General feedback for the dream topic essays
[edit | edit source]Good points
[edit | edit source]- Most essays mentioned Freud/Jung and the neurobiological theory and another, so generally a good coverage of theories in most essays.
- Nearly all included abstracts and interesting titles (some very funny and unique)
- Vast improvement in essay structure from psych 101 essays
- Introductions were done fairly well across the essays
- Overall they were generally done really well.
Need improvement
[edit | edit source]- Research could have been done more extensively, most essays focused on theory and only touched on research.
- APA was still an issue for a lot of the essays, both style and referencing. This was perplexing as you have provided a template!
- Students need to remember the essays do not use personal pronouns.
- Also a huge amount used upwards of 8 quotes which I think is too many, the most i counted was 16 in one essay which i doubt made the word count.
- Some students included tables and pictures and following the criteria more stringently is important.
- Conclusions on average needed to be stronger and more than a few sentences. Some student did not state their position from the argument they presented.
