Heading casing

edit
 
Hi Zahra Karim. 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

Topic development feedback

edit

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. The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Headings are too broad. Focus on the topic: SDT and EA.
  3. Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  4. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings
  5. Use default heading formatting (i.e., avoid bold, italics, underline, changing the size etc.)
  1. A promising scenario or case study is presented in a feature box with an image at the start of this section
  2. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided
  3. Present focus questions in a feature box at the end of this section
  1. Promising development of key points for each section
  2. Excellent use of citations
  3. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples
  4. For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  5. 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.
  6. Does this plan include genAI content? If so, it needs to be acknowledged as such in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity.

  1. One or more relevant figure(s) presented and captioned
  2. The figure caption(s) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text

  3. Promising use of quiz question(s)
  4. Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information
  1. Very good
  2. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  3. Only include sources that you have consulted
  4. Check and correct APA referencing style:
    1. only hyperlink dois
    2. alphabetical order
    3. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a good chapter. It makes good use of psychological theory and 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. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  4. In some places, better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  6. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Reasonably good
  2. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image
  3. Clearly explains the psychological problem or phenomenon
  4. Add focus questions in a feature box
  1. A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. This chapter does not build on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding interwiki links for key terms)
  3. Very good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  5. In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  6. Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Basic review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area?
  4. In some places, there is 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. Some 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
  1. Very good summary and conclusion
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences.
    3. Bullet points are overused. Develop more of the bullet point statements into full sentences and paragraphs.
  2. Layout
    1. The structure is overly complicated; aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Introduction and Conclusion
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
    3. Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional italics, bold, and/or change in font size)
    4. See earlier comments about heading casing
    5. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the ub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
  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
  4. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. 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. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)")
    3. Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.)
    4. References use very good APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Basic learning features
  2. Use interwiki links (rather than external links) to Wikipedia articles, per Tutorial 02
  3. 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.
  4. Good use of figure(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Excellent use of scenarios, case studies, or examples
  8. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Add more links
  10. Not counted for marking purposes due to being over the maximum word count
  11. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use sentence casing
    2. Use alphabetical order
  1. ~3 logged mostly minor contributions with direct links to evidence
