Chapter development

edit

Hi, It looks like you have a great outline of your chapter. One minor edit you could make is to have a section titled 'what is approach motivation' and 'how does approach motivation lead to behaviour', as these are the subtitle of the chapter. Keep going!

Hello! I like the book chapter outline so far and it looks like you have a good plan so far. I would suggest implementing some Case study Boxes, Example Boxes and more interactive features such as a quick true or false to help engage your reader. Good work so far!

Overall

  1. Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Well developed Overview
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or example and/or using an image
  4. Clear focus question(s)
  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Builds somewhat on previous, related chapters
  1. Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  1. Excellent review of relevant research
  1. Very good critical thinking about relevant 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. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Claims are referenced
  1. Excellent integration between theory and research
  1. Excellent summary and conclusion
  2. Insufficient as a cohesive summary of the best available psychological theory and research about the topic
  3. Key points are well summarised
  4. Clear take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent
    2. Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2]
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences.
    4. Direct quotes are over-used. Even better, communicate concepts in your own words.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
  3. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[3] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min)
    2. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect
  4. APA style
    1. Write numbers under 10 using words (e.g., five). Write numbers 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 10).
    2. Figures
      1. Figures are well captioned
      2. Figure captions use the correct format
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    3. Citations use correct APA style
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[4]
  1. Excellent use of learning features
  2. Very 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 even more interactive. See example.
  3. One 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.
  4. Very good use of image(s)
  5. Very good use of feature box(es)
  6. Excellent use of quiz(zes)
  7. Very good use of case studies or examples
  8. Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  9. Good use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~7 logged, useful, mostly minor social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia presentation feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site.

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a basic presentation
  2. The presentation is over the maximum time limit — content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking and feedback purposes
  1. An opening slide with the title is displayed. Also display and narrate the sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. This presentation has a basic introduction
  3. Consider creating an engaging introduction to hook audience interest
  4. A basic context for the topic is established
  5. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.
  1. Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
  2. The presentation addresses the topic
  3. The presentation is well/poorly structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion)
  4. The presentation makes excellent use of relevant psychological theory
  5. The presentation makes insufficient use of relevant psychological research
  6. The presentation includes citations to support claims
  7. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies
  1. The Conclusion did not fit within the time limit
  1. The audio is easy to follow
  2. The presentation makes good use of narrated audio
  3. Audio communication is well paced
  4. Good intonation
  5. The narration is well practiced
  6. Audio recording quality was OK. Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard and/or mouse clicks were audible). Consider using an external microphone.
  1. Overall, visual display quality is basic
  2. The presentation makes basic use of text-based slides, with very basic use of images
  3. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read
  4. The amount of text presented on some slides could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time
  5. The visual communication could be improved by including more relevant images and/or diagrams
  6. The presentation is basically produced using simple tools
  1. The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  2. A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
  3. Links to and from the book chapter are provided
  4. A link to the book chapter is provided
  1. Image sources and their copyright status are communicated
