Option 1

 * Article title Internationalization of higher education
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article offers a basic definition of the internationalization of higher education, but it is written in a biased tone where this process is described in a negative light. The benefits/experience of internationalization needs to be more thoroughly discussed to provide a greater picture about why internationalization is a new trend and what it looks like on campuses. The current article contributors have also used outdated articles and articles written by the same author. Newer and more diverse sources need to be used to update the article in an unbiased manner. Additionally, no context about the internationalization process is provided. The author has only provided general information about the trend and has not provided context, such as by showcasing internationalization information from a specific area in the world.

Option 2

 * Article title International student
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is evaluated as a Stub-Class article, as it only provides a very general overview about what an international student is, and minimal information about the international student experience is included. The information about international students from specific countrys is very imbalanced, as there is a large amount of information about students from/going to China, but less information about other study destinations, such as Canada. A majority of the information regarding the economic impact of international students and the application/visa process are centred around the United States. Again, this reinforces the critique of the information not being diverse enough. The article does have several links to other Wikipedia articles. From reviewing the citations, there are current and diverse sources, but some of the references are from news websites and not peer reviewed articles. Other information about international students which seems under-researched is the section about the experiences/struggles of international students. The article lists a few, but there are several current research articles which outline the challenges and achievements international students experience during their study abroad period.

Option 3

 * Article title Student affairs
 * Article Evaluation This article is rated as a C-Class, as there are gaps in the information posted (such as the history of student affairs) and better citations are needed. One area where citations need to be improved are under the Criticism section, as an opinion about student affairs is written, but there is no source to back-up the statement. A majority of the citations are also over a decade old, so more updated sources should be referenced in future article editions. Additionally, the Canadian viewpoint about student affairs should be added to the page, as only three countries are currently discussed. The article does list multiple functional areas within student affairs, but unfortunately, the descriptions of the areas are very minimal. This is one area where student affairs professionals can improve, by providing a greater description about the structure and tasks of their functional area.
