Thanks for selecting this topic. Note that some topics are broader and some are narrower. This is one of the broadest topics (which is fine). This means you'll need to concentrate on providing overviews of key aspects of physiological functioning that influence motivation, with some examples, without going into too much depth on any one aspect of physiological motivation.
This chapter should also embed links to other chapters about specific aspects of physiological motivation (e.g., hunger, thirst etc.).
The Reeve textbook chapter, lecture, and tutorials on physiological motivation should provide a useful guide about what the chapter might cover.

Partial development of key points for some sections, with some relevant citations
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.
Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research, with practical examples
I think it could be helpful, like the Reeve (2018) chapter, to select a small number of physiological needs as examples. Then link to the related chapters on these specific physiological needs.
An important purpose of this chapter is to provide a broad framework which connects into the chapters about specific physiological needs.
Very brief description about self provided – consider expanding
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.
None summarised on user page 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, the quality of written expression is basic
Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
No 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.
Good use of image(s)
No use of table(s)
Basic use of feature box(es)
Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
Basic use of case studies or examples
Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
Minimal use of external links in the "External links" section

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.
An opening slide with the sub-title is displayed and narrated. Also display and narrate the title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation and to be consistent with the book chapter.
This presentation has a basic introduction to engage audience interest
Establish a context for the presentation (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand
Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.
Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
The presentation addresses the topic
There is too much content, in too much detail, presented within the allocated time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to cover a small amount of well-targetted content than a large amount of poorly selected content.
The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory
The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research
Include citations on slides to support claims
The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice
The chapter sub-title but not the chapter title is used in the name of the presentation. The title would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
Provide an informative description to help viewers decide whether they want to watch
A link to the book chapter is not provided
A link from the book chapter is provided
The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids. This creates limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist. More info.
