Good job, a few suggestions

edit

Contribution from u3082340

Jumped straight on your page because we both used the same theory! Good to see we both got the same ideas and overall concept of the theory - You did really well. The colours and diagrams do a really good job at keeping the reader interested, however could I suggest that maybe you add some photo’s or colour at the top, just to ‘grab’ the readers attention? Otherwise - good content, use of application in case studies, and understanding of the theory. Also - for any last minute touch ups, have a look at my page and watch the video I linked - Found it very useful with understanding the theory. My topic is Comfort Eating: How and why do people use comfort eating as a way to cope with negative emotions? Goodluck!

Heading casing

edit
 
FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

  1. Overall, this is an all-round impressive presentation – well done!
  1. A well designed and organised presentation which provides a comprehensive overview of the role cognitive appraisal in emotional experiences. The presentation displayed clear definitions of terminology and logical flow between concepts related to the topic such as the links between appraisal and emotions and the types of cognitive appraisal. There was good integration of psychological theories of appraisal and research/models embedded in the presentation. Great focus on coping and emotional regulation strategies towards the end with an important take home message.
  1. Clear communication of ideas using voice and image was displayed in a basic yet effective presentation style. The presentation was well-paced and engaging and displayed good use of illustrative examples. Perhaps the use of more images could help to make the presentation more interesting.
  1. The presentation had clear picture and audio quality and demonstrated effective use of screencast to communicate ideas. The presentation also had a clear element of professionalism about it. A creative commons license was used and links to and from both the book chapter and multimedia presentation were provided. A reference list was provided.

  2. For more feedback, see these copyedits and comments below.
  1. Coverage of theory is excellent.
  1. Cover of research is very good.
  2. The Reeve (2009) textbook is over-used as a citation; preferably consult and cite primary, peer-reviewed sources.
  1. Written expression is generally very good.
    1. The Overview could be improved by providing an example or case study.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. Tables and/or Figures were used effectively.
    2. Coloured boxes were removed to aid readability; keep the style simple (e.g., as per Wikipedia articles)
  3. Learning features
    1. The text could become more interactive by including more interwiki links.
    2. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement.
  4. Grammar and proofreading
    1. The grammar of some sentences need to be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
    2. Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals')
  5. APA style
    1. Add APA style captions to tables and figures to explain their connection with the text.
    2. The reference list is not in full APA style.
