Overall Comments
Hi Ashley, great start to this assessment. This is a complex assessment as it as many parts. There were a couple of parts to the instructions that are missing. Once you incorporate into your work, you will be able to meet all of the criteria. Everything you have is good! You will need to add to it.
Here are the missing parts from the instructions. You will need to identify something specific that you want to learn (in this case it will be ok to use first person for that part), you will also need to refer back to the case that you chose for assessments 1 and 2.
Start by identifying a skill or concept that you always wanted to learn.
- Which learning theory or theories best support how you would learn this topic?
Compare this with the case study you chose for assessments 1 and 2.
- Which components should be tailored to the specific learner?
- Which components of your learning situation could be applied to a broader population?
- Evaluate the effectiveness of your learning situation for the case study.
I look forward to reading you updated assessment. Warmly, Dr. Sullivan

Criterion
Apply learning theory terminology and concepts to describe a learning situation.
Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and applications of learning sub-processes.
Comments:
This was hard to grade because you did a great job of discussing the theories, motivation, and learning in general. However, a specific personal learning task was not identified.
Criterion
Justify which learning theory best supports a personal learning situation.
Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and applications of the foundational learning theories.
Comments:
Same for this criterion.
Criterion
Evaluate the role of motivation in a learning situation.
Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and applications of learning sub-processes.
Comments:
Even though you didn’t discuss a specific personal learning situation, for this one you did a really good job of integrating theory, motivation and personal learning. Once you add your learning task, you can address how to maintain motivation for it too.
Criterion
Evaluate how effective this learning situation would be with the previous case study and broader population.
Apply evidence based research in learning theories to guide decision making and problem solving.
Comments:
I didn’t see any reference to one of the case studies. You will need to compare your learning situation with the case in context of the learning theories you addressed.
Criterion
Differentiate between the components of the learning situation that are specific to the individual and those that are more broadly applicable.
Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and applications of the foundational learning theories.
Comments:
Even though you didn’t discuss a specific personal learning situation, for this one you did a really good job of integrating theory, motivation and personal learning and learning for a broader population.
Criterion
Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics; format paper, citations, and references using APA style.
Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the psychological professions.
Comments:
Overall good writing and APA. Your references page was a little off on this one. Watch for subject-verb agreement and missing words here and there. You might try reading your work slowly out loud. Or read it backwards – with the last sentence. It is sometime easier to hear where things are missing this way.
