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 ==

Title and sub-title

edit
  1. Excellent

User page

edit
  1. Excellent

Social contribution

edit
  1. Summarised with direct link(s) to evidence - however the 2nd and 3rd links do not go to accurate comparison pages

Section headings

edit
  1. Basic, 2-level heading structure - where's productivity?

could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure.

  1. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclus, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections.
  2. Promising 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development by expanding the structure.
  3. Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic.
  4. Overly complicated 3-level structure - consider simplifying.
  5. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  6. See earlier comment about Heading casing.
  7. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.

Key points

edit
  1. No or minimal development

Image

edit
  1. An image (figure) is presented.
  2. Caption
    1. uses APA style.
    2. explains how the image connects to key points being made in the main text.
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References

edit
  1. Good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation

Resources

Grammar, flow, references

edit

Hey Emma!

I just did some last minute edits for you, they were just:

  • Minor grammatical fixes
  • Fixing the flow of some sentences
  • Italicising and fixing the capitalisation of references.

Hope this helps!

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a promising but insufficient chapter.
  2. The main areas for potential improvement are:
    1. Expanding the theoretical connection between UB and related concepts. Since there is somewhat limited information about UB per se, it is necessary to provide a broader theoretical context.
    2. Expanding the review of research about UB and its effects.
    3. The quality of written expression can be improved.
    4. More examples/case studies and practical suggestions could be provided.
    5. Relatively few peer-reviewed references are currently used.
  3. This chapter is well under the maximum word count.
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Basic explanation of UB is provided.
  2. More examples/case studies of UB, and how to overcome it, would be useful. Some of the examples provided are not clear.
  3. More connections with related concepts would be beneficial to provide a broader theoretical context.
  4. Did you consult Eisenhower (1954)? If not, this should be a secondary citation.
  5. Some other theoretical aspects that could be considered in relation to UB:
    1. delay discounting
    2. negative urgency
    3. positive urgency
    4. salience bias
    5. time management
    6. etc.
  1. Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of research.
  2. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and 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.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate 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.
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Table 1 and Figure 1 seem to be somewhat redundant; consider integrating into a single, more comprehensive figure or table.
    2. No 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.
    3. One 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. One use of image(s).
    5. One use of table(s).
    6. Basic use of feature box(es).
    7. Basic use of quiz(zes).
  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.
  5. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').
    3. Check and make correct use of commas.
    4. Check and correct use of that vs. who.
  6. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    3. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics or full-stop).
    4. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      3. Include hyperlinked dois.
