Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * What is the article's overall status? This article seems incomplete in that it offers a definition about the internationalization of higher education, but it lacks a complete snapshot as to what internationalization means and looks likes within post secondary institutions. Additionally, the article is flagged as being written as a personal reflection and instead needs to be written in an unbiased manner.
 * What are the article's strengths? The article offers a clear and cited definition about the internationalization of higher education, and it also offers explanations for this process.
 * How can the article be improved? The article is very vague in its explanations and it is also biased to one viewpoint. The discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of the internationalization of higher education need to be expanded from reputable unbiased sources.
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed? This article is both underdeveloped and poorly developed, as its current information is too vague and the overall tone is biased.
