Title and sub-title

edit
  1. Incorrect
  2. Sub-title and title have been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents

Social contribution

edit
  1. None summarised with link(s) to evidence.

Section headings

edit
  1. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings.
  2. Under-developed heading structure - develop further, including expanding the 2-level structure for the larger planned section(s).
  3. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections.
  4. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.

Key points

edit
  1. Very limited, incomplete development with no citations  
  2. There is no evidence that theory and research literature has been consulted e.g., no Antonovsky citations.

Image

edit
  1. None provided

References

edit
  1. 1 out of 3 required references, not in APA style, and not cited
  2. The reference is provided using 2 different styles - APA style and wiki style - decide on one

Heading casing

edit
 
FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example:

Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory

Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is an insufficient chapter.
  2. Sub-title was incorrect; now fixed.
  3. Overview lacks sufficient development.
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Basic but sufficient coverage of the overall theory is provided, but there is a lack of sufficient coverage of what is known about each of the three SOC components including how they relate to other psychological theory(ies) and research.
  2. SOC is not really a medical model. A biopsychosocial model is a better description.
  3. The chapter could be improved by providing a more comprehensive overview of the core SOC constructs and related theory and research.
  4. I don't understand the missing parts of the sample measurement items. Explain.
  1. Some relevant research is reviewed.
  2. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail (e.g., about the methodology and/or indicating the size of effects) in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  4. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard.
    2. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1].
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead, use section linking.
    4. The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s) (Overview) and take-home self-help message for each focus question (Conclusion).
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter lacks structural development (i.e., major headings and sub-headings).
    2. See earlier comments about heading casing.
  3. Learning features
    1. Minimal use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
    2. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Ideally, use in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Other links can be moved to the external links section.
    4. Minimal use of image(s).
    5. No use of table(s).
    6. Good use of feature box(es).
    7. Good use of quiz(zes).
    8. No use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video.
    2. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
  5. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags).
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
    3. 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.
    2. Replace double spaces with single spaces.
  7. APA style
    1. In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    3. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style for Figure captions. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    4. Citations use correct APA style.
    5. References uses a mixture of wiki style and APA style. Either is fine, but be consistent. For APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      3. Include hyperlinked dois.
      4. Move non-peer-reviewed sources into external links. Move peer-reviewed sources from external links to references.
  1. No logged social contributions

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is an insufficient presentation mainly because it mainly only addresses what is SOC from a theoretical point of view within the first three minutes. There is little coverage of research, how its developed, or what its effects are within the first three minutes.
  2. The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking purposes.
  1. There is too much content, in too much detail, to be presented within the allocated time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to do a small amount well than a large amount poorly.
  2. This presentation doesn't adequately address the topic.
  3. The presentation is poorly planned.
  4. Consider adding and narrating an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
  5. The selection of content is poor because it doesn't adequately use the most relevant psychological theory and/or research to address the topic.
  6. The presentation makes basic use of theory.
  7. The presentation makes little use of research.
  8. The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies.
  9. What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives based on the best available psychological theory and research about this topic?
  1. The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides with narrated audio.
  2. Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read. Less text per slide would also help.
  3. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images, although the diagram is helpful.
  1. The sub-title is missing in both the video title and on the opening slide - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. Audio recording quality was OK.
  3. Visual display quality was good.
  4. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.
  5. A link to the book chapter is not provided.
  6. A link from the book chapter is provided.
  7. A written description of the presentation is not provided.
