Overall, this is a solid chapter that makes good use of 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 basic
Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
"People" is often a better term than "individuals"
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
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.
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)
Proofreading
More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
APA style
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)
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.
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.
Basic use of image(s)
No use of table(s)
Good use of feature box(es)
No use of quiz(zes)
Good use of case studies or examples
No use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
No use of external links in the "External links" section

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.
An opening slide with the title is displayed very briefly. 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.
Establish a context for the topic (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand
Focus questions are presented very briefly (too fast to read). They are not narrated.
A Conclusion slide is presented with excellent/very good/good take-home message(s)
A Conclusion slide is presented with a basic summary
The presentation could be strengthened by expanding on the take-home message (e.g., answers to more than one focus question)
What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives based on the best available psychological theory and research about this topic?
The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages in response to each focus question
The Conclusion only partly fitted within the time limit
The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio
Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point
The audio communication could benefit from further practice
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.
The video title does not match the chapter title and sub-title — this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation and be more consistent
A written description of the presentation is not provided. Providing an informative description can help viewers decide whether they want to watch or not.
