@U3170318 and Jtneill: I've been on Wikiversity many years but have only recently become active with cleanup (i.e. deleting). Somebody put this up for speedy delete, and this is the first time I encountered such a request on project like this. Please advise.
The quickest way to "advise" is to remove the {{hangon}} template and say (or do) no more.

A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is planned
May be overly detailed/ambitious - keep it brief
Expand focus questions; focus on unpacking KE and motivation

Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonably good but there are several aspects which could be improved towards a professional standard
Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences.
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
Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
Spelling
Some words are misspelt (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
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" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159)
Citations use correct APA style
References use basic APA style:
Check and correct use of italicisation
Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even 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)
Image captions should use APA style
No use of table(s)
Very basic use of feature box(es)
Reasonably good use of case studies or examples
Reasonably good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than as a set of questions at the end
