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.
Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided
Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
There is too much general theoretical material. Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).
It is unclear how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation relates to this topic.
It is unclear how Maslow's hierarchy of needs relates to this topic.
It is unclear how incentive theory relates to this topic.
Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
As discussed in Tutorial 02, use the default font size; big tags removed
Title capitalisation fixed
Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
Use "participants" rather than "subjects" (APA style)
"People" is often a better term than "individuals"
Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning
Layout
Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections
Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
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.
Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[1]
Check and correct consistency of "closeness-communication" and "closeness communication"
Spelling
Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
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)
Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words
Replace double spaces with single spaces
Figures
Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example
Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles
Very basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding 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.
Very good use of quiz(zes) and reflection questions
The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end
Basic use of case studies or examples
Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
Basic use of external links in the "External links" section. It is doubtful that these are key resources about this topic.

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.
Overall, this is an insufficient presentation mainly because it fails to directly address the topic (see the sub-title), wanders off into general motivation theory, and is well over the maximum time limit — content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking and feedback purposes
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.
This presentation has a basic introduction
Consider creating a more engaging introduction to hook audience interest
A basic context for the topic is established
Focus questions are presented. They could be improved by being less general and more focused on directly unpacking the topic. The two key questions should be, as per the sub-title, why does it occur, and how can it be overcome?
Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
The presentation does not adequately addresses the topic
There is too much content, in too much detail, presented within the allocated 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 very good use of relevant psychological theory
The presentation makes little to no use of relevant psychological research
Skip the section on motivation (too general) and stay more directly focused on the sub-title questions
The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice
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.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
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. This introduces limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist. More info.
