Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Neurohormones and emotion

Suggestions

edit

Hey Alex,

From our chat earlier today in the tutorial I suggest that you organise your chapter by grouping the neurohormones by emotion (maybe a couple of the core ones). By putting them into groups it will allow you to go into more depth about what they do and how they relate to emotions than how you have currently got it set out. If you make these changes please be aware that you will need to change your focus questions too as what you will discuss/ answer will be slightly different from what you are at the moment. happy to help more if you need.

Heading casing

edit
 
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

Overall

edit
  1. 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.
  2. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  3. Better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  4. Over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes.
  5. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid
  2. Overly long
  3. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image
  4. Two scenarios are presented; simplify to one or move one into a subsequent section
  5. Explains the problem or phenomenon
  6. Basic focus questions
  7. The first question is too broad; focus on unpacking the target topic
  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. A clearer definition of a neurohormone would be useful
  3. Reduce general theoretical background (e.g., the ~1000 words about emotion). Instead, summarise and link to related resources (i.e., other book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles). Increase emphasis on substantive aspects of theory that relate directly to the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).
  4. Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles
  5. Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  6. Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  7. Key citations are well used
  8. Very good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Very good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags) in some places
  4. Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  5. Some claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Excellent integration between theory and research
  1. Excellent summary and conclusion
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good
    2. 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
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some/many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
      1. Consider using a grammar checking tool
      2. Another option is to use a services provided by UC, such as Studiosity
      3. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance
    2. Check and make correct use of commas
  4. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  5. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
  6. APA style
    1. Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min)
    2. Express numbers < 10 using words (e.g., two) and >= 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 99)
    3. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, communicate concepts in your own words
    4. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used ... as slang, or as an invented or coined expression" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159)
    5. Figures
      1. Very well captioned
      2. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text
      3. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use bold, italics, check and correct capitalisation)
    6. Tables
      1. Table captions use APA style or wiki style
      2. Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text
    7. Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.)
    8. References use reasonably good APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Very good use of learning features
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles
  3. One 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.
  4. Excellent use of image(s)
  5. Very good use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Reasonably good use of case studies or examples
  8. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  9. The quiz questions could be improved by being more focused on the key points and/or take-home messages
  10. Reasonably good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Rename links per Tutorial 02
    2. Use alphabetical order
  11. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use sentence casing
    2. Use alphabetical order
  1. ~4 logged, useful, mostly minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence
