Heading casing

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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:01, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the plan. If you don't understand the feedback or would like further information, get in touch to discuss. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title Title and sub-title correctly worded and use sentence casing 2. Headings See earlier comment about heading casing Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development and/or refinement Develop closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with 3 to 5 sub-headings for large sections The Overview and Conclusion should not use sub-headings (fixed) Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Are the headings based on genAI content? If so, this needs to be acknowledged in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity. 3. Overview Good A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box with an image at the start of this section A basic description of the problem/topic is planned or presented The description is quite abstract; consider making it simpler to understand Focus more on the concepts that the authors Use 3rd person perspective (except 1st/2nd person can work for feature boxes/scenarios) Use Australian spelling (e.g., analyze → analyse; behavior → behaviour) Develop closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings 4. Key points Promising development of key points Promising balance of theory and research Good use of citations Tip: Rather than starting with an author name and citation, start with the more interesting part (i.e., the substance) and put the citation at the end or mid-way through the sentence For sections with sub-sections, provide key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings Do these key points include genAI content? If so, this needs to be acknowledged in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity. Conclusion is 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 Relevant figure(s) are presented and captioned Figure caption(s) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) Consider decreasing Figure 1 image size(s) to make it less dominant 6. Learning feature Add in-text interwiki links for first mention of key terms to Wikipedia and/or book chapters (see Tutorial 2) Consider use of more scenarios/examples/case studies Promising use of quiz question(s) Place quiz each question in the most relevant section Consider including quiz question(s) about the take-home messages Also consider using tables to summarise key information 7. References Very good What are the most relevant systematic reviews/meta-analyses about this topic? Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation make doi hyperlinks active (i.e., clickable) 8. Resources See also One of two link types provided Also link to related motivation and emotion book chapters Use bullet-points (see Tutorial 02) Use sentence casing Include source in brackets after link (e.g., (Wikipedia) or (Book chapter, year) for Wikiversity book chapters) External links 9. User page Used effectively Excellent description about self provided 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 Good – two out of three types of contributions made with direct link(s) to evidence. The other type of contribution is making: comments on the talk pages of other chapters (past or current) 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 Tutorial 02.

Hello, the chapter does a good job explaining future orientation and its relationship with criminal behaviour, specifically by relating psychological, social and environmental factors. One area that could be improved to make this chapter further stand out is to ensure all claims are supported by appropriate academic sources and making the connection between future orientation and criminal behaviour more clear in some section. Overall a good job it provides a clear and relevant overview of the topic! -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:01, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Book chapter review and feedback

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 a reasonably good chapter that makes good use of psychological theory but limited use of research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem In several places, better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Very good A scenario or case study in a feature box is presented with a relevant image Explain how the scenario illustrates RC Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well The focus questions are very good The focus questions could be improved by: consider simplifying the questions Theory Good—key theories are reasonably well explained Initially, RC isn't clearly defined and distinguished from empathy There is limited focus on how RC can be cultivated Builds somewhat on Wikipedia articles but not on other chapters Very good depth is provided about key theory(ies) Basic 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) Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Basic 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 Basic integration between the most relevant theory(ies) and the best research Conclusion Reasonably good summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised The take-away messages for each focus question could be spelt out more clearly Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression The quality of written expression is OK but there are several aspects which are below professional standard Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. Bullet points are overused. Develop more of the bullet point statements into full sentences and paragraphs. Layout Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings See earlier comment about heading casing Grammar The grammar for some/many sentences could be improved (e.g., see tags); consider using a grammar checking tool, Studiosity, and/or peer feedback Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) APA style Direct quotes need page numbers—even better, communicate about concepts in your own words Figures Reasonably well captioned Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)") Citations use good APA Style (7th ed.): If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either: in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020) References use very good APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Move non-peer reviewed sources into the External links section Learning features Overall, the learning features are reasonably good Basic 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. Reasonably good use of figure(s) No use of table(s) Reasonably good use of feature box(es) Insufficient use of scenarios, case studies, or examples Basic 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 Insufficient use of the "See also" section Use bullet points per Tutorial 02 Use sentence casing Use alphabetical order Include sources in parentheses after the link Good use of the "External links" section Include sources in parentheses after the link Social contribution ~3 logged, useful contributions with direct links to evidence
