Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:59, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Your book chapter looks great! Perhaps just consider if there is a link between rewards of novelty seeking, whether the role of planned behaviour plays a role. --BMPENFOLD (discuss • contribs) 03:16, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Sounds like an interesting topic! Make sure when referencing a study you include all authors for the first citation (unless there are 6 or more) and then for subsequent citation you may use et al https://research.moreheadstate.edu/c.php?g=107001&p=695202.

Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title and sub-title Very good User page Created, with description about self Add link to book chapter Social contribution Summarised with direct links to evidence. Section headings Promising 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development by expanding the structure. See earlier comment about Heading casing. Key points Basic to good development of key points for most sections, with relevant citations. Some sections empty. Overview - Consider adding focus questions. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end. Image An image (figure) is presented. Caption uses APA style. Caption explains how the image connects to key points being made in the main text. Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Good. For full APA style, use: the new recommended format for dois no issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume (i.e., most of them). Resources See also Use bullet-points Rename links so that they are more user friendly External links Rename links so that they are more user friendly Include source in brackets after link

Social contribution

Hi, you have such an interesting topic and I love the direction that you have chosen to take through discussing the impact in a criminal setting. I have found the following links and thought that they may be useful.

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 UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall There is a lot to like about this chapter and it has clear potential of being a high quality chapter. The main area for improvement is developing from bullet-points to paragraphs for the main content. Measurement of NS is of some, but not primary interest. So, it should be demoted below a review of theory, research, and applied practice. Ironically, it seems that much of the research cited uses other measurement techniques such as neurophysiological approaches. This chapter is under the maximum word count. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. More explanation is needed of some of the technical information. This is where linking to the measurement section could potentially be useful. Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is good. The main area for improvement is developing full paragraphs for the main content. Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Learning features Very basic use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Good use of images. No use of tables. Basic use of feature boxes. Basic use of quizzes. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end. Basic use of case studies or examples. Grammar Check and correct use of affect vs. effect. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1]. APA style Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10). Figures and tables Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1). Citations are not in full APA style. For example: A full stop is needed after "et al" (i.e., "et al."). References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation. See new doi format.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient presentation. Structure and content The opening slide topic (NS and crime) doesn't match the book chapter title and sub-title. Criminality could be used as an example/case study, but it doesn't match sense to adjust the focus away from the original topic. Having said that, the presentation only addresses NS and crime towards the end. The presentation lacks slides for the Overview and Conclusion with with practical, take-home messages. Overall, there is too much content. Aim to present less content, more effectively. Work out what the take-home messages are and work backwards from there. Communication The presentation is very text-based. The slides are too dense with text which makes it difficult to read and listen. Consider using more slides with larger font size and less text. Reasonably well paced. Consider leaving longer pauses between sentences and slides. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images. Production quality Use the chapter title and sub-title on the opening slide and 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 very good. A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A link to the book chapter is provided. A link from the book chapter was not provided. A very brief written description of the presentation is provided.
