Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be: == Cats and mice == rather than == Cats and Mice == -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:25, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

The topic development 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 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 OK Sub-title and title have been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents Capitalisation of the title andsub-title have been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents User page Created - minimal, but sufficient Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks. Social contribution None summarised with link(s) to evidence. Section headings Basic, 2-level heading structure. See earlier comment about Heading casing. Key points Good Overview - Consider adding: a description of the problem and what will be covered an image an example or case study Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) - even better, write in your own words. Conclusion (the most important section): hasn't been developed what might the take-home, practical messages be? Image An image (figure) is presented. Caption does not use APA style. could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text. Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Very good For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation Resources Remove overcapitalisation - use sentence casing See also Use bullet-points Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages External links Excellent

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

Overall Overall, this chapter does a good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Theory UGT is well explained, with breadth of coverage, historical review, and useful explanatory tables. The online survey provide an interactive touch. One or more case studies could be useful. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory, with useful examples. Quite a bit of the research is cited is already quite dated/historical. Particularly for this topic, it would be ideal to focus on UGT studies in the last 5 or so years. Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1]. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. The Overview and Conclusion are reasonably useful. An individual example or case study in the Overview could help to catch reader interest and illustrate UGT in action. Layout Consider revising the heading structure - it appears that the bulk of the content is within "history" rather than exploration of UGT itself. Learning features Use bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1 - this would help to tidy up the chapter/make it look neater. Good 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. 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. Minimal use of image(s). Very good use of table(s). Very good use of feature box(es). No use of quiz(zes). Grammar Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals'). Check and correct use of affect vs. effect. APA style In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. Figures and tables Cite each Table and Figure using APA style. Citations are not in full APA style. For example: Remove author initials Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either: in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020) References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation. Social contribution ~2 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn 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 an excellent presentation. Structure and content An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little. The presentation is well structured. Add and narrate an initial title/sub-title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Consider adding and narrating an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. The presentation makes excellent use of theory. The presentation makes little use of research. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies. A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s). Communication The presentation is fun and interesting to watch and listen to. The presentation makes effective use of animated slides with narrated audio. Well paced. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. Production quality The video is very well produced. The wording and/or formatting/grammar of the title/sub-title is inconsistent between the name of the video, the opening slide, and/or the book chapter. Audio recording quality was very good. Visual display quality was excellent. Image sources and their copyright status are provided. A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A link to the book chapter is provided. A link from the book chapter is provided. A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
