Evaluate the article
The lead includes a good introductory sentence but it could do a better job at identifying the major sections of the article. It does not include extra information and it is very concise. The content of the article is relevant and up to date, including information regarding COVID-19, although a bit more could be added. There is no extra or irrelevant content and it does not deal with a Wikipedia equity gap. The article is neutral without any claiming that appears biased or over/underrepresented. It does mention that few universities offer an Epidemiology course for undergraduate students. The article does not try to persuade. The article does not appear to enough reliable secondary sources of information. The sources do appear to be thorough and diverse but there could be a few more current sources. The links do work. The article is well written, without errors, and is well-organized. The article has a good and well-captioned imaged that adheres to Wikipedia's copyright regulations and is laid out well. The talk page shows conversations about possible bias in the article (over whether Hippocrates was the father of medicine, MMR vaccine and autism, and Epidemiology being a casual inference). The article is rated as C-class and is a part of the following WikiProjects: Medicine, Nursing, Statistics, and Biology. In class, we have discussed some of the flaws in Epidemiology (i.e: the improper use of the term 'rate' in the lit, etc) but this article does not include such statements. This article's overall status is rated as a level-4 vital record. Overall, this article needs some work to achieve greater accuracy, such as by addressing the concerns over bias and certain statements. It does a good job of including good sources and a neutral point of view. It is well-developed but needs some additions and adjustments.
