (e.g., related cognitive processes). Concentrate instead on the relationship between EFT and DD
  3. There is too much content about the separate concepts of EFT and DD and not enough about their relationship
  4. Some embedded links to other chapters
  5. Build more strongly on other related chapters
  6. Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  7. No use of tables and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  8. Key citations are well used
  9. Insufficient use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Very good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful.
  4. Basic critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  5. 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
  1. Very good integration between theory and research
  2. The earlier parts of the chapter place more emphasis on theory than on research
  1. Very good to excellent summary and conclusion
  2. Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest
  3. Key points are well summarised
  4. Some practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good
    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
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter structure is overly complicated; consider how to synthesise
    2. 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)
    2. Figures
      1. Figures are well captioned
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
    3. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
      2. List multiple citations in alphabetical order by first author surname
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Include hyperlinked dois
  1. Very good use of learning features
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles
  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. No use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  8. The quiz questions could be improved by being more focused on the key points and/or take-home messages
  9. Minimal use of case studies or examples
  10. Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Use bullet points per Tutorial 02
  11. Good use of external links in the "External links" section
