Feedback and Suggestions

edit

Hi Allana, I thoroughly enjoyed your book chapter so far! I really like the case scenario, it really draws the reader in. I like all of your key points, you cover some interesting psychological theories. I found this peer reviewed from 2019 that I think may be helpful toward your book chapter. The article covers the Importance of creating habits and routine.

Good luck Allana! :) Alyssia Myers (discusscontribs) 11:00, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Allana, this page looks amazing so far! I have one suggestion, it could be worth adding a figure/image for Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, there should be an image available that he made :), such as this one !!! Good luck Gabriel Geld (discusscontribs) 08:18, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

 
Hi U3236610 Allana. 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

Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

 
  1. The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Under-developed heading structure – develop further
  3. Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings

Book chapter review and feedback

edit

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

edit
  1. Overall, this is a basic chapter. It makes good use of psychological theory and very basic use of research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. I suspect that some of this chapter is based on unacknowledged use of genAI output; if so, it violates academic integrity principles
  3. Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  4. Move embedded external links to academic articles into the References section, include links as dois, and provide APA style citation to the article in the main body text
  5. Move embedded external links to non-peer-reviewed sources into the External links section
  6. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Solid
  2. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image
  3. Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well
  4. The focus questions are reasonably good
  5. The focus questions could be improved by:
    1. being more specific to the topic (i.e., the sub-title); the focus questions include concepts that haven't yet been introduced
  1. A good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Builds in a basic way on other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
  3. Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  5. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  6. Insufficient use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Insufficient review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area?
  4. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  6. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. considering the strength of relationships
    3. acknowledging limitations
    4. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  7. Claims are well referenced
  8. Some/Many claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Basic integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance
  3. Insufficient integration with chapters
  1. Very good summary and conclusion
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic
    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
    3. Embed direct quotes within sentences and paragraphs, rather than presenting them holus-bolus
  2. Layout
    1. Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional italics, bold, and/or change in font size)
  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
    3. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[2]
  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
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation – more info
  6. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    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 about concepts in your own words
    4. Figures
      1. Briefly captioned; provide more detail to help connect the figure to the text
      2. Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example.
      3. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text. Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., "(see Figure 1)"; do not use bold, italics, check and correct capitalisation).
    5. Tables
      1. Add an APA style caption to each table
      2. Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1)
    6. Citations use basic APA style (7th ed.). To improve:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
    7. References use good/ APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example.
  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. Good use of figure(s)
  5. Good use of table(s)
  6. Reasonably good use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of scenarios, case studies, or examples
  8. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  9. Reasonably good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Add more links
  10. Reasonably good use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use bullet points per Tutorial 02
    2. Use alphabetical order
  1. ~1 logged contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. ~2 logged contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess. See tutorials for guidance about how to get direct links to evidence.
  3. Use a numbered list as shown in Tutorial 2
