Consider what case studies/scenarios might be relevant e.g., community resilience to natural disasters
If you would prefer to focus on a more specific context for community resilience, rather than in general, let me know and we can renegotiate the topic.
Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along.

Hello,
I find it really important that you mention climate change under your topic. I suggest looking at how communities close to the equator can foster "climate resilience". Especially in light of the unjust and disproportionate effects this has on their communities compared to those in more safeguarded locations Sireyes (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Could be improved by expanding the top-level and next-level headings
The headings seem to emphasise specific groups/examples - these can be useful as case studies but the topic is more about the psychology theory and research pertaining to CR
Top-level headings could be more closely aligned with the focus questions
Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with (mostly) direct link(s) to evidence

Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.

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.
A Conclusion slide is presented with very good take-home message(s)
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 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.
A written description of the presentation is provided

@U3213682:, @Jtneill: Suppose the topic had been phrased differently, e.g. "What makes a resilient community?", "The features of a resilient community", etc. Jtneill, I understand you choose the exact wording of the title and topic? The fourth sentence of the resource reads "Yet, their social capacities, shared goals, and common knowledge resulted in a level of community resilience that facilitated effective recovery efforts." If you try rewording it without nominalized adjective 'resilience', then you end up with something more concise and clean, like The community recovered quickly because of its social capacities, shared goals, and common knowledge. I think this is a matter of how the assignment is posed. Phrasing like community resilience tends to encourage the sort of style represented by the sentence I quoted. If the topic is community resilience itself then there's nothing to write about unless the student invents a more specific topic, as in the alternate titles I suggested.

In other words, the phrasing should not make a nominal adjective such as resilience the subject itself. We already know what the word resilience means. One feels like they're trying to add to a dictionary. AP295 (discuss • contribs) 10:05, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
