The C-class article I looked at was about Apple watches. After evaluating the article there is not a lot that needs to be changed or added but the article itself could use some improvements here and there.

- The article was very informative and gave great information about Apple Watches and the different types you can get.

- Although it is informative, it doesn't give much information on the history and where the idea came from. By adding background on Apple products, it would give the reader an idea about how Apple came up with the watch idea and the technology created to make it the most high tech watch to date.

- By giving pros and cons of the watch, it would give readers who are trying to learn more about it a sense of understanding and reliability.

- Lastly, under the "development" section, it would be a good idea to include all the different things the watch is capable of and how closely it is related to iPhones such as the types of apps on the Apple Watch.

Draft:

The NCAA Division I page needs to have a distinct understanding of what separates a Division 1 school from a Division II or III. In order to do that, change the first subtitle to "Differences between Division I, II and III", and give a deeper background of the differences. It has the basics but needs to go in depth and include all of the things that make the divisions different. Below is something I would add to the existing paragraph.

For Division I football, FBS (Football subdivision) teams must meet a minimum attendance requirement at 15,000 people in actual or paid attendance. Typically, Division I schools are some of the biggest Universities in the nation. They tend to have a large enrollment of students and have multiple different varsity sports students participate in and earn scholarships for. As for scholarships, Division I and Division II schools are similar. Each division has a certain number of scholarships they can give out to each sport. NCAA Division I and Division II schools provide more than $2.9 billion in athletic scholarships annually to more than 150,000 student-athletes. As for Division III schools, they do not give out scholarships and typically it is seen as more of a fun concept compared to a competitive concept.

These facts were found on a few different websites which are below:

Sexual Assault Cases In Collegiate Athletics:

An unfortunate discussion on the topic of NCAA Division 1 athletics is the sexual assault cases that happen every year on college campuses whether they are big or small. In an article that Lisa Wade posted on http://theconversation.com/rape-on-campus-athletes-status-and-the-sexual-assault-crisis-72255, she stated that "On average, athletes are more likely than other students on campus to identify with hypermasculinity and to accept "rape myths”  to justify sexual assaults. Evidence also suggests they’re more likely to be confused about consent and admit to having committed acts of sexual aggression." In another article titled "Sexual Violence In College Sports", it was said that "A recent study demonstrated that of the 46% of participants who engaged in sexually coercive behaviors on campus, more than half were intercollegiate and recreational athletes." (https://www.northeastern.edu/sportinsociety/sexual-violence-in-college-sports/).

This is a recurring problem that the NCAA is specifically trying to tackle with hopes of bringing an end to sexual assault cases by college athletes. Every year NCAA Division 1 teams are required to have a talk on the topic at the beginning of every school year. Not only can sexual assault cases ruin the athletes ability to continue playing their sport, but it also effects the University they represent and it's reputation.
