Heading casing

Hi AbbeyByles. 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 21:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page. Please also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted 2. Headings See earlier comment about Heading casing Under-developed. Headings are too broad/general. They lack specificity to the topic. Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings 3. Overview 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 Write for an international audience, although an Australian natural disaster can be used as an example Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended Focus questions should be more focused on the topic (i.e., the sub-title) and less on background/definitional matters (just summarise and provide relevant links to other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles) 4. Key points Partial development of key points for some sections, with some relevant citations Most of the planned content is not sufficient targetted to the topic (e.g., history of bushfires in Australia - this is a separate topic. The focus should be on synthesising the best psychological science about natural disaster preparedness.) For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings Avoid providing too much background information. Aim to briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) – more info Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan Conclusion (the most important section): Hasn't been developed 5. Figure One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented and captioned The figure caption(s) 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 using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) 6. Learning feature 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 Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Focus the quiz question(s) on the take-home messages for each focus question Promising use of one or more table(s), but the content must be more relevant to the topic 7. References Insufficient Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Move non-academic / non-peer reviewed sources to External links Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation italicisation include hyperlinked dois 8. Resources See also One of two link types provided Also link to related book chapters DSM link isn't relevant to topic External links Needs a separate section Only include links directly related to the sub-title Target an international audience; Australians only represent 0.33% of the world population 9. User page Good Description about self provided 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. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution None summarised on user page with direct link(s) to evidence (see Tutorial 03). Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see social contributions.

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 an insufficient chapter Earlier feedback appears to have been ignored I suspect that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations (e.g., see the tags) Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand This chapter "beats around the bush" before directly tackling the target topic For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Insufficient Overview Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box; also include a relevant image Provide a description of the problem or phenomenon that is more relevant to an international audience The focus questions are insufficient The focus questions could be improved by being: more specific to the topic (i.e., the sub-title) Theory Insufficient use of relevant psychological theory about this topic Reduce general background (e.g., types of NDs). 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). Builds somewhat on other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles Insufficient depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Insufficient review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) 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 considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Many claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the tags) Integration Insufficient integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance Conclusion Basic summary and conclusion Readings like unacknowledged genAI content Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills The target audience is international, not domestic. Only 0.3% of the world human population lives in Australia. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. Bullet points are overused. Develop more of the bullet point statements into full sentences and paragraphs. Layout The structure is overly complicated; aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Introduction and Conclusion Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional italics, bold, and/or change in font size) See earlier comments about heading casing Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Consider using a grammar checking tool Another option is to use a services provided by UC, such as Studiosity Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance Abbreviations Only use abbreviations such as e.g., i.e., et al., etc. inside parentheses, otherwise spell them out Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used ... as slang, or as an invented or coined expression" (APA Style 7th ed., 2020, p. 159) Figures Briefly captioned; provide more detail to help connect the figure to the text Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)") References use basic APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Check and correct use of italicisation Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Move non-peer reviewed links into the External links section Learning features Basic use of learning features Reasonably good/Basic/One 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. 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 figure(s) Basic use of table(s) Basic use of feature box(es) Basic use of scenarios, case studies, or examples Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Insufficient use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Also include links to related book chapters Use sentence casing Use alphabetical order Move external links into the External links section Add more links Very good use of external links in the "External links" section Use alphabetical order Social contribution No logged contributions

Multimedia presentation feedback

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 Overall, this is a basic presentation The presentation is over the maximum time limit — content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking and feedback purposes Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed but not narrated The presentation has a basic introduction to engage audience interest A context for the presentation is established Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. Content 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 presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research The presentation makes limited use of citations to support claims The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples The presentation provides practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion The conclusion provides a basic summary of the most relevant psychological theory and research about this topic The conclusion provides basic take-home message(s) The Conclusion only partly fitted within the time limit Audio The audio is easy to follow The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio Audio communication is reasonably well paced Basic intonation The narration is reasonably well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was very good The narrated content is reasonably well matched to the target topic Video Overall, visual display quality is reasonably good The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read Some of the font size could be larger to make it easier to read The amount of text presented per slide could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time The visual communication is supplemented in a reasonably good way by relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is welly produced using simple tools Meta-data The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand. Some of the references were not cited in the presentation An inactive hyperlink to the book chapter is provided (maybe because the YouTube user account does not yet have access to advanced features) A link from the book chapter is provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are not clearly indicated A copyright license for the presentation is clearly indicated
