@U3237728: Interesting topic selection! I look forward to reading it.
I watched a Ted Talk recently called "Choosing Humility in a Self-Centered Age" and the speaker makes some really interesting points. Particularly, he says that there has always been the emphasis to "be yourself" but he argues that it has been taken too far to the point where 'Gen-Z' will see a critical breaking news and continue by saying "well, my life is great so that's all that matters! Let's take a selfie!". It is a comical Talk but I recommend watching it because it could be useful as an external link for your chapter. here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i3oz-n73DU

Promising 3-level heading structure – could benefit from refinement to concentrate on the "essential" aspects of this topic from a psychological science perspective. There is unlikely to be much scope in terms of the maximum word count for addressing much in the way of historical background and related concepts although these can be mentioned in passing, with embedded links to further information.
Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but aim for closer alignment
Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections
Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
Keep the religious material to a minimum; embed links to further information. Ideally, the focus here would be on how this may relate to psychological theory/research, otherwise it is largely historical/cultural information.
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.

@U3237728: congratulations on your progress! it looks amazing.
Just from my personal point of view, may not be correct: under the overview, the second paragraph already has touched on the desirability of having humility according to studies in organisational psych and positive psych.
The third paragraph "Due to its importance to the field of psychology and wider society, this chapter will define humility...." there does not seem to be a causal relation between its important and the tasks of this chapter.
Under the cause of humility, the first paragraph "Although in research decades, numerous psychological theorists have explored a range of factors including the role of personality and traits, positive psychology perspectives, religion and social contexts, and social learning theory." I guess you mean theorists explored a range of factors from the perspectives of personality and traits, etc, etc? And the "although" does not have a follow-up sentence.
Thanks so much for the feedback. I am still working through my chapter making various edits to make it flow better, so I really appreciate this outsiders perspective! Will be sure to take these points into account for my chapter.

Audio recording quality was good (but quiet - I needed volume at max)
Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard and/or mouse clicks were audible). Consider using an external microphone.
The narrated content is well matched to the target topic
The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation
A very brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand.
