Marking criteria
editBelow are some general comments about this exercise.
Overall
edit- Overall, the standard was high. Many students embraced the exercise and provided interesting, indepth chapters which clearly demonstrated an understanding of relevant theory and research.
Theory
edit- The best chapters demonstrated a solid understanding of emotion and/or motivation theory in relation to the specific topic of interest.
- The best chapters provided critical analysis of theory, based on research and argument.
- The best chapters provided examples and/or case studies.
Research
edit- This was possibly the weakest area. Not all chapters demonstrated evidence of a close reading of key research in the topic area.
- Some chapters cited research but did not describe key studies in any depth in terms of methodology, results and implications.
- The best chapters included description of effect sizes and some included summary tables and/or graphs.
Written expression
edit- The quality of written expression varied widely - from highly professional, polished writing in full APA style through to weaker chapters which lacked proofreading, clarity and APA style.
- The best chapters combined effective content with additional learning features, such as captioned imaged, wiki-links, review/quiz questions, and links to further resources.
- Some images were uploaded without appropriate copyright details and so these images were deleted.
