Initial suggestions[edit source]

@U3216413(2023): 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 23:32, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing[edit source]

Hi U3216413(2023). 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

Heading structure[edit source]

The Overview and Conclusion should not have any sub-headings. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:25, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Title[edit source]

  7. Consider adopting closer alignment between the focus questions and the top-level headings

Overview[edit source]

  1. Not provided

  3. Promising balance of theory and research
  4. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Well developed
    2. In a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?

  2. Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc.

References[edit source]

  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
  2. At least one contribution has been made and summarised with indirect link(s) to evidence

To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.
  4. Great to see you on Twitter!
  5. Use a numbered list (see Tutorial 02)
  6. Add a brief summary of each contribution

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 address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Basic
  2. Consider providing a case study or scenario with an image in a feature box to help engage reader interest
  3. Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Basic focus questions
  5. The focus questions could be improved by being more specific to the topic (i.e., the sub-title)

Theory[edit source]

  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  3. Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. No use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  5. Key citations are well used
  6. Very good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts

Research[edit source]

  1. Excellent review of relevant research
  2. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful.
  3. Excellent critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  4. What about cross-cultural aspects of relief?

Integration[edit source]

  1. Excellent integration between theory and research

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Reasonably good
  2. Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest
  3. Key points are summarised
  4. Add practical, take-home message(s)

Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good
    2. 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.
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
  3. APA style
    1. 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)
    2. Replace double spaces with single spaces

>

    1. Figures
      1. Figures are captioned
      2. Figures and/or their captions could be more closely aligned with relief
      3. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text

<

    1. Citations use correct APA style
    2. References are a mess; use either APA style or a consistent wiki style, not both

Learning features[edit source]

  1. Excellent/Very good/Good/Basic/Insufficient use of learning features
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Good use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Excellent use of feature box(es)
  7. Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  8. Excellent use of case studies or examples
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Include sources in parentheses
  10. Good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use sentence casing
    2. Include sources in parentheses

Social contribution[edit source]

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