1. Title Title and sub-title correctly worded and use sentence casing 2. Headings Basic, mostly 1-level heading structure – could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure (i.e., use subheadings) Basic alignment between between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings. Aim to improve. The focus on academic success isn't specified by the topic (title/sub-title) although it could be used as a case study/example/scenario; address the topic more broadly to appeal to a wider audience Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with 3 to 5 sub-headings for large sections Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings 3. Overview Very good Does this section include genAI content? If so, it needs to be acknowledged as such in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity. A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box with an image at the start of this section A promising description of the problem/topic is planned or presented The description is overly focused on academic contexts; this is an overly narrow approach to addressing this topic Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment Open-ended focus questions are usually better than closed-ended (e.g., yes/no) questions 4. Key points Promising development of key points The most important section is "How does fear of failure relate to procrastination?". Expand this section and reduce the emphasis on other aspects. Use the academic domain as an application/example rather than as a primary focus for the chapter (because this isn't specified by the title/sub-title - golden rule - answer the question) Promising balance of theory and research Excellent use of citations Avoid providing too much background information. Aim to briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Focus most of the chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Conclusion is well underway 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?) 5. Figure Excellent - Relevant figure(s) presented, captioned, and cited Figure caption(s) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text 6. Learning feature Excellent in-text interwiki links for first mention of key terms to Wikipedia and/or book chapters Consider use of more scenarios/examples/case studies Excellent use of quiz question(s) Also consider using tables to summarise key information 7. References Excellent What are the most relevant systematic reviews/meta-analyses about this topic? Check and correct APA referencing style: use dois where available instead of other links 8. Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent 9. User page Good Very brief description about self – consider expanding 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. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence

Potentially add emotion regulation sub-question

Hey there!

This is a really good chapter, I like how you've laid everything out. The only thing I would suggest is possibly add a sub-question covering emotion regulation ("What is emotion regulation?" perhaps), since there is a heading dedicated to the topic. My thinking is it might tie in the sub-questions to the headings more. Keep up the good work! U3158916 (discuss • contribs) 09:36, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

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 This is an insufficient chapter The main area(s) for potential improvement: more detailed review of the best psychological research about the topic quality of written expression Basic use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims All citations need to be in the References Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Reasonably good Engaging scenario or case study Figure 1 is relevant to the scenario Figure 1 could be improved by expanding the caption Scenario uses an appropriate feature box Briefly explains the psychological problem or phenomenon; provide more detail The focus questions are insufficient The focus questions could be improved by: being more specific to the topic (i.e., the sub-title) being better aligned with the top-level headings being open-ended rather than closed-ended Theory Basic—a basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained; there is considerable room for improvement Builds reasonably well on Wikipedia articles but not related chapters by embedding interwiki links for key terms Basic depth is provided about key theory(ies) Good use of tables, figures, and/or lists to clearly convey key theoretical information In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Reasonably good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Insufficient review of relevant research Greater emphasis on systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses would be ideal More detail about key studies would be ideal In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Insufficient integration between the most relevant theory(ies) and the best research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance Insufficient integration with related chapters Conclusion Basic summary and conclusion Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest Key points are summarised in a basic way Address the focus questions Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression The quality of written expression is reasonably good Some sentences could be explained more clearly (e.g., see the and tags) Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. Layout The chapter structure is underdeveloped Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see tags); consider using a grammar checking tool, Studiosity, and/or peer feedback Check and correct use of that vs. who APA style Use serial commas[1][2] Figures Brief captions; provide more detail to help connect the figure to the text Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example. Add captions Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)") Tables Reasonably well captioned Refer to each Table using APA style (e.g., do not use bold, italics, check and correct capitalisation) In some places, better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Citations use excellent APA Style (7th ed.) References use good APA style: Check and correct use of italicisation More proofreading and consistency needed Some citations were not in the references Learning features Very good 1. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. use of learning features 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. Add 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. Good use of figure(s) Good use of table(s) Very good use of feature box(es) Reasonably good use of scenarios, case studies, or examples Good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) The quiz questions could be improved by being more focused on the key points and/or take-home messages The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than as a set of questions at the end Excellent use of the See also section Excellent use of the External links section Social contribution ~10 logged, useful, mostly minor, last-minute contributions with direct links to evidence Use a numbered list per Tutorial 02
