Which article are you evaluating?
I will be evaluating the Stress Biology article.

Stress (biology)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose to evaluate Stress Biology because it something I can connect with and understand the material I am researching by reading our books. This matters because I feel like I can put so much more input into the project because of the fact that I can understand it without reading it a couple times. My first impression of it was that there was so much I didn't know about stress biology and that there were many aspects regarding to how someone might be feeling.

The lead allowed the me to understand what the producers were going to discuss in the first sentence of the paragraph. They continue on to explain major topics being discussed in the article that allow us to get an even better idea of is being talked about. The lead was concise which allowed the producers to talk about more in their paragraphs than talking about it in the introduction. All the content was relevant to stress biology but some topics had a lot of information compared to others that had little to no information. This allowed for missed information that was needed in the article, for example in stress relief. The article appeared to be neutral with a lot of information being very detailed. this allowed for A LOT of sources to be made. Most of the sources are current and work which allows the readers to read more into it if it pleases them. The writing really reflected on how they choose to organized the article, it was clear and concise but they could've used less complex sentences to make it easier to follow along. As well as for such a long article they chose to write a lot and include 3 or 4 pictures throughout the text. The amount of photos provided didn't allow me to understand the topic any better than I did. My overall impression of this article that it was really easy to follow along with allowing for my knowledge in stress biology to grow. They could definitely assess the complexity of their sentences a bit more.
