The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page. Please also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.
Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
Avoid providing too much background information. Aim to briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
Use APA style for citations (e.g., alphabetical order)
Use Australian spelling
Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples
Conclusion (the most important section):
Underway
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?)
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters (see Tutorial 2)
Consider use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies
Focus the quiz question(s) on the take-home messages for each focus question
Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information
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.

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.
Provide a conclusion which summarises the most relevant psychological theory and research about this topic, with take-home messages for each focus question
The (almost) correct title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. This would help to convey the purpose of the presentation and be consistent.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand.

Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonably good
Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences.
Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "as previously mentioned") because it's usually unnecessary. If needed, use section linking.
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see [grammar?] tags). Consider using a grammar checking tool, Studiosity, and/or peer feedback on draft work.
Abbreviations
Once an abbreviation has been established (e.g., PTSD), use it consistently aftwarwards
Spelling
Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
Proofreading
More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
Remove unnecessary capitalisation – more info (e.g., remove first letter capitalisation of models/theories)
Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, communicate about concepts in your own words
Figures
Reasonably well captioned
Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example.
Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., "(see Figure 1)"; do not use bold, italics, check and correct capitalisation).
Excellent/Very good/Good/Reasonably good/Basic/Insufficient use of learning features
Basic 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.
Very good use of figure(s)
No use of table(s)
Basic use of feature box(es)
The chapter is conceptually abstract. Insufficient use of scenarios, case studies, or practical examples
Very 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
