Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2]
Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences.
Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[3] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
Layout
Basic, 2-level heading structure
Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
Remove full-stops and colons from the end of headings
ap
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
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)
Replace double spaces with single spaces
Figures
Figures are captioned
Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text
Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). Citation formatting is poor. For example:
Full-stops should occur after a citation in parentheses at the end of a sentence
Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
"Lyengar and Lepper, 2000" should be "Lyengar and Lepper (2000)"
If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
Do not include author first name or initials
References are not in full APA style. For example:
No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
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.
Basic use of image(s)
No use of table(s)
Good use of feature box(es)
Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
The quiz questions could be improved by being more focused on the key points and/or take-home messages
The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end
Very good use of case studies or examples
Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
Also include links to related Wikipedia articles
Include sources in parentheses
Very good use of external links in the "External links" 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.
Overall, this is an insufficient presentation mainly because it doesn't explain the relationship between overchoice, motivation, and emotion and it is over the maximum time frame.
The presentation is over the maximum time limit — content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking and feedback purposes
This presentation could be improved by displaying and narrating a slide with the same title and sub-title as the book chapter to help the viewer understand the purpose of the presentation
Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest
Establish a context for the presentation (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand
Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation.
Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section
The presentation somewhat addresses the topic
There is too much content, in too much detail, presented within the allocated time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to cover a small amount of well-targetted content than a large amount of poorly selected content.
The selection of content is poor because it doesn't adequately use the most relevant psychological theory and/or research to address the topic
The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory
The presentation describes overchoice, but does not explain the relation between motivation, emotion, and overchoice
This presentation could be improved by providing visual diagrams to represent the theoretical ideas
The presentation makes insufficient use of relevant psychological research
The presentation makes basic use of citations to support claims
Use APA style for citations
The presentation provides one overly detailed example
The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies
The narration is reasonably well practiced and/or performed
Audio recording quality was reasonably good
Recording volume was quiet
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 lacked synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic
The video title does not match the chapter title and sub-title — this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation and be more consistent
A very brief, poorly written description of the presentation is provided. Improve. Expand.
Links to and from the book chapter are provided
An inactive hyperlink to the book chapter is provided because the YouTube user account does not yet have access to advanced features
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.
