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. Description about self provided
  3. Link(s) provided to professional profile(s)

  2. Room for possible expansion as the chapter drafting develops
  1. Promising development of key points for some sections, with relevant citations
  2. More needed on pros and cons, especially cons

    1. an evocative description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. an example or case study
  5. Provide an embedded link to the chapter about the Eisenhower matrix
  6. Promising balance of theory and research
  7. Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  8. Consider including more examples/case studies

    1. Hasn't been developed
  1. Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  1. Good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation
    3. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  1. See also
    1. Very good
    2. Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages
  2. External links
    1. Very good (capitalisation adjusted)

Suggestion

edit

Hi there,

I have a real interest in your book chapter as I LOVE to-do-lists and would be lost without them. I found a resource which may be helpful in looking at to-do-lists in an innovative/IT focused way as opposed to the traditional pen and paper method. It may generate some new perspectives/ideas for you in the development of your topic. All the best!

Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

 

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a promising, but insufficient chapter due to the lack of use of the most relevant psychological research.
  2. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid Overview
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  3. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest
  4. Clear focus question(s)
  1. Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided
Build more strongly on other goal setting-related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Goal setting)
  1. Basic depth is provided about the selected theory(ies)
  2. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts
  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological research
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful
  1. Insufficient 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. Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Insufficient integration of relevant theory and research
  1. Basic summary
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good
    2. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
    3. 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.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
  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. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
    2. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  5. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
  6. 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)
    2. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    3. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words
    4. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    5. Citations use correct APA style
  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic
  2. Basic 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. 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. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. No use of quiz(zes)
  8. No use of case studies or examples
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Also include links to related Wikipedia articles
    2. Include sources in parentheses
  10. Very good/ use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~1 logged, useful, minor/moderate/major social contributions with direct links to evidence

  2. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides
  3. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read

  1. The chapter sub-title but not the chapter title is used in the name of the presentation. The title 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. 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.
