About Me
I am a student at Everett Community College studying to earn a degree in nursing. Subjects in the sciences, especially biology, anatomy, and physiology interest me. Physiology is a branch of biology that studies the mechanisms and behaviors of living organisms. Previously, I attended university in California and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology. Outside of school, I enjoy physical activities, such as hiking, volleyball, and kickboxing.

My Wikipedia Interests
I will be using this Wikipedia page to complete assignments given to me in my English 101 class. As for long-term, I hope to review and edit information on this platform to provide accurate, unbiased information to others.

Article Evaluation
Kinesiology is the study of human or non-human body movement. It is an exciting field that often does not get enough recognition. Having graduated from a Kinesiology program, as well as having a deep passion of the subject, I would like Wikipedia to have a complete and excellent article on it. I visited the Kinesiology article on Wikipedia and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: its links and citations, the technology in Kinesiology, and other specialized areas.

Links and Citations
Thankfully, there are many links and citations on this page. There are references presented at the bottom of the article. They are also cited within the article, making it easy to navigate. However, many of the links to other Wikipedia articles, especially in the History section, are broken links. This article could be cleaned up a little bit in this area. The broken links can be removed and new, relevant articles could be placed to provide even more information.

Technology in Kinesiology
This section of the article was left pretty empty. Motion capture was the only technology that was mentioned. In this section, other technology could be added to provide a more complete description. For example, there are many methods of measuring a person's body composition. From getting estimates from using skin calipers, to getting precise, detailed results from air displacement plethysmography, each method requires different devices to measure just this one parameter.

Other Specialized Areas
The article does show a great side of Kinesiology in the applied areas. However, there are other specializations for this field of study. One example is epidemiology. Kinesiology does not have to be applied on a personal scale, but could also be applied on a communal, or even societal, scale.

Summary
Overall, I think that the article was "okay". It highlighted many great aspects of the field itself, but failed to show other equally important ones, such as epidemiology. This gave off a very one-sided image of the article as a whole. It also had many broken links that also brought down the quality of the article and had scarce examples on topics that had their own highlighted sub-sections.
