Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2016/Nostalgia and emotion

Structure

Avoid having a single sub-section within a section; either add another sub-section or merge the content into the higher level section. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 00:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Overall Overall, this is a well-written chapter which draws on a sound understanding of relevant theory and research. The chapter could be improved by providing more in-text linking to other relevant chapters and/or Wikipedi articles. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory The phenomenon is well described, with examples. Relevant theory and connections to related concepts are well explained. Was the McCann (1941) source directly consulted? If not, don't cite it (or use a secondary citation). Addition of case studies or additional examples could be helpful. The Overview is well written but could more strongly emphasise the take-home messages for improving the reader's life. Research Considerable relevant research is cited, showing a very good understanding of the literature. The Reeve (2015) textbook is over-used as a citation; preferably consult and cite primary, peer-reviewed sources. Note that there was no Reeve (2014) publication. When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the method. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Written expression is generally very good. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Some clarification templates have been added to the page. Layout Avoid sections with only one sub-section. A section should have no sub-sections or at least two sub-sections. The chapter is well-structured. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively. Learning features Add Interwiki links (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and other Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive. e.g., solastalgia. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement. Spelling Use Australian spelling (some general examples are hypothesize -> hypothesise; behavior -> behaviour). Grammar and proofreading The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Check and correct use of commas before "and" in a list of three or more items. APA style Check and correct the APA style formatting of in-text citations e.g., put in-text citations in alphabetical order. The reference list is not in full APA style.

Overall Overall, this is a very well prepared, creative, and executed presentation.

Selection and organisation Well selected content - not too much or too little. Well structured. Theory was well covered. Balanced perspective. Basic coverage of research. Include citations and references. Conclusion Too brief. A Conclusion slide summarising the take-home messages / key points could be helpful. Communication Audio Audio is clear and well-paced.

The combination of images and text is effective. Production quality Overall, very well produced. Meta-data Well titled. Link to chapter provided. Minimal but sufficient use of the Description field.
