Comment

[edit source]

Hey there I'm Jackster_10 and and doing a slightly relevant chapter about motivation and personal hygiene, while doing some research I came across this article https://doi.org/10.1093/her/cyp002 which may be of use to you, it talks about hygiene standards and touches on motivations for hand washing including disgust, and has a paragraph on how disgust can be used as a motivator. The information isn't too detailed but you may be able to gain some information from it. Cheers, Jackster_10 Jackster 10 (discusscontribs) 05:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi U3214564 so far your chapter provides a clear and engaging analysis of how disgust influences hygiene behaviours, highlighting both its evolutionary role as a disease defence and its psychological mechanisms. This is so insightful! Great work on presenting such a nuanced view of how disgust shapes our hygiene behaviours (: - U3236641

Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi U3214564. 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

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.

  1. The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted
  2. User name removed – authorship is as per the list of topics and the page's editing history
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Excellent – Well developed 2-level heading structure. Meaningful headings clearly relate directly to the core topic.
  3. Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  1. Excellent - Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, relevant psychological theory/research, and focus questions
  2. A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section. Add an image into the scenario feature box to help attract reader interest.
  3. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is planned
  4. Use 3rd person perspective (except 1st/2nd person can work for feature boxes/scenarios)
  5. Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended

[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 a basic chapter. Coverage of theory is good. Research review is basic. Style is basic.
  2. Basic use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  3. In many places, better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  4. For citations, use APA style or wiki style, but not both
  5. Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  6. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Well developed
  2. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box; also include a relevant image
  3. Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well
  4. Briefly explains the psychological problem or phenomenon; provide more detail
  5. The focus questions are reasonably clear
  1. A basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
    1. Builds on one previous chapters and/or Wikipedia article
  2. Build more strongly on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding interwiki links for key terms)
  3. Basic depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. Basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  5. In many places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  6. Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Basic review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area?
  4. In many places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  6. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. considering the strength of relationships
    3. acknowledging limitations
    4. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  7. Many claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Basic integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance
  3. Insufficient integration with chapters
  1. Reasonably good summary and conclusion
  2. Key points are well summarised
  3. Address the focus questions
  4. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    2. 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
  2. Layout
    1. The structure is overly complicated; aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Introduction and Conclusion
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
    3. See earlier comments about heading casing
    4. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
      1. Consider using a grammar checking tool
      2. Another option is to use a services provided by UC, such as Studiosity
      3. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance
    2. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[2]
    3. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct formatting of abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e., etc.)
      2. Only use abbreviations such as e.g., i.e., et al., etc. inside parentheses, otherwise spell them out
  4. Spelling
    1. Some words are misspelt (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
  5. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation – more info
  6. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, communicate about concepts in your own words
    2. Figures
      1. Reasonably well captioned
      2. Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example.
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)")
    3. Citations use basic APA style (7th ed.). To improve:
      1. More proofreading is needed
      2. List multiple citations in alphabetical order by first author surname
    4. References use basic APA style:
      1. Remove bullet points (fixed)
      2. Include hyperlinked dois (fixed)
      3. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      4. Remove "Retrieved ..."
      5. Use hanging indent (fixed)
  1. Excellent/Very good/Good/Reasonably good/Basic/Insufficient use of learning features
  2. One 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. Basic use of figure(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Reasonably good use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of scenarios, case studies, or examples
  8. Reasonably good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Use bullet points per Tutorial 02
    2. Also include links to related book chapters
  10. No use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Move the external links into References and cite
    2. Add more links
  1. ~1 logged contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. ~3 logged contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess. See tutorials for guidance about how to get direct links to evidence.
