Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi U3239962. 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

Feedback

[edit source]

Hi!

I have read over your draft and I think it looks really promising! Your tables and figures are really informative and help the chapter flow.


Here are some suggestions for improvement:

  1. After running your chapter through the readability test you scored 48.7 and should be aiming for a score of 50. To improve your score I would suggest trying to shorten some of your paragraphs by either spliting them into two seperate paragraphs or trying to cut them down to around 5 sentences (as per the rubric suggestions). I also think when you build out the rest of your dot points it will help improve the score.
  2. You will also need to add in more referneces to indicate that you have done extensive reading (the assessment instructions suggests a dozen references at least) and to prove your information is factual as well as avoiding plagurism.
  3. Finally, I can see you have two quiz questions you are yet to update from the template, if you want to break up your writing a little bit more I would suggest adding some more quiz questions to the end of each section to helpo with the flow of information. Alternatively, a case study or feature box could also work to do this.

I have also made a few edits in your reference list to the casing of the titles of a few references to align with APA formatting.


Best of luck with the rest of the assignment! I am excited to see how your work progresses!
