Psycho-oncology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The psycho-oncology wikipedia page broadly covers the content of our course. Getting familiar with and evaluating this specific article will be beneficial as I continue to pursue this project. Additionally, the article has a C rating which is concerning considering the importance of its topic.

Evaluate the article
Lead: The lead for this article is accurate, detailed, and factually correct. The lead could be improved by greater concision.

Content: The content of the article is mostly relevant, some subsections are a bit distracting and could use improvement on grammar (i.e inconsistent capitalization of subtopic titles). The content is not organized in an easily readable manner. Some sentences overuse jargon and phrasing that seems unnecessarily complicated like “With awareness of the prevalence of psychological distress that accompanies a cancer diagnosis and increased efforts to integrate evidence-based psychosocial treatments into overall oncologic care, screening for adjustment to diagnosis and treatment became more widespread.” Sounds like it was paraphrased using individual word replacement, immature writing.

Tone: The article is generally neutral but sometimes sounds like it’s written primarily through a student’s perspective.

The talk page is underwhelming and basically empty. This article needs work organizationally, as well as a greater amount of content.
