Hi,
I've been reading Notes from Underground (Dostoevsky) and the main character in the book talks alot about how he feels that fear has stopped him from being able to make choices and how he feels very unable to move forward because of his anxieties. I just found this really interesting given the topic of this chapter and thought you might too! I think you've done a great job laying out this chapter, making it flow, and making it look really nice as well.

Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
Conclusion (the most important section):
Take-home messages lack sufficient relevant to the relation between choice and emotion. Review focus questions. And provide a take-home message for each focus question.
Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned
Well done on creating and uploading your own image! – this can also be listed as a social contribution. Fix spelling error. Include citation for source(s) in caption.
Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text

Overall, this is a very good chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem.
Most aspects are excellent. The key areas for potential improvement are focusing in on the topic (emotion and topic) throughout the chapter (sometimes the chapter seems to drift) and the quality of written expression (grammar).
The sub-title was incorrect. Have fixed it.
Excellent use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
Overall, the quality of written expression is good to very good
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
Grammar
The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
Abbreviations
Only use abbreviations such as e.g., i.e., et al., etc. inside parentheses, otherwise spell them out
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" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159)
Express numbers < 10 using words (e.g., two) and >= 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 99)
Figures
Figures are well captioned
Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
Tables
Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
Use one referencing style (either APA style of wiki style), not both styles
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles
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.
Excellent use of image(s)
Excellent use of table(s)
Excellent use of feature box(es)
Excellent use of case studies or examples
Very good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
Reasonably good use of interwiki links in the "See also" 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.
An example is used to hook audience interest; perhaps this example could be clearer about how emotion can affect choice
A context for the presentation is established
Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.
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 narrated content is reasonably well matched to the target topic but lacked synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic
The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation
A written description of the presentation is provided
Excellent use of time codes
Links to and from the book chapter are provided
An active hyperlink to the book chapter is provided
The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids. This creates limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist. More info.
