Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
Target an international audience; Australians only represent 0.33% of the world population. For example, the detail of Table 2 is probably too local to Australia to be of much interest to an international audience, especially as it doesn't mention lived experience directly.
Overview - Abbreviate to include:
a description of the problem and what will be covered
an image
an example or case study
Use APA style citations to peer-reviewed sources, with the references listed in the References section
For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) - even better, write in your own words
I like the direct and applied focus
Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
Currently there is an overreliance on links to non-academic sources. However, key non-academic sources can be included in the External links section.
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
Excellent use of examples/case studies
Conclusion (the most important section):
under way
what might the take-home, practical messages be?
in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?
Ok! Great topic, wow!
I would never have even considered this on a day-to-day level, which is why I think choosing this is fab.
Some basic tips and tricks for you!
Love the third figure, the first two are pretty basic, BUT I appreciate that this is a really hard topic to find wiki-approved pictures for.
While I love a good table, think about the reader. Consider all the times in lectures or textbooks where you are expected to read multiple tables...I pretty much never do because they are a) unengaging and b) APA tables are always full of info that is mathematical so i tend to skip. While the table here is relevant, i personally think you will earn marks for leaving it out or at least making it more aesthetically pleasing than leaving it as is. Perhaps consider leaving one and presenting the other differently? -> Not a major criticism as much as I just want you to make the most of the marking criteria!
The way you have set up your headings seems odd...not sure what Dr Neil said in the comments for the 5% topic development, but I would consider making most of those as either a) BIG headings and b) Those which can be under headings as smaller subheadings.
Overall a great draft. I do appreciate the timeline table is comprehensive and necessary but consider a visual timeline which is shorter and then maybe some supplementary events in writing underneath...?
Have a good rest of the term :)
RE: Use of Peer workers & Peer leaders in Personality Disorder treatment
Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
Hey Kim!
I've written a little bit in the discussion page on UCLearn, but here are three journal articles that discuss the efficacy of using peer workers in the models for treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder. You might find them helpful/interesting to use as another small case study, or to integrate into the "Lived experience workforce in mental health system" or "Lived experience and mental health professionals" section? I know it may seem niche, but use of lived experience peer workers and peer leaders in BPD treatment have really strong efficacy, and moving forward, they will be further integrated into health service systems and treatment for all sorts of mental health issues. In my research with Project Air Strategy I worked on a research paper discussing the effectiveness of suicide prevention programs and modelling across Australia and most of the suicide programs (eg. The Way Back, Next Steps, SPOT/ SafeHaven, HOPE program) used peer support workers at the core of their treatment. Please ask my anything about this topic because I spent WEEKS doing research on it.

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 excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
Use permanent, rather than relative, time references. For example, instead of "20 years ago", refer to something like "at the beginning of the 21st century". In this way, the text will survive better into the future, without needing to be rewritten.
Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
The chapter could be improved by developing some of the bullet-points into full paragraph format.
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent.
APA style
Replace double spaces with single spaces.
Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159).
Overall, the use of learning features is excellent.
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. # Basic 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.
Excellent use of image(s).
No use of table(s).
Excellent use of feature box(es).
No use of quiz(zes).
Excellent use of case studies or examples.
Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
Good use of external links in the "External links" section.
