Hi! I made some changes to your reference list to ensure doi's were displayed correctly and I deleted the issue numbers as they are not required. Good luck with your book chapter! --Bridie Mcinerney (discusscontribs) 06:45, 16 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is an insufficient chapter in large part because so much consisted of direct quotes and also because the chapter completely misses the vicarious aspect of the topic.
  2. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.
  1. PTSD does not necessarily lead to PTG. Rather, T could lead to PTSD or PTG. Subtle, but important theoretical distinction.
  2. This chapter focuses on PTG rather than VPTG.
  3. Some theory is discussed, but there is a lack of conceptual grasp of VT and VG.
  1. Some relevant research is mentioned, but little independent understanding is evident due to the amount of direct quoting.
  1. Written expression
    1. Direct quotes are over-used. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words. Direct quotes do not demonstrate achievement of learning outcomes  . Direct quotes were ignored for marking purposes.
    2. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").
    3. Use third person perspective, rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
  2. Layout
    1. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. The answers for the first quiz question don't make sense (should be yes/no).
    2. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    3. Basic use of images.
    4. No use of tables.
    5. No use of feature boxes.
    6. Basic use of quizzes.
    7. No use of case studies or examples.
  4. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading.
    1. Use serial commas.
    2. Check and make correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's).
    3. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
  5. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. Use APA style for Figure captions. See example.
    3. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text.
    4. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
    5. References are not in full APA style e.g.,
      1. Check and make correct use of capitalisation.

  2. Some definition and theory is covered.
  3. No research review.
  4. No examples.
  5. No practical take-home messages.
  1. No narration.
  2. No images.

  2. No narration.
  3. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.

  5. No written description of the presentation is provided.
