Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi U3212278. 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

Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

  1. The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Basic, 1-level heading structure – could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure

  2. To add direct links to evidence of Wikiversity edits or comments: view the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and paste the comparison URL on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. This was demonstrated in tutorials.

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 mainly because it lacks sufficient review of relevant research
  2. Reasonably good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  3. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid
  2. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box; also include a relevant image
  3. Consider using the scenario to illustrate key components of SDT
  4. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  5. Basic focus questions
  6. Use open-ended rather than closed-ended focus questions
  7. The focus questions are distributed throughout the chapter rather than being synthesised and presented at the end of the Overview
  1. Basic coverage of relevant theory
  2. Builds somewhat on previous, related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
  3. Basic depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. It would be helpful to point out that SDT is a macro theory which consists of half a dozen mini-theories
  5. Use tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information
  6. Very basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts; lacks depth
  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. 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
  1. Insufficient integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research
  1. Basic summary and conclusion
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good
    2. 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

  1. Layout
    1. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
    2. Avoid having a single sub-heading within a section
  2. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
  3. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min)
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are reasonably well captioned
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
      3. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation)
    4. Citations use very good APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
    5. References use reasonably good APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Include hyperlinked dois (fixed)
      3. Remove numbers
  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Only link the first time the word/phrase is used.
  3. Basic use of image(s)
  4. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  5. Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Use alphabetical order
  6. Good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. It would be ideal if these links were more specific to WM and SDT
    2. Use alphabetical order
  1. ~7 logged, useful, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence
