Added useful links[edit source]

Hi @Sasha-160499: for my social contribution I have added some useful links under the Psychedelics and anxiety section of your chapter. I am focusing on a similar topic and I found these to be extremely informative and interesting articles. I hope you find them useful too! The articles are "Analysis of Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy in Medicine: A Narrative Review", "Developing Guidelines and Competencies for the Training of Psychedelic Therapists", and "Learning to Let Go: A Cognitive-Behavioral Model of How Psychedelic Therapy Promotes Acceptance". Looking forward to reading your chapter! --SammyTabrett (discusscontribs) 07:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Initial suggestions[edit source]

@Sasha-160499: Thanks for tackling this topic.

Some initial suggestions:

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along.

Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:52, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Case study suggestions[edit source]

Hi @Sasha-160499: I really like where this is headed so far, particularly how you plan to interweave the case study throughout. If you can find something appropriate, maybe you can make the case studies more engaging by adding a small icon in the corner of each one that aligns with its topic/focus? --U3213682 (discusscontribs) 06:11, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Edits[edit source]

Hi Sasha, I just wanted to let you know that I have edited one of your headings as per a suggestion from James on my own page where the headings should be written in sentence casing. This means only the first letter should be in a capital letter, the rest in lower cases. For example: What are Psychedelics should be What are psychadelics. I'll leave you to edit the rest of your headings! Good luck with the assignment! Laura --Lauraei11 (discusscontribs) 09:36, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply


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.

Title[edit source]

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

Headings[edit source]

  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Basic, 1-level heading structure – would benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure
  3. Focus on global perspective, although Australia could be used as a case study (but remove heading)
  4. There is not enough in the headings about P and A - it focuses on P

Overview[edit source]

  1. Good start; needs work
  2. Move scenario to top; consider adding an image to help attract reader interest
  3. Zero in more quickly on P and A - rather than spending too much time on A
  4. The last focus question is suitable; consider revising the first three because there are too broad. Focus on P and A.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Problematic due to insufficient focus on P and A; almost exclusively focuses on P
  2. 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.
  3. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  4. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Hasn't been developed
    2. What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?)

Figure[edit source]

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

Learning feature[edit source]

  1. Include 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 of example(s)/case study(ies)
  3. Consider including more quiz question(s), table(s) etc.

References[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Used effectively
  2. Description about self provided
  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

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence

Book chapter review and feedback[edit source]

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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Well over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words (i.e., See also, References, and External links) has been ignored for marking purposes.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Well developed
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or example
  4. Clear focus question(s)
  5. Ideally, provide open-ended, rather than closed-ended focus questions

Theory[edit source]

  1. A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. More info about the research for each of the theories would be helpful
  3. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory
  4. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  5. Very good/ depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  6. Basic use of tables and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  7. Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts

Research[edit source]

  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. Excellent critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  5. Claims are referenced

Integration[edit source]

  1. Very good integration between theory and research
  2. The research seems to mostly focus on outcomes rather than testing theory

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Excellent, balanced summary and conclusion
  2. Key points are well summarised
  3. Clear take-home message(s)

Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good; however, the chapter is over the word count
    2. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
    3. 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
    4. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
    5. Use permanent, rather than relative, time references. For example, instead of "20 years ago", refer to something like "at the beginning of the 21st century". In this way, the text will survive better into the future, without needing to be rewritten.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
  3. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors)
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are well captioned
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
    4. Tables
      1. Use APA style for captions. See example
      2. Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style
    5. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Remove commas after et al. when the publication year is in parentheses
    6. References use almost correct APA style
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]

Learning features[edit source]

  1. Good use of learning features
  2. 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.
  3. Very good use of image(s)
  4. Basic use of table(s)
  5. Very good use of feature box(es)
  6. Very good/use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  7. Excellent use of case studies or examples
  8. Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  9. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~3 logged, useful, minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence

  2. Also narrate the title and sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  3. Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest
  4. A context for the presentation is clearly established through an example
  5. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.

  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little
  4. The presentation makes excellent use of relevant psychological theory
  5. The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research

  9. The presentation makes very good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice
  10. The presentation provides practical, easy to understand information

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages in response to each focus question

Video[edit source]

  1. Overall, visual display quality is good
  2. The presentation makes reasonably good use of text and image based slides
  3. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read
