Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter
  2. This chapter "beats around the bush" with general grief material before starting to directly tackle the target topic in the section titled "Place attachment theory"
  3. Obtaining topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid Overview
  2. Explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
  4. Add focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader and structure the chapter
  1. Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided
  2. Much less detail is needed about grief in general as an emotional construct. Instead, summarise, and provide embedded link(s) to related book chapters.
  3. Reduce the historical emphasis; increase the contemporary emphasis
  4. Build more strongly on other nature-related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Nature)
  1. Basic depth is provided about eco-grief focused theory(ies)
  2. Too much depth is provided about general grief theories
  3. Tables and/or lists could be used more effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  4. Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Basic overview of relevant research
  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. Basic 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. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Claims are mostly referenced
  1. Discussion of theory and research is reasonably well integrated
  1. Key points are well summarised
  2. Add practical, 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 starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
    4. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
    2. Consider using topics rather than author names as headings
    3. Consider reducing the general grief heading structure and expanding the eco-grief heading structure
  3. Grammar
    1. 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.
    2. Check and make correct use of commas
  4. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. 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)
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are reasonably well captioned
      2. Could provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      3. Figure captions use the correct format
      4. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style
      5. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation)
    4. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[1]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic
  2. Very good 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Good use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Good use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes)
  8. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being focused on eco-grief
  9. No use of case studies or examples
  10. Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
  11. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section. Use bullet-points.
  1. No logged social contributions
