User:Lagg0515/Evaluate an Article

For this assignment I chose to evaluate the article Schizoaffective Disorder. The lead section gives a good overview of the topic and what the article is about. The first sentence got straight to the point and gave a clear definition of the disorder. The lead touched on all the points of the article except for the history of Schizoaffective Disorder. I found all of the content to be relevant to the disorder but some of the sections were lacking in information. For example, the diagnosis section has a lot of information while the mechanism section does not. This could be due to a lack of available research, but this is an aspect that I hope to expand on for this project. I did find that the article made claims that I would like to further evaluate. Such as when the article claimed that most clinicians misdiagnose psychosis. If I do find this and other claims to be true, I will add additional references to strengthen them. There were also some sections where claims were made but there was a citation needed flag. I felt that the tone of the article was neutral and that I wasn't being lead in one way or another. Upon evaluating the sources, I found that there were several links that no longer work and need to be updated. I also found a few sources that were flagged for being a self-cited source. All in all, the article was easy to understand. though, there were a few places where I believe better sentence structure will make the article more reader friendly. This article had a C rating, and I could understand why. It gives a good overview of the topic but there are definitely areas that can be improved upon.
