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 22:29, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted User page Created – minimal, but sufficient Brief description about self provided – consider expanding 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. Add link to book chapter Social contribution None summarised with direct link(s) to evidence – looking ahead to the book chapter submission see how to earn marks for social contribution Headings See earlier comment about Heading casing Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure More detailed headings could be helpful (e.g., grit only appears in one heading?) Maybe "controversy" could be "critical views" or "critical debate"? Key points Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations In explaining grit, consider mentioning other related constructs, with embedded links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., psychological resilience, resourcefulness, mental toughness etc.). Perhaps consider how grit is similar to and differs from such constructs. Also include embedded links to grit-related chapters so these chapters are integrated with one another. Note that the two theoretical elements of grit are passion and perseverance, so explain each of those. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings Overview - Consider adding: an image Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Consider including more examples/case studies Conclusion (the most important section): Well developed Figure A figure is presented Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text Consider decreasing image size References Very good For APA referencing style, check and correct: italicisation page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Resources See also Excellent External links Not developed

APA Referencing Suggestion

Hi there,

The referencing template used does not allow for the title of the journal and the volume to be italicized as is required by APA referencing.

(For example). Title of journal: Motivation and emotion, volume 40.

Baumeister, R. F. (2016). Toward a general theory of motivation: Problems, challenges, opportunities, and the big picture. Motivation and emotion, 40(1), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11031-015-9521-y

Italicized text: Motivation and emotion, 40

You need to add two apostrophe's (not the quotation marks!) before and after the text to italicize within this template. U3162201 (discuss • contribs) 02:54, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi,

You have the beginnings of a promising chapter. One suggestion would be to relook at your headings and make sure they are in the correct format (e.g. 'What is Grit?' should become 'What is grit?'). Another suggestion would be to italicize your image labels (e.g. 'Figure 1.') and add an image description. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The wording and/or capitalisation of the sub-title is incorrect. Be consistent with the book table of contents. Headings Promising 2-level heading structure Remove "Test yourself!" and "Quiz" headings; instead just embed quiz question(s) within the most relevant sections Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Overview Select either "Think of times ..." or the case study for the Overview - and move the other into a subsequent section Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended Key points Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations What is grit? Keep this brief and provide an embedded wiki link to the dedicated chapter about grit 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): Well 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 cited Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Learning feature Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Excellent use of example(s)/case study(ies) Consider including quiz question(s), table(s) etc. References Excellent Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Resources See also Excellent External links Very good Include source in brackets after link Only include links directly related to the sub-title User page Excellent – used effectively Excellent description about self provided Link(s) provided to professional profile(s) Link provided to book chapter Social contribution None summarised on user page with direct link(s) to evidence – this was covered in Tutorial 03.
