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. Under-developed, 1-level heading structure – develop further, perhaps using a 2-level structure for larger section(s)
  2. Excellent alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and heading structure
  3. Unclear how media relates to the sub-title; but media could be used as an interesting example
  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. Add a scenario or case study in a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest
  2. Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic
  3. Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings
  1. Partial development of key points for some sections
  2. Insufficient use of citations
  3. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples
  4. Conclusion (the most important section) is underdeveloped
  5. 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) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  3. The figure caption should use APA style (e.g., start with Figure 1.)
  4. Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1)
  1. 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)
  2. Consider use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies
  3. Consider including one or more quiz question(s) about the take-home messages
  4. Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information
  1. OK
  2. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  3. All references need to be cited in the text
  4. Only include references which have been accessed and read
  5. Check and correct APA referencing style:
    1. author initials (instead of first names)
    2. remove quotation marks
    3. capitalisation
    4. italicisation
    5. provide all available dois and make doi hyperlinks active (i.e., clickable)
  1. See also
    1. Very good
    2. Rename links so that they are more user friendly (see Tutorial 02)
  2. External links
    1. Very good
    2. Use sentence casing
  1. Basic – minimal – see Tutorial 02
  2. Very brief description about self – consider expanding
  3. Add description about self
  4. 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.
  5. A link to the book chapter is provided
  6. Rename the link to the book chapter to make it more user-friendly (see Tutorial 02)
  1. Good – two out of three types of contributions made with with indirect link(s) to evidence. The other type of contribution is making:

Heading casing

[edit source]
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

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 promising but insufficient chapter because it is incomplete
  2. I suspect that some of this chapter is based on unacknowledged use of genAI output; if so, it violates academic integrity principles
  3. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  4. Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  5. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Underdeveloped
  2. Engage reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image
  3. Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well
  4. Add focus questions in a feature box
  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are considered
  2. Builds reasonably well on other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
  3. Basic/ depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  5. Key citations are well used
  6. Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Insufficient 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
  1. Insufficient integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance
  3. Insufficient integration with chapters
  1. Missing
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is OK but there are several aspects which are below professional standard
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences.
    3. Bullet points are overused. Develop more of the bullet point statements into full sentences and paragraphs.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections, but may be overly ambitious given that the chapter is incomplete
    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
    4. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
  3. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation – more info
  4. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. 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 goes here in sentence casing. See example.
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)")
    3. Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.)
    4. References use reasonably good APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[1]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. Very 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. Insufficient use of figure(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. No use of scenarios, case studies, or examples
  8. No use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Rename links per Tutorial 02
    2. Use alphabetical order
  10. Reasonably good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Add more links
  1. ~1 logged contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess. See tutorials for guidance about how to get direct links to evidence.
