Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi CharlotteLane55. 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

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 is correctly worded and formatted
  1. Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure
  2. Useful distinction between enhance/reduce
  3. Emphasises theory rather than research; aim for a balance; these headings are OK if research about these theories is covered within each section
  4. Introduction heading is probably not needed - cover this material in either the Overview or subsequent sections
  5. Headings should not also be hyperlinks
  6. Consider adopting closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  1. Very good - 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
  3. Aim for a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic
  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
  1. Partial development of key points for some sections, with some relevant citations
  2. Move links to external resources into the External links section
  3. For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  4. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research, with practical examples
  5. Use APA style 7th edition for citations with three or more authors (i.e., FirstAuthor et al., year)
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Hasn't been developed
  1. A relevant figure is presented and captioned
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  3. Consider decreasing image size to make it less dominant in relation to the text
  1. Promising 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 example(s)/case study(ies)
  3. The opening case study is long; consider abbreviating or splitting into different sections throughout the chapter
  4. Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc.
  1. Excellent
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  1. See also
    1. Not developed
  2. External links
    1. Not developed

02]])

  1. Excellent – used effectively
  2. Excellent description about self provided
  3. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter
  1. At least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence
  2. If adding the second or subsequent link to a page (or a talk/discussion page), create a direct link like / Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.

heading style

[edit source]

Hi, looking great chapter! the heading style needs to be sentence casting. Like Psychological theories to enhance group motivation, not the one you did like Psychological Theories to Enhance Group Motivation. Stluciamolly (discusscontribs) 12:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply


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. Coverage of theory is very good, but there is a lack of sufficient citation and insufficient review of relevant research
  3. Partial use of APA style for citations.
    1. Example of how to improve: Christie et al, 2001 -> Christie et al. (2001)
  4. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. 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. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Reasonably clear focus questions
  1. A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Builds somewhat on Wikipedia articles; build more strongly on related book chapters
  3. Build more strongly on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  4. Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  5. Basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  6. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  7. Good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  2. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  3. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  4. Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Insufficient 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 basic
    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. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences.
    4. 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
    5. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
    2. Remove links from headings
    3. 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)
  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., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., Economics -> economics)
  6. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use serial commas[4]. 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. Figure would be better presented as an editable table than a fixed image
      4. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
    4. References use basic APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[5]
      2. Include hyperlinked dois
      3. Remove publisher location
  7. Overreliance on books/encyclopedias
  8. Move non-peer reviewed links into the External links section
  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. 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.
  3. Move links to non-peer-reviewed sources to the External links section
  4. Reasonably good use of image(s)
  5. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  6. No use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  7. Reasonably good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use alphabetical order
    2. Use the best 3 to 6 resources about this topic available on the internet
  1. ~10 logged, useful, moderate to major social contributions
  2. Approximately half the links went to direct evidence and were counted for marking purposes
