Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi Beabosborne. 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

  1. The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted

  2. Revise heading structure to place less emphasis on background concepts and more emphasis on the target topic. The draft headings place too much emphasis on background concepts and too little on the relationship between the concepts.
  1. Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  1. Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest
  2. Simplify/abbreviate the description of the problem/topic. Move detail into subsequent sections.
  3. Use 3rd person perspective (except 1st/2nd person can work for feature boxes/scenarios)
  4. Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended
  1. Insufficient development
  2. Basic use of citations
  3. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples
  4. It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan

  6. 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?)
  1. One or more relevant figure(s) presented and captioned
  2. The figure caption(s) provide(s) a clear, appropriately detailed description that is meaningfully connected with the main text
  3. Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text
  4. Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1)
  5. Consider increasing image size from to make it easier to view

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)

  1. Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies
  2. Consider including one or more quiz question(s) about the take-home messages

    2. Use alphabetical order
  2. External links
    1. Not developed (see Tutorial 2)
  1. Used effectively

social contribution

[edit source]

hey, you have done a fantastic job so far. the case study is very engaging. the chapter is organised which keeps it engaging. it would be interesting to include demographic aspects expanding on how ecopsychology approaches may differ across various population.

I enjoyed the Focus on Practical Healing especially. it might be helpful to add in clarity on complex terms ie nonduality to accommodate for a broader audience.

you have done a wonderful job so far. well, done :) U3236683 (discusscontribs) 07:09, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

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. Excellent use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Reasonably good
  2. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box; also include a relevant image
  3. The scenario is not sufficiently tailored to the topic
  4. Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well
  5. The focus questions are clear and relevant
  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Builds somewhat on other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
  3. Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. Excellent use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  5. Key citations are well used
  6. Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Very good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  4. 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
  5. Claims are well referenced
  1. Excellent integration between theory and research
  1. Excellent summary and conclusion
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good
    2. Use active (e.g., "this chapter explores") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2]
    3. Some sentences are overly long. Strive for the simplest expression. Consider splitting longer sentences into two shorter sentences. Shorter words and sentences are more readable. Try conducting a readability analysis such as via https://www.webfx.com/tools/read-able/. This chapter gets a score of . Aim for 50+.
    4. Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences.
    5. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[3] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
    6. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
    7. Embed direct quotes within sentences and paragraphs, rather than presenting them holus-bolus
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
    2. Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional italics, bold, and/or change in font size)
    3. See earlier comments about heading casing
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use serial commas[4]. Video (1 min)
    3. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used ... as slang, or as an invented or coined expression" (APA Style 7th ed., 2020, p. 159)
    4. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, communicate about concepts in your own words
    5. Figures
      1. Very 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)")
    6. Tables
      1. Use APA style for captions (see example)
      2. Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text
    7. Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.)
    8. References use good APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[5]
      2. Include hyperlinked dois (fixed)
      3. Move non-peer reviewed links into the External links section
  1. Excellent use of learning features
  2. Reasonably 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. Very good use of figure(s)
  5. Very good use of table(s)
  6. Excellent use of feature box(es)
  7. Excellent use of scenarios, case studies, or examples
  8. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)

    1. Use sentence casing
  10. Excellent use of external links in the "External links" section
