Tables

Tables can be an effective way to organise and summarise information. Tables should be captioned (using APA style) to explain their relevance to the text. Plus each table should be referred to at least once in the main text (e.g., see Table 1 and Table 2).

Here are some example 3 x 3 tables which could be adapted:

Table 1.

Example of a Table with an APA Style Caption

little	lamb	it's
fleece	was	white

Table 2.

Another Example of a Table with an APA Style Caption

Quizzes

Quizzes are a direct way to engage readers. But don't make quizzes too hard or long. It is better to have one or two review questions per major section than a long quiz at the end. Try to quiz conceptual understanding, rather than trivia.

Here are some simple quiz questions which could be adapted. Choose the correct answers and click "Submit":

Conclusion

The Conclusion is arguably the most important section. It should be possible for someone to read only the Overview and the Conclusion and still get a good idea of the topic.

Suggestions for this section: What is the answer to the question in the sub-title (based on psychological theory and research)? What are the answers to the focus questions? What are the practical, take-home messages?
