Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen to evaluate this article because I have a growing interest in Forensic Facial Reconstruction and Forensic Anthropology. This being said, being a Forensic Science student, I feel that it is important to have a general understanding of the different fields of study that are also being taught during the scholar year. Forensic Science is a growing field with high expectations in law enforcement, therefore it is important to have the proper information published and being followed. Although this page might only contain some general insight into this field, it is a great way to learn about the aspects of Forensic Facial Reconstruction.

Although the article is fairly short, the organization and writing quality describe the overall topic very well. The sections provided clear understanding of what was being discussed in the section of the article. The sources and references seem to be properly cited and reliable.
