  1. The wording and/or capitalisation of the title is incorrect. Be consistent with the book table of contents.
  2. The wording and/or capitalisation of the sub-title is incorrect. Be consistent with the book table of contents.

  1. Add a scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest
  2. Simplify/abbreviate introductory description - move detail into subsequent sections
  3. Present focus questions in a feature box at the end of this section
  1. A relevant figure is presented
  2. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  1. Not developed
  2. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters

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 an insufficient chapter
  2. I suspect that some of this chapter is genAI content which hasn't been acknowledged in the edit summaries. If so, it violates academic integrity.
  3. The title and/or sub-title wording and casing were not correct (fixed)
  4. Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Move non-peer reviewed links into the External links section
  6. 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 problem or phenomenon
  4. Provide focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader
  1. A promising range of ideas are presented but it is far from clear how this material is derived from a first person reading of the best peer-reviewed psychological theory and research about this topic
  2. Builds reasonably well on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
  3. Promising depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  5. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  6. Insufficient use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Insufficient review of relevant research
  2. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  3. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  4. 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
  5. Many claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Insufficient integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance
  3. Where research is discussed, it is integrated with theory
  1. Basic summary and conclusion
  2. Some points are summarised, but it would be better to address the focus questions and provide practical, take-home message(s)
  3. The conclusion is confusing because it raises new ideas that weren't discussed earlier (e.g., self-compassion)
  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. 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
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
    5. Embed direct quotes within sentences and paragraphs, rather than presenting them holus-bolus.
    6. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
  2. Layout
    1. The structure is overly complicated; aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Introduction and Conclusion
  3. Remove abbreviations from headings
    1. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
    2. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[2]
    3. Check and correct use of that vs. who
  5. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  6. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., Psychologist -> psychologist)
  7. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use serial commas[3]. Video (1 min)
    3. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used ... as slang, or as an invented or coined expression" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159)
    4. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, communicate concepts in your own words
    5. 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. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
      4. Refer to each Figure using APA style
    6. Citations use poor APA style (7th ed.)
    7. References use poor APA style:
      1. Very weak use of the best peer-reviewed psychological theory and research about this topic
      2. Check and correct use of capitalisation[4]
      3. Check and correct use of italicisation
      4. Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      5. Move non-peer reviewed links into the External links section
      6. Move Wikipedia links into the See also section
      7. Acknowledge genAI use via edit summaries per using genAI guidelines
  1. Insufficient use of learning features
  2. Reasonably 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. Use interwiki links (rather than external links) to Wikipedia articles, per Tutorial 02
  4. 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.
  5. Move links to non-peer-reviewed sources to the External links section
  6. Basic use of image(s)
  7. No use of table(s)
  8. Basic use of feature box(es)
  9. No use of case studies or examples
  10. No use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  11. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Use sentence casing
    2. Use alphabetical order
    3. Include sources in parentheses after the link
  12. Insufficient use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use sentence casing
    2. Use alphabetical order
    3. Include sources in parentheses after the link
    4. Move Wikipedia links to the See also section
  1. No logged social contributions

If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a basic presentation
  2. The presentation is over the maximum time limit — content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking and feedback purposes
  1. An opening slide with the correct title and incorrect sub-title is displayed. Also narrate or paraphrase the title and sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest (e.g., by introducing a case study or scenario)
  3. A context for the presentation is established
  4. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.
  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. There is too much content, in too much detail, presented within the allocated time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to cover a small amount of well-targetted content than a large amount of poorly selected content.
  4. The presentation makes excellent use of relevant psychological theory
  5. The presentation makes no use of relevant psychological research
  6. The presentation makes no use of citations to support claims
  7. The presentation makes no use of examples
  8. The presentation provides practical advice

  1. The audio is easy to follow
  2. The presentation makes reasonably good use of narrated audio
  3. Audio communication is well paced
  4. Reasonably good intonation
  5. The narration is reasonably well practiced and/or performed

  1. Overall, visual display quality is basic
  2. The presentation makes basic use of text-based slides
  3. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read but could be increased on some slides
  4. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images and/or diagrams
  5. The presentation is basically produced using simple tools
  1. The video title does not match the chapter title and sub-title — this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation and be more consistent
  2. Provide a written description of the presentation to help potential viewers decide whether or not to watch
  3. Links to and from the book chapter are provided
  4. A link from the book chapter is provided
