Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi StutiDoshi1. 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 and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed)
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Basic, mostly 1-level heading structure – could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure
  3. Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  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
  5. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  1. Excellent - 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 with an image at the start of this section
  3. Consider adapting the scenario to refer to future transcendental time perspective; or at least tailor towards how this perspective may affect the person's present emotion and motivation
  4. Simplify/abbreviate the description of the problem/question i.e., make this section more user-friendly and move detail into subsequent sections.
  5. Focus questions are basic. They are quite general. As a better understanding of the topic develops, make these more specific.
  6. Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended
  1. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Avoid providing too much background information (e.g., about time perspective). Aim to briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title (i.e., focus on transcendental time perspective.
  3. It may be necessary to search beyond just "transcendental" to include synonymous terms
  4. Promising balance of theory and research. Ideally, also include more examples.
  5. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Well developed
    2. 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. A relevant figure is presented and captioned
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style
  3. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  4. Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies)
  5. Promising use of quiz question(s)
  6. Focus the quiz question(s) on the take-home messages for each focus question
  7. Promising use of table(s)
  8. Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information

No comment

social contribution

[edit source]

hey, I really love this topic you have gone in depth on the psychological theories which integrates motivation and emotion effectively. it would be great to see tips on how we could integrate transcendental future time perspective into daily life in terms of long-term motivation such as visualising distant future outcomes or aligning daily tasks with long-term aspirations. Great work so far :) U3236683 (discusscontribs) 20:25, 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 reasonably good chapter. It makes promising use of psychological theory and some use of research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. The main areas for potential improvement are to remain focused on psychological (rather than philosophical/religious etc.) perspectives and to use better quality written expression for science-based communication
  3. Reasonably good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  4. In some places, better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Move embedded external links to non-peer-reviewed sources into the External links section
  6. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid
  2. Engages reader via a reasonably relevant case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image
  3. Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well
  4. Too long. Move detail into subsequent sections.
  5. Overly historical, religious, philosophical and insufficiently psychologically focused
  6. The focus questions are reasonably clear
  1. A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Builds effectively on other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
  3. Very good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  5. In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  6. Reasonably good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Reasonably good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area?
  4. In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  6. 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
  7. Some claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Reasonably good integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance
  1. Basic summary and conclusion
  2. Abbreviate to focus on a cohesive summary of the best available psychological theory and research about the topic
  3. Avoid drifting outside of psychology and evidence
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is OK but there are several aspects which are below professional standard
    2. Some sentences are overly long. Strive for the simplest expression. Consider splitting longer sentences into two shorter sentences. Shorter words and sentences are more readable. Try conducting a readability analysis such as via https://www.webfx.com/tools/read-able/. This chapter gets a score of . Aim for 50+.
    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[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
  2. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some/many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
      1. Consider using a grammar checking tool
      2. Another option is to use a services provided by UC, such as Studiosity
  3. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation – more info
  4. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Express numbers < 10 using words (e.g., two) and >= 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 99)
    3. Figures
      1. Reasonably well captioned
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., "(see Figure 1)"; do not use bold, italics, check and correct capitalisation).
    4. Citations use very good APA style (7th ed.). To improve:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
    5. References use reasonably good APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Very good 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. One 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. Reasonably good use of figure(s)
  5. Basic use of table(s) – Needs APA style caption and to be referred to using APA style ast least once in the main text
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of scenarios, case studies, or examples
  8. Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  9. Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  10. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~6 logged, useful, mostly moderate to major contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. An image was also uploaded
