Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/To-do lists

Do you use to do lists in your day to day life?

Do you use to do list in your day to day life, if you do are you able to stick by them or do you end up not completing them? U3162169T (discuss • contribs) 07:27, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Excellent question. Also consider posting about this on the UCLearn discussion forum. I use an electronic calendar as my to-do list. If I don't get something done, it gets moved into a future timeslot. Sincerely, James. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:49, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your response/Input. I will have a look and put it onto that, thanks for the idea. U3162169T (discuss • contribs) 07:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

No worries. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:30, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes I definitely use 'to-do lists'. Crossing items off my list as I complete them is very satisfying! --U3223114 (discuss • contribs) 04:37, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, this topic is absolutely interesting to touch on. Just a small recommendation for you next time to adjust the font in the references list into Italics font for the volume number and journal name. Overall, really impressive with your chapter! Grace (Tram) Chu (discuss • contribs) 12:26, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, It is very impressive how much work you have done. I noticed that you have not done any cons for to-do lists. Maybe try this link to get you started. Sincerely, Giovanni Thanks I will check it out :)

Hi, the layout looks quite comprehensive so far. This is a minor thing which I'm sure you will do later but under references, you can use doi for the links to the pages of the journal article you made. For your link to the journal article for the Hemingway effect, I would use [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsc.2018.01.001] which will give you the same page as the link you currently have placed. I just think it presents itself much better. Good luck with the project. Kind regards, Daniel. 21:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

oh thanks for this tip, I will actually have a look into that as the whole link is a bit bulky while I am just using it as a place holder for my memory, thank you so much for your tip ~~~ U3162169T (discuss • contribs) 12:27, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm so impressed by your chapter already. Also really glad to see you looking at the neurodivergent aspect of to-do lists (e.g., ADHD reliance). You possibly already plan to do this but it might be worth looking into not just the fact that people with ADHD rely on them but if they are actually effective for them without other tools in place such as alarms because of the whole 'out of sight, out of mind' aspect that comes with ADHD. --U3173387 (discuss • contribs) 21:18, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, that's a interesting thought I will have a look and explore that! thanks for the tip! U3162169T (discuss • contribs) 08:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm loving your chapter so far! I was going to suggest the same as above- it would really strengthen your chapter to show how it differs/helps physiologically between neurotypical and neurodivergent people. Maybe using a case study/scenario might help to compare the two. Also, it might be worth inserting a figure or diagram to help explain the physiological aspects of the theory. Really great so far! --Natsta19 (discuss • contribs) 05:08, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi U3162169T. 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 11:12, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

ah okay, thankyou I really appreciate the tip ! thank you honestly so much U3162169T (discuss • contribs) 00:54, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted If you would like to tweak the sub-title, feel free to get in touch Headings Promising 2-level heading structure The structure is overly complicated (e.g., one section has 8 sub-sections), so consider simplifying (e.g., there is no need for a separate quiz heading; just embed the quiz questions in their most relevant sections) Consider tightening the alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings (alignment is pretty good, but can be improved) Usually avoid using people's names in headings Overview Promising development Add a scenario in a feature box (with an image) (could use the quote formatted material) at the start to help catch reader interest Use 3rd person perspective (except 1st/2nd person can work for feature boxes/scenarios) See comment in previous section about refining focus questions Key points Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations History section is OK but I wouldn't indulge much in history (keep it brief - could just be a 1 paragraph part of a broader description of to-do lists; more important is a clear, contemporary description of to-do lists Quotes usually aren't as useful as hoped; consider re-expressing in own words with citation(s) Pros and cons probably make sense before coming to conclusions about whether lists are (always) helpful. If these questions are a bit awkward, we can discuss tweaking the sub-title. How are the poll/survey results being used in this chapter? (the results on your user page could be moved to a sub-page for the book chapters and linked to - e.g., copy and paste that content to Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/To-do lists/Poll or Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/To-do lists/Survey Using to-do lists effectively is probably the most important section (other than the Overview and Conclusion) Promising balance of theory and research Conclusion (the most important section): Well developed Overall, there is probably too much content to cover effectively in a single chapter here, so be selective about what is the most relevant/important to addressing the sub-title questions Figure A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text Learning feature Well used The first case study is overly long; abbreviate A table could a useful way to summarise pros and cons Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters References Move non-academic sources into the External links section Dictionary citations are over-used For APA referencing style, check and correct: alphabetical order capitalisation Remember that the goal is to identify and use the best academic theory and research about this topic Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent User page Excellent – used effectively Excellent description about self provided Link(s) provided to professional profile(s).

Overall Overall, this is an excellent presentation Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed briefly — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation Also narrate the sub-title The opening slide is returned to later - but probably this should be a different slide Very engaging introduction to hook audience interest A context for the presentation is clearly established through an example Focus questions and/or an outline of topics are presented Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation addresses the topic An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little The presentation makes excellent use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research The presentation includes citations to support claims The presentation makes excellent/very good/good/basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice The presentation provides practical, easy to understand information Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with excellent take-home message(s) Audio The audio is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to listen to The presentation makes effective use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. Excellent intonation enhances listener interest and engagement The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was excellent The narrated content is well matched to the target topic (see content) Video Overall, visual display quality is excellent The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images and/or diagrams The presentation is very well produced The visual content is well matched to the target topic (see content) Meta-data The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A written description of the presentation is provided Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources are communicated in a general way. Also provide links to each image and the license details (e.g., in the description). A copyright license for the presentation is provided

Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. The theoretical content is good. The research content is OK. The writing style is below professional standard. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims Over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Solid Engages reader interest by presenting a case study and/or scenario with an image in a feature box Explains the problem or phenomenon Basic focus questions Ideally, provide open-ended, rather than closed-ended focus questions Theory A good range of relevant theories are selected. The description and explanation is mediocre. Some of the theoretical content lacks sufficient relevance to to-do lists and motivation Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Some use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Basic review of relevant research I would like to see more concentration on studies about to-do lists and less coverage of studies that weren't about to-do lists Provide an integrated research review rather than a series of detailed case studies based on individual research studies. Several of the case studies lacked sufficient relevant to to-do lists Insufficient 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 Integration Basic integration between theory and research Conclusion Insufficient as a cohesive summary of the best available psychological theory and research about the topic Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest Key points are summarised Add practical, take-home message(s) in response to the focus questions Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard mainly due to poor grammar. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills. Some sentences could be explained more clearly (e.g., see the and tags) Some sentences are overly long. Strive for the simplest expression. Consider splitting longer sentences into two shorter sentences. 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[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes Grammar The grammar for some/many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats') [2] Proofreading More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard Figures Provide 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) Tables Use APA style for captions. See example Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1) Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: A space is needed after a comma and before the year (e.g, Smith, 2000; instead of Smith,2000) Citations should be contained inside a sentence (i.e., before the period) rather than after References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Check and correct use of italicisation Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Include hyperlinked dois Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section Learning features Excellent/Very good/Good/Reasonably good/Basic/Insufficient use of learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles Excellent 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. Minimal use of image(s) Good use of table(s) Excellent use of feature box(es) Basic use of case studies or examples No use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~7 logged, useful, minor/moderate/major social contributions with direct links to evidence Thanks very much for your extensive contributions ~7 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence (the direct links go to changes by others), so not counted towards marking
