Topic development feedback

edit

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.

 
  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  1. Created - minimal, but sufficient
  2. Brief description about self provided
  3. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter (consider renaming)
  1. Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence
  2. Love that you've created and uploaded this diagram.
  3. The image is probably more useful if uploaded in .png, .svg, .jpg format than .pdf - .svg is ideal, but .png is probably the easiest to generate.
  1. Promising 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development by expanding the 2nd level structure
  1. Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations, except the Conclusion
  2. Reeve (2018) is not a great reference because it is a secondary source. Instead, follow the key citations from Reeve to access original sources and utilise these.
  3. Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  4. Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) - more info
  5. For APA style, multiple citations should be alphabetical order.
  6. Use APA style 7th edition for citations with three or more authors (i.e., FirstAuthor et al., year)
  7. Two level hierarchy - perhaps also consider Alderfer's ERG model
  8. Perhaps also consider Roger's organismic valuing process
  9. Maybe take a look at life goals: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=life+goals
  10. Overview - Consider:
    1. abbreviating (some content can be moved into subsequent sections)
    2. providing a description of the problem and what will be covered
    3. focus questions
    4. an image
    5. an example or case study
  11. Good balance of theory and research
  12. Consider including more examples/case studies
  13. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. hasn't been developed
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title?
  1. Given Figure 2, I don't think the chapter needs Figure 1.
  2. Caption should include Figure X. ...
  3. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  4. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  5. Consider adjusting image size
  1. Very good
  2. Hanging indent added
  3. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. italicisation
    2. spacing between author initials
  1. See also
    1. Very good
    2. Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages
  2. External links
    1. Provide links to external sites here (apologies there was an error in the template) - links provided have been moved to See also

Student comments

edit

Hey. How are you? It looks like you are in the preliminary stages here, so I won't pick at this too much but consider: a) Using far more in-text links to alternative websites or wiki b) Consider how you are using your citations: are they recent/relevant and are there enough? For this task, you might need upwards of 20 citations to support your claims c) Not much use of colour. Colour is used to engage the reader. You will lose marks if you don't use colour. Check out my chapter for an example. d) I do really like the use of the two pictures, at first I wondered why you have used it twice, but upon further reading, it seems relevant. e) Add a conclusion! Also make sure the overview is short and sharp with a box for 'key learnings' Good luck

Overall

  1. Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
  1. Well developed Overview.
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon.
  3. Clear focus question(s).
  4. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest.
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory.
  3. Build more strongly on other self-actualisation-related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Self-actualisation.
  1. Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. Key citations are well used.
  3. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information.
  4. Useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts.
  1. Relevant research is reviewed.
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal.
  3. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Good critical thinking about research is evident.
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated.
  1. Key points are summarised.
  2. Consider reminding the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest.
  3. Clear take-home message(s).
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking.
    4. "People" is often a better term than "individuals".
  2. Layout
    1. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect.
    3. Check and correct use of semi-colons (;) and colons (:).
  4. APA style
  5. Direct quotes need page numbers. Check and correct APA style formatting for direct quotes.
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
      2. Figure captions use the correct format.
      3. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text.
      4. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).
    3. Tables
      1. Table captions should use APA style. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1).
    4. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname.
      2. 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)
      3. A full stop is needed after "et al" (i.e., "et al.").
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is very good.
  2. 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. See example.
  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. Basic use of image(s).
  5. Good use of table(s).
  6. Excellent use of feature box(es).
  7. Excellent use of quiz(zes).
  8. Excellent use of case studies or examples.
  9. Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
  10. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section.
  1. ~1 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence.
  2. A .png file would be preferable to a .pdf for an uploaded image.
