Wikipedia links

That's great that relevant links are being provided to Wikipedia articles - this helps to add interactive depth. To improve these links, make them internal rather thane external - see example changes - http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Motivation_and_emotion%2FBook%2FDisgust&action=historysubmit&diff=818780&oldid=818616 Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 19:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi James, I tried doing that but it kept saying the the article in question didn't exist, so I opted for the external links. I'll try just handwriting the code into the text. I also want to thank you for the continued feedback, it's been very helpful. :) - Callum

A really interesting chapter - well done - Magnolia

Overall Overall comments This is a solid, basic chapter that situates disgust within prominent emotion theories and uses images and multimedia links to great effect; however, it could be expanded to include a greater range of research and requires revision in accordance with APA style. Theory Theory comments The work of major theorists (e.g., Ekman and Plutchik) is described, and some criticisms are evident. The discussion includes basic and derivative emotions, with disgust correctly identified as a basic emotion. The biological and cognitive approach, and their integration in the two-systems theory, are outlined. Research Research comments Studies that were mentioned were well-described. Propositions made in text should be supported with references. A self-help application in managing emotion could be provided to assist readers. Written expression Written expression comments The chapter demonstrates great use of wiki features, including images that illustrate disgust perfectly, tables, and multimedia links to other resources, which were expertly done. Try to avoid contractions, one-sentence paragraphs and repetitive phrasing (e.g., “dangers that may be dangerous”.) Some textual and factual errors are noted; “11 more emotions”, should be “11 emotions” or “5 more emotions”, “In 1972 devised a list of six basic emotions” is missing Ekman’s name. APA style seems to be largely ignored; correct use of the referencing system and wider research would really strengthen the chapter.

Overall Overall, this is a very rudimentary multimedia presentation via a screencast of the chapter (in small text - difficult to read) with ad-libbed audio. Structure and content What are the self-help focus questions? Structure and content does not differ from the chapter itself; no particular effort made to shape and present the content for a multimedia presentation. No summary? No take-home messages? Communication Communication could have benefitted by being scripted and with some development of relevant accompanying visual display. Overly casual for an effective education presentation (scripting could really help here). Production quality Production quality was rudimentary. Audio was clear. Video was low resolution and text was not readable. Thanks for releasing under a Creative Commons Attribution license. Further takes could be used to create a smoother presentation (e.g., fewer ums)
