Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because it pertains to my future career. It holds a lot of significance for me because there are a lot of misconceptions about Dietetics and Dietitians. When I first looked at the page, I was impressed with the amount of information available.

Evaluate the article
Lead section: This section clearly states what the article talks about later on. It is extensive and longer than other articles I have looked at. There are some areas that could be shortened as they include some details that are talked about later on.

Content: Not only does it include the many career paths, but it also shows what the career is like in other countries. It also goes into other jobs that pertain to Dietetics, but not a Dietitian. There are some areas that could use improvement. In the United States, the completion of a Master's degree is required starting in the next year in order to qualify to take the RD exam.

Organization and Writing Quality: I found the article easy to read. It was formatted in a way where it was concise and easy to follow. The major sections were split into the respective subsections when talking about the many specialties within being a Dietitian.

Overall Impression: I was impressed with the amount of information that was available on this topic. When looking for an article, I was expecting there to be little to no information on the Dietitian page. To my surprise, it went into a lot of different specialties within Dietetics, as well as other career paths. It could improve in some areas like education, but the requirements have been changing as the profession evolves.
