Case studies

Hi Chelsea, I've just finished reading your chapter, and it looks amazing! It was interesting, easy to read and contained a lot of great theoretical information. The only thing I was wondering about were the case studies. It seems like you have used a lot of real-life examples for the case study sections, which is great, but perhaps you could also provide some more hypothetical situations for the reader to keep in the back of their minds as they read through each section and try to form their answers based on the information you give them. This could make the reader think and comprehend a bit more as they go through your chapter. Well done!--U3236447 (discuss • contribs) 03:54, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi U3216883. 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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:57, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Jtneill so much for the feedback! Really appreciate it :) U3216883 (discuss • contribs) 23:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Key points Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations Consider using "people" instead of "individuals" in some places to help avoid overuse of the latter Good balance of theory and research Use APA style 7th edition for citations with three or more authors (i.e., FirstAuthor et al., year) Conclusion (the most important section): Well developed 5. Figure A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text 6. Learning feature Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikiversity pages; also consider embedding interwiki links to relevant Wikipedia articles (e.g., for more info about the case study topics) Excellent use of example(s)/case study(ies) Promising use of quiz question(s) Promising use of table(s) 7. References Excellent For APA referencing style, check and correct: Remove publication location (not part of APA style 7th ed. - was part of 6th ed.) 8. Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent 9. User page Excellent – used effectively Remember to use edit summaries Excellent description about self provided Link(s) provided to professional profile(s) Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn.

Feedback and thank yous

Hi!

I just wanted to return the favor. I read your chapter and I have to say I am wowed at how professional and readable your chapter is. I really enjoyed your use of real world cases of group thinking and just how dangerous it can be. Sentences flow nicely, chapter was readable and enjoyable. I had my partner look over it to see if it would make sense to a layperson and they understood it as well, so good job! And I just wanted to thank you for your reading, it was very helpful and I really appreciated it Joan-E-1405 (discuss • contribs) 23:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so so much @Joan-E-1405, this feedback is so sweet and a much-needed confidence boost! I really appreciate you (and your partner!) taking the time to read over it :) U3216883 (discuss • contribs) 02:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Feedback

Hi!

This chapter looks amazing! Your integration of case studies and use of feature boxes and tables enhances your information throughout the chapter.

One super minor change to consider is changing the colour of your feature boxes so that all the case studies, quiz and 'think about it' boxes have their own colours to help with continuity.

Even with that I still think your chapter looks amazing! It is clear you have put a lot of time and effort into it.

Good luck with the rest of the semester ~~~U3228753 U3228753 (discuss • contribs) 07:59, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims Several older references are used, which is fine, but they should also be supplemented by more recent relevant citations where possible For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Clearly Clear focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Effective use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Excellent review of relevant research Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships Claims are well referenced Integration Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Very good summary and conclusion Key points are reasonably well summarised Be wary of overly strident recommendations What are the take-home message(s) for each focus question? Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent Use active (e.g., "this chapter explores") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2] Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent APA style Use serial commas[3].
