Initial suggestions

@U3213250: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:52, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

Hi U3213250. 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

Peer-reviewed article

Intriguing topic. I have found a relevant peer-reviewed article that may be good to use as a case study. https://www-sciencedirect-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/science/article/pii/S0165032717326319?via%3Dihub --U3189442 - K.Ryan (discusscontribs) 00:05, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply


Topic development feedback

The topic development submission 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 for editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development and refinement (e.g., use more topic-specific heading than "scientific literature")
  3. Remove citations and bold formatting from headings
  4. Consider adopting closer alignment between the focus questions and the top-level headings
  1. Promising (engaging)
  2. Consider adding/expanding example or case study
  3. Focus questions
    1. should unpack the sub-title: "What is the relationship between unemployment and depression?"
    2. remove why do you think question (but this could go elsewhere)
  1. Moderate development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. The proposed content, especially theories, is quite broad - consider narrowing in intially on the problem (what does research say about the link between U and D? What is the direction(s) of the relationship? How strong is the relationship? What does the best available research (e.g., meta-analyses) say about the link between U and D? What other factors (e.g., individual and social differences) contribute to this relationship (e.g., time). And then turn to what helps to make people resilient and how this be enhanced.
  3. Theories - be selective. Probably suggest max of 5. SDT and learned helplessness definitely makes sense.
  4. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  5. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Well developed
  1. A relevant figure is presented
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text
  3. Consider increasing Figure 1 size from to make it easier to view
  1. Promising use of quiz question(s). Suggest making the topic more closely aligned with key principles/take-home messages.
  2. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies
  4. Good
  5. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation
    3. doi formatting
    4. page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Very good
    2. 2nd link should probably be an academic citation
    3. Include source in brackets after link
  1. Used effectively
  2. Brief description about self provided – consider expanding
  3. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter (rename to make it more user-friendly)
  1. At least one contribution has been made and summarised in a numbered list with direct link(s) to evidence
  2. If adding the second or subsequent link to a page, create a direct link like / Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page.
