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 09:39, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Title, sub-title, TOC Excellent User page Created, but minimal Social contribution None logged on user page Section headings Excellent structure See earlier comment about capitalisation of headings Consider using sub-headings e.g., in the "Reactance" section Key points Well thought through, including theory, research, and practical example Image Very good; consider expanding image size References Wide range, but not in full APA style e.g., provide full name of journal, use of italics, use the new recommended format for dois - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.html, do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume, etc. Resources See also Excellent External links Rename the links

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully weaves psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world problem. For additional feedback, see these copyedits. Theory Theories were well described and explained, with lots of examples. The Conclusion could offer some more specific take-home messages. Research Good coverage of a wide range of relevant research in many different applied areas. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Some statements were unreferenced - see the tags Written expression Written expression The chapter is over the maximum word count. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing Sub-headings have been added. The chapter is well structured. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Learning features Adding interwiki links would make the text more interactive. Basic use of images. No use of tables. Basic use of quizzes. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading Use Australian spelling - e.g., hypothesize -> hypothesise APA style Citations A full-stop is needed after et al. References are not in full APA style e.g., Check and correct alphabetical order Check and correct full journal names Check and correct italicisation See new doi format Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within volumes.

Overall Overall, this is well executed presentation. Structure and content Well selected and structured content - not too much or too little. Narrate the Title and Sub-title. Good example questions in the Overview. Also outline what the presentation will cover. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Citations and references? Communication The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to. Production quality Use the full chapter title and sub-title in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio and video recording quality was excellent.
