Interesting Research Paper

Hi U3239762, please see this interesting research paper titled 'Randomized Trial of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Versus Light Therapy for Seasonal Affective Disorder:Acute Outcomes'(hyperlinked). I think you may find this helpful as I saw you mentioned both the use of CBT and Light Therapy in your topic development. This one compares both which is always a good way to assess psychological treatments. Best of luck - Iva Puskarica Heading casing Hi U3239762. 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 02:00, 10 August 2024 (UTC) Initial suggestions @U3239762: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions: Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Psychopathology Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Weather Also search past book chapters for related topics For the topic development, consider: What psychological theory(ies) can help to understand and explain this topic? What is the main research in this area? Let me know if I can do anything else to support the development of this chapter.

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 The title and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed) User name removed – authorship is as per the list of topics and the page's editing history 2. Headings Excellent – Well developed 2-level heading structure. Meaningful headings clearly relate directly to the core topic. Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections 3. Overview Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, relevant psychological theory/research, and focus questions A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section. Add an image to the scenario to help attract reader interest. Simplify/abbreviate the description of the problem/topic to make it more user-friendly. Move detail into subsequent sections. Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment 4. Key points Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples Many key points lack sufficient citation Conclusion (the most important section): Well developed 5. Figure One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented, captioned, and cited The figure caption(s) should start with a capital letter 6. Learning feature One 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 Excellent use of quiz question(s) Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References Excellent Well done on identifying relevant systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses Check and correct APA referencing style: Capitalisation for the first letter of sub-titles page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) 8. Resources See also Excellent External links Very good Only include links directly related to the sub-title 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 At least three different types of contributions with indirect link(s) to evidence To add direct links to evidence: view the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and paste the comparison URL on your user page.

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 very good chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem. Excellent use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon Clear focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds somewhat on Wikipedia articles; build more strongly on related book chapters Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Very good review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal (e.g., effect sizes from meta-analyses?) Basic 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 Some claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the tags) Integration Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Very good summary and conclusion Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections 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 Check and make correct use of commas Check and correct use of affect vs. effect Abbreviations Once an abbreviation has been established (e.g., PTSD), use it consistently aftwarwards Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) APA style Use serial commas[1]. Video (1 min) Figures Briefly captioned; provide more detail 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 use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References use excellent APA style: Learning features Basic use of learning features Key point boxes were useful Consider following the case study through to resolution (e.g., how did Stacey deal with SAD?) 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. Use interwiki links (rather than external links) to Wikipedia articles, per Tutorial 02 Basic 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. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links, per Tutorial 02 Basic use of image(s) Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Use alphabetical order Social contribution ~1 logged social contributions with direct links to evidence ~3 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:20, 24 October 2024 (UTC) 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 reasonably good presentation Overview An opening slide with the title is displayed. Also display and narrate the sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest (e.g., by introducing a case study or scenario) Establish a context for the presentation (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand 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 makes excellent use of citations to support claims The presentation makes excellent/very good/good/reasonably good/basic/no use of one or more examples The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies The presentation provides practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion The conclusion provides a very good summary of the most relevant psychological theory and research about this topic Audio The audio is easy to follow The presentation makes very good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Reasonably good intonation The narration is reasonably well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was excellent The narrated content is well matched to the target topic Video Overall, visual display quality is reasonably good The presentation makes reasonably good use of text and image based slides Some of the font size could be larger to make it easier to read Consider using larger line spacing 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 reasonably well produced using simple tools The visual content is well matched to the target topic 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.
