Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because I think black women in STEM is something that isn't necessarily talked about throughout our society. They tend to play a major role and influence amongst decisions that have been made. Also Claudia Alexander is one of my favorite influencers when it comes to black women in STEM.

Evaluate the article
The lead sentence captures everything that you need when describing Claudia Alexander. They explain the basics about her and what she is known for amongst the STEM community. The lead is not overly detailed at all but directly to the point so we can understand what we are about to get into when we start reading this article.

The content itself is very up to date and current for the reader. Also everything is relevant information for us, they explain her background and education and accomplishments. I would say that some content is missing or could be added, so there is some gaps for the reader and they would have to search for me detailed oriented facts.

The tone is very balanced and neutral. The article does not provide any type of sway or have that opinionated feel when reading the article. They are merely describing her life and accomplishments, and providing just a basic overview of her as an individual.

I would say there isn't a lot of sources but enough to say the information is reliable. They provide quotes with hyper links that you can click to further expand. Many references are present, as well as the links work efficiently as well.

Article is written very well, with slim to none grammatical errors on the page. I did notice a few sentence run-ons but those could've been easily fixed by a comma or period. The flow of the article is great as well, each thing leads up to something else and builds off the previous.

Only image is a picture of her.

The article is rated C-class so low importance. The discussions on the page are just minor edits, like fixing the hyper links and fixing her information.

Overall the article was well written and very direct for the reader. They provide accurate information, as well as detailed information about her life. I think improvement wise they should add a little bit more to the article about her life.
