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 12:15, 25 November 2016 (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 very basic chapter. It has three notable problem areas (areas for improvement: The grammar, spelling and quality of written expression is well below professional standard. The chapter should focus more strongly throughout on the core question: "What is the effect of smiling and laughter on happiness?" and not on tangential matters such as "What are the benefits of happiness?". The chapter makes little use of the potential of the wiki environment (e.g., consider adding interwiki links, images etc.) For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Feel free to make ongoing changes to the chapter if you wish to address any of these comments or make other improvements. Theory The Overview could be improved by focusing more on the core question (the subtitle) and less on other questions. Abbreviate the general material about happiness and provide references and links to further information. This would allow more space to address the focus of this chapter - the contribution of smiling and laughter to happiness. Examples or case studies could be helpful. Research The Reeve (2015) textbook is over-used as a citation; preferably consult and cite primary, peer-reviewed sources. Some statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) 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 The quality of written expression is not of an acceptable, professional standard. To help guide areas for improvement, please see where clarification templates such as , , , , , and may have been added to the page. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., above, below, as previously mentioned). Obtaining (earlier) comments on a chapter plan and/or chapter draft could have helped to improve the chapter. Structure and headings Each section should start with at least one introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections. See earlier comments about heading casing Layout No images or tables were used. Integration with other chapters Add interwiki links links to a wider range of other relevant chapters. No integration with other chapters is evident. Learning features Add Interwiki links (to relevant Wikipedia articles) to make the text more interactive. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement. Spelling Spelling could be improved - see the tags. Grammar and proofreading Check and correct use of punctuation, particularly commas, semi-colons, and ownership apostrophes. Check and correct the use of [1]abbreviations (such as "e.g.," and "i.e.,")]. APA style Check and correct the APA style formatting of in-text citations. 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.
