Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Attributions and arousal

layout

Hi, I noticed you hadn't started yet and thought I could save you a few minutes giving you the general layout of the chapter! Not knowing anything about the topic itself I can't really give any insight or advice unfortunately, but I did find a chapter on attributions and emotion

https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2013/Attributions_and_emotion#See_also. Looking forward to reading it!

Hi there, I am doing a topic similar to yours and I found that by looking at other and/or previous book chapters can really help format the assignment. https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2015/Neurobiology_of_romantic_love did an amazing job formatting and explaining different aspects that include arousal. Check it out. Good luck!

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:45, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a chapter which could be improved by being completed - it seems to be unfinished. Perhaps more importantly, though, the content provided doesn't address the topic - How do attributions influence experience of arousal? For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory about attributions is inadequate and doesn't explain how they influence arousal. Research Many statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) The reviewed research is not related to the chapter topic. Written expression The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., see where clarification templates have been added to the page). Layout See earlier comments about heading casing Avoid sections with only one sub-section. A section should have no sub-sections or at least two sub-sections. Add bullet-points for See also and External links. The chapter is poorly structured. Learning features Add Interwiki links (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and other Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement. APA style Add APA style captions to tables and figures. Check and correct the APA style for how to report numbers (Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10)). The reference list is not in full APA style.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this presentation doesn't address the topic. Structure and content The presentation is about arousal, and the physiology of arousal, but not about attributions and arousal. Communication Check pronunciation of norepinephrine Audio is clear and well-paced. Basic, text-based visuals are used. Audio is not auto-synced to slides. Production quality Rename the title so that it includes the subtitle (and matches the book chapter). Fill out the description field (e.g., brief description of presentation, link back to the book chapter, license details, and possibly include references and image attributions). A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the description or in the presentation slides). No link is provided back to the book chapter.
