Topic development feedback

edit

The topic development 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 see editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments below may also be about all material on the page at the time of providing this feedback.

 
  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  1. Excellent – used effectively
  2. Excellent description about self provided
  3. Link(s) provided to professional profile(s)
  4. Link provided to book chapter
  1. Excellent – at least one contribution has been made and summarised in a numbered list with direct link(s) to evidence
  1. Excellent – Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic
  2. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings - I've adjusted the Overview sub-headings to be bold but not headings
  3. This chapter will be a gateway to more specific chapters e.g., about dopamine, nucleus accumbens etc. So, for those key topics, look to summarise and provide embedded links to more specific chapters.
  1. Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  2. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  3. 3rd focus question is useful, but not necessary; so, if word count becomes an issue, that could be truncated, with links to dedicated chapters (e.g., hijack hypothesis)
  4. Promising balance of theory and research
  5. Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  6. Promising use of examples/case studies
  7. Be wary of overusing Reeve (2018) as a citation; ideally, go to original sources that may be cited in Reeve
  8. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Underway
  1. Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  1. Very good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. italicisation
    2. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Excellent

Social contribution

edit

1. when doing an in-text citation of a textbook (not for journal articles unless you quote) for a specific idea (like the brain reward system or a brain function table) it is useful for the reader to know the page number your are referencing, for example (Reeve, 2018, p. xxx) or multiple pages (Reeve, 2018, pp. xxx-xxx) is easier for the reader than (Reeve, 2018). It is consistent with APA referencing but I encourage you to look it up for further information if needed. Hope this helps. --Alec.cortez (discusscontribs) 22:30, 15 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

2. I note your title has a capital D (in differences), this should be lower case according to APA Style, where the first word after the colon is capitalized only if it begins a complete sentence.--Alec.cortez (discusscontribs) 23:27, 15 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

PLEASE IGNORE THIS SUGGESTION. The D on this page is system generated and does not need to be APA. Apologies for any confusion Alec.cortez (discusscontribs) 01:29, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

3. You have three figures on the right hand column (which is great). It would be beneficial to link them to your text. for example., ....the reward system in the nucleus accumblems, see figure 1

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful
  1. Good critical thinking about relevant research is evident

  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated
  1. Key points are well summarised
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
    2. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
    3. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings

    5. See earlier comments about heading casing
    6. Provide more descriptive headings
  3. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent
  4. APA style
    1. 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)

      1. Figures are reasonably well captioned
      2. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation)

      1. Table captions should use APA style. See example
      2. Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
    4. Citations use correct APA style
    5. References use correct APA style
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is excellent
  2. Some 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.
