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.
There is too much content for the time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to cover a small amount of well-targetted content than a large amount of poorly selected content.
The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory.
The presentation makes no use of relevant psychological research.
The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies.
The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio.
Basic intonation. Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement.
Audio recording quality was poor. Sounds like the narrator is at the far end of a tin can? Keyboard/mouse clicks audible. Consider using an external microphone.
The narrated content doesn't provide a sufficient synthesis of the best available psychological theory and research about the topic.

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.
Too long. Move detailed content in subsequent sections. The purpose of the Overview is to briefly explain the topic, engage reader interest, and establish focus questions for the chapter.
Add focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader and structure the chapter.
Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest.
Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
Use gender-neutral language (e.g., his -> their).
Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). 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.
APA style
Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.
Figures
Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
Overall, the use of learning features is insufficient.
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. See example.
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.
Basic use of image(s).
No use of table(s).
No use of feature box(es).
Basic use of quiz(zes).
No use of case studies or examples.
No use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
No use of external links in the "External links" section.
