Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2020/Deliberate practice and mastery

Welcome

edit

This chapter is under development, but I would love your thoughts as the chapter progresses.

Heading casing

edit
 
FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be:

== Cats and mice ==

rather than

== Cats and Mice ==

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a very good chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. The main area for potential improvement is in proofreading and grammar. But this is relatively minor compared to the excellent description of theory and related research.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained.
  2. Examples/case studies are well used.
  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. When describing important research findings, consider indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Highlighting major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good, but some grammar tweaks and better proofreading would be ideal.
    2. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1].
    3. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    2. 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. Use bullet-points (e.g., for the external links section) and numbered lists (in main body), per Tutorial 1.
    2. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
    3. Good use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding more in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    4. Basic use of image(s).
    5. Basic use of table(s).
    6. Good use of feature box(es).
    7. No use of quiz(zes).
  4. Grammar
    1. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
    3. Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video.
    4. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.).
      2. Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses.
      3. Use abbreviations sparingly. Do not use abbreviations for minor terms that aren't used very much in the chapter.
  5. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
  6. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
  7. APA style
    1. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159).
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    3. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    4. In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    5. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., check and correct capitalisation).
    6. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. A full stop is needed after "et al" (i.e., "et al.").
    7. References use correct APA style.
    8. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
  1. ~2 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence; 2 with indirect links to evidence.
