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.
Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations.
Use primary academic sources as references. For example, Headspace is most likely a secondary source, not a primary source. Headspace is also very Australian. Target an international audience. You need to read and synthesise the best available academic literature on the topic and not rely on websites. Websites can be used, however, in External links.
Avoid providing too much background information (e.g., about trauma and creative arts therapy as separate constructs). Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to other book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) - even better, write in your own words.
Use APA style 7th edition for citations with three or more authors (i.e., use FirstAuthor et al., year).
Overview - Consider adding:
a description of the problem
focus questions
an image
an example or case study
Expand theory and research.
The best sentence so far is "Creative arts therapy is the expression of the unconscious and non verbalised, through creative arts expressive symbolism, which can be beneficial when dealing with trauma on an neurological and biological level as shown in the decrease of emotional distress in the additional research and case studies section." - expand the chapter with this focus.
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
Conclusion (the most important section):
what might the take-home, practical messages be?
in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question in the sub-title?

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. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
Overall, this is an insufficient and incomplete chapter. My guess is that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter and that the assessment skills taught in tutorials haven't been sufficiently developed.
Coverage of theory is promising, but insufficient.
There is an over reliance on a small number of citations (e.g., Czamanski-Cohen & Weihs, 2016)
Consider providing separate sub-sections for each theoretical perspective about how creative arts may be useful in dealing with trauma (e.g., cognitive, neuroscience etc.)
Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by incorporating embedded links to other chapters about art therapy and/or trauma).
There are too many top-level headings and too few sub-headings.
Grammar
The grammar for many sentences is incorrect. The quality of written expression is below professional standard. Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1].
Spelling
Spell checking is needed.
Proofreading
More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
Remove excessive capitalisation (e.g., there should be no capitals in this passage: "... topics such as Hedonism, Aesthetics, Positive psychology Mind-body dualism and memory consolidation, neurobiology. Creative arts therapy, in ...".
APA style
Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.

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.
The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio.
Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement.
Audio recording quality was OK. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard clicks audible). Consider using an external microphone.
The chapter title but not the sub-title is used in the name of the presentation - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
A written description of the presentation is not provided.
A link to the book chapter is not provided.
A link from the book chapter is provided.
The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids.
Image sources and their copyright status are not provided. Either provide details about the image sources and their copyright licenses in the presentation description or remove the presentation.
This presentation may have violated the copyrights of image owners as images appear to have been used without permission and/or acknowledgement.

Notable points about the multimedia presentation resubmission:
Overall
This is a basic but sufficient presentation.
The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking purposes.
Overview
The opening slide presents and narrates the title and sub-title in a basic way. No further context provided.
Check and correct grammar (e.g., question mark missing from title of slide shown at 00:39 mins).
Content
Trauma is defined.
Creative arts therapy is defined.
A basic explanation of theory is provided. No specific emotional theories are mentioned or cited.
Two research studies about creative art therapy interventions are described.
Effect sizes would be more useful in addition to p values - i.e., how much change was there?
Conclusion
Does not fit within the time limit, so ignored for marking purposes.
Audio
The narrated audio is clear and well-paced with reasonable intonation.
Recording quality is OK. There is some white noise.
Video
The visual presentation makes good use of text and images.
The text size is easy to read.
The amount of text per slide could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time.
The visual content is relevant to the topic.
Hide the presentation icon (in the middle of the screen).
Meta-data
The presentation uses the correct title and partially correct sub-title.
No description of the presentation is provided.
A link to the book chapter is provided.
No link from the book chapter to the updated presentation is provided. I've made this change.

Copyright restricted images have been used without permission, violating the rights of the copyright owner. For example, the image shown at 00:30 mins clearly indicates the copyright status in the bottom right corner of the image. This presentation should be removed.
