Overall Overall, this is a solid CR-level textbook chapter which successfully discusses Ekman's theory and research about core emotions. There was probably more room for critical thinking, given that Ekman's work is somewhat controversial e.g., how well does Ekman's theory and findings match with other efforts to identify core emotions. What are the applications of Ekman's work? Nevertheless, a good overview of Ekman's theory and initial research studies is provided, with several useful learning features such as images, a table and wiki-links. Theory Research Written expression APA style referencing was good - but check capitalisation.

Overall Overview This is a very professional, interesting, well illustrated, animated and narrated overview of core emotions with a specific focus on Ekman's approach. The structure and scripting was spot on - well paced, well selected with a balance of theory and research well supported by illustrative images. Image attributions?
