English studies

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because there were many years that I wanted to major in English. My first impression is that this article helps others see the different courses and avenues to study in English, and explains the major in great detail.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article helped me understand very quickly what this article sought to accomplish. The purpose was clear. It gave me a great overview as to what content would be forthcoming, and it was brief.

While the content was great, it could have been improved in the timeliness. Some of the sources were created years ago. This would be more credible if the information was not too outdated.

The tone was very neutral, however, much more emphasis was placed on the aspects of studying English at a collegiate level, rather than at a high school level.

While many sources are present, there is not very much emphasis on marginalized view points. It is important that varying viewpoints are added. Additionally, while the facts are backed by credible websites, they could be more current.

The article is very well organized and written. It would be ironic if not, since it reflects the study of grammar.

There is only one image attached to this article. It does not describe the learner's experience as a student of English, or give insight and enlightenment to the topic. Better images could be chosen and applied.

This article is rated as important, because it gives insight to obtaining Education. The talk page has thorough discussion of how it can and should improve.

The status is overall complete, however, citations for the second half of the article are lacking.
