Evaluate the article
The introduction is clear and summarizes the article's important points, such as a reasonable explanation of what Project-based learning (PBL) is, how it is applied, and why it was created. For instance, PBL is intended to enable students to consider and learn at a deeper level through problem-solving. It is also contrasted with traditional education methods, and the descriptions strike the theme very precisely while emphasizing the evolution of PBL and its impact on students.

The structure is transparent. History, concept, examples, roles, outcomes, and criticism make up the primary paragraphs. There are appendices and footnotes at the conclusion of the concept along with distinct headings, images, and diagrams, where applicable. Footnotes are located at the conclusion. This article's content is organized more according to its topics.

The subject matter is well balanced in all aspects. Firstly, it briefly describes the originator of the concept of PBL, John Dewey, which can be said to be an ideal interpretation of Dewey's idea of "Learning by doing". The explanation of the concept of PBL is clearer, in which structure explains the distinction between PBL and traditional teaching, and element explains the characteristics of PBL, all essential aspects are addressed. And some examples are given about the application of PBL, Manor New Technology High School follows this learning system, and other countries also support this system partially, which is convincing with reasons and arguments.

The report is also impartial. The article is written without bias or personal opinion, and is straightforward in describing the role of the PBL system and the corresponding roles of students in it, as well as the results; it also includes the critics of PBL who argue that it undermines the motivation and relationships among team members and its limitations, all of which are described based on evidence and reliable sources. The article also employs neutral language, emphasizes facts, and reads like an encyclopedic article.

Also the citation of sources in the article is reliable. For the PBL structure and components and examples there are plenty of citations and sources at the bottom. Moreover, there are external links and annotations to enhance the authenticity of the sources, which makes this a high-quality article.
