Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Ecopsychology and stress

Initial suggestions

@Dnamynts: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Nature
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Stress
• What psychological theories can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:43, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Heading casing

FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example: Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:05, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted Headings Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Incorporate definition material into the Overview and/or subsequent sections with embedded inter-wiki link(s) to further information. Drop the definitional headings. Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections Overview Add a scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest Citations should be in alphabetical order (APA style) Provide a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended At least three focus questions are recommended Key points 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, with practical examples Conclusion (the most important section): Underway What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?) Figure A relevant figure is presented and captioned Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Captions should start with a capital letter Cite each figure at least once in the main text Learning feature 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 Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies) Promising use of quiz question(s) References OK For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation italicisation page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) remove book publisher location Resources See also OK Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages Move external links to the External links section External links Very good Use sentence casing User page Excellent – used effectively Excellent description about self provided 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.

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

Overall 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. Over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes. Obtaining (earlier) comments on a chapter plan via the topic development exercise could have helped to improve the chapter For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Underdeveloped Engage reader interest by presenting a case study or scenario with an image in a feature box Explains the problem or phenomenon Underdeveloped focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related Wikipedia articles Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Very good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Very good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Very good to excellent review of relevant research Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration Very good integration between theory and research Conclusion Very good summary and conclusion There are some ideas in the Conclusion that don't appear earlier Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest Key points are well summarised Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good However, the chapter is over the word count and consists of many bullet points rather than mostly sentences and paragraphs Internationalise: Write for an international, rather than domestic, audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population. However, Australian ecopsychology can be used as an example. The chapter could be improved by developing some of the bullet points into full sentences and paragraphs 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 Layout Avoid having sections with a single sub-section Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Figures Figures are well captioned Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses List multiple citations in alphabetical order by first author surname References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[2] Check and correct use of italicisation Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Learning features Very good use of learning features 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. Good use of image(s) No use of table(s) Good use of feature box(es) Very good use of case studies or examples Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Also include links to related Wikipedia articles Good use of external links in the "External links" section (not counted for marking purposes) Use sentence casing Use alphabetical order Social contribution ~16 logged, useful, minor to major social contributions with direct links to evidence Use a numbered list per Tutorial 02
