Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi U322995. 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

@U322995: This is a reminder about heading capitalisation. Also note that "Ego" should "ego" throughout the chapter. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply


Topic development feedback

[edit source]

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.

  1. The title and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed)
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development (expand)
  3. Excellent alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and heading structure
  4. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections
  1. A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section. Add an image to the scenario to help attract reader interest.
  2. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is planned
  3. Direct quotes need page numbers. Even better, write about concepts using your own words.
  4. Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings
  5. Open-ended focus questions are usually better than closed-ended (e.g., yes/no) questions
  1. Partial development of key points for some sections, with some relevant citations
  2. For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  3. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples
  4. Move links to academic articles into the References
  5. Move links to external resources into External links
  6. Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) – more info (e.g., Ego should be ego)
  7. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Hasn't been developed
    2. 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) is/are presented and captioned
  2. The figure caption(s) provide(s) a clear, appropriately detailed description that is meaningfully connected with the main text
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1)
  1. One use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  2. Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies
  3. Promising use of quiz question(s)
  4. Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information
  1. Insufficient
  2. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  3. Don't cite the image. Clicking on the image provides the meta-data.
  4. Move non-academic / non-peer reviewed sources to External links
  5. Check and correct APA referencing style:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation
    3. make doi hyperlinks active (i.e., clickable)
    4. use dois where available instead of other links
  6. Remember that the goal is to identify and use the best academic theory and research about this topic
  1. See also
    1. Not developed – needs work (see Tutorial 2)
  2. External links
    1. Not developed – needs work (see Tutorial 2)
  1. Basic – minimal, but sufficient
  2. Very brief description about self – consider expanding
  3. Link(s) provided to professional profile(s)
  4. A link to the book chapter is provided
  1. None summarised on user page with direct link(s) to evidence (see Tutorial 03). Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see social contributions.

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 a basic, but sufficient chapter
  2. The main area for potential improvement is the quality of written expression
  3. Basic use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  4. Better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  6. 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 with a relevant image
  3. The case study could be abbreviated
  4. Explains the problem or phenomenon
  5. The explanation of the topic could be abbreviated (move detail into subsequent sections)
  6. Basic focus questions
  1. A basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. The chapter could be improved by making a clearer distinction between "psychological resilience" (a different topic e.g., bouncing back after a challenging experience) and "ego resilience" (topic of this chapter e.g., being flexible and adaptable during a challenging experience). In some places in this chapter, the distinction appears to have been muddied.
  3. Builds on one previous, related chapter and/or Wikipedia article
  4. Build more strongly on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  5. Basic/Insufficient depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  6. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  7. Insufficient 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. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  5. 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
  6. Many claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Basic integration between theory and research
  1. Basic summary and conclusion
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills
    2. Some sentences could be explained more clearly (e.g., see the [improve clarity] tags)
    3. 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. See earlier comments about heading casing
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for many 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 make correct use of commas
    3. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[2]
    4. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect
  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.
    2. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  5. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., inconsistent use of ego-resiliency vs ego resiliency) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
  6. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use serial commas[3]. Video (1 min)
    3. Figures
      1. Briefly captioned; provide more detail to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    4. Citations use very good APA style (7th ed.). To improve:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
    5. References use very good APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[4]
  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
  3. One 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 basic use of image(s)
  5. Good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  6. Reasonably good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Ideally, choose more relevant links
  7. Reasonably good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Ideally, choose more relevant links
  1. No logged social contributions
