Heading casing

edit
 
FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Hi Josh - looking great so far. ---- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:44, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi, edited your reference list to put journal sources in italics. --U3170393 (discusscontribs) 10:21, 1 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hey, found an interesting journal article that may be useful for your book chapter: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/spc3.12007 --Matthewshats97 (discusscontribs) 17:55, 9 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hey if you're looking for another theory to connect your article too, I think the Fraud Triangle could be an interesting theory to look at. In a way it adds another element to the motivational intensity theory and is more specific in its action direction. --Jackmccann021 (discusscontribs) 07:53, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Great book chapter. Just a quick suggestion before you submit your book chapter: Consider using interwiki links :) - Good luck! --U3145293 (discusscontribs) 09:30, 20 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a moderately good chapter that uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. How does the Overview case study illustrate MIT? Explain.
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.
  1. Relevant theory is selected, described, and explained.
  2. More examples would be helpful.
  3. Some of the explanation is convoluted. Try providing some simple summaries at the beginning and end of major sections.
  1. Relevant research is reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonably good.
    2. Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
    3. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").
    5. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
  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. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
    3. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect.
  4. APA style
    1. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    3. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).
    4. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Select up to a maximum top three citations per point (i.e., avoid citing four or more citations to support a single point).
      2. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
  1. ~13 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is an excellent presentation that makes effective use of animation.
  1. I'm not sure the opening example clearly explains MIT? Wouldn't it make more sense the other way around (e.g., I would go to see the band if 5 mins away but less likely if 10 hours away?).
  2. The rest is excellent - clear explanations with examples.
  3. The presentation is well structured.
  4. The presentation could be strengthened by adding an Overview slide and a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages.
  1. The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to.
  2. Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
  3. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
  4. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read.
  5. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
  1. The chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Also use this title and sub-title for the video title.
  2. Audio and video recording quality was excellent.
  3. Image sources and their copyright status are not provided.
  4. A copyright license for the presentation is provided.
  5. A link to the book chapter is provided.
  6. A link from the book chapter is provided.
  7. A very brief written description of the presentation is provided.
