= Article evaluation: English Stuides =


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? "A major in English opens a variety of career opportunities for college graduates entering the job market. Since students who graduate with an English degree are trained to ask probing questions about large bodies of texts and then to formulate, analyze, and answer those questions in coherent, persuasive prose—skills vital to any number of careers—English majors have much to choose from after graduation. " Personally, when reading this, I don't fully understand the need for the section "English majors have much to choose from after graduation". First, it is an opinion. Second, it pointless to the subject.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? It is a pretty neutral web page. I don't see any phrase that illuminate an insane amount of biased opinion or framework.
 * Are there viewpoints that are over-represented, or underrepresented? Yes, when I was reading the web page, I noticed how the English major section is very underrepresented with information. There is about 4-7 sentences compare to the history section which is over 20 sentences.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Since 2000, there have been more and more questions about the specific function of English departments at the contemporary U.S. college and university.[by whom?] Citation doesn't travel anywhere, I am assuming its either any opinion or an just a missing site. Also, it would have been helpful to understand more statics behind the questions people have behind the function. It seems a little bias and almost devaluing the education field.
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? The absence of a clearly defined disciplinary identity and the increasingly utilitarian goals in U.S. society present a challenge to those academic units still mostly focusing on the printed book and the traditional division in historical periods and national literatures, and neglecting allegedly non-theoretical areas such as professional writing, composition, and multimodal communication. This is a site from a blog which is not a appropriate, reliable source of informational research. Also, this site is missing the date of when it was published.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? The English major rose into prominence in American colleges shortly after the introduction of theelectives system[when?]. This phrase is out of date.
 * Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? Unfortunately. there is a ton of negative conversation towards this article. Many of people state how it needs revising and that overall it is a very week article. When reading it there was very poor transitions among sentences and even sections.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? I am unable to find the article's rating but from the conversations I witnessed not the best article. It does lack a ton of information. On the other hand, this article is invested in the WikiProject of Literature.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? The way this topic was discussed in the article was more focusing on the history of English and the style of English. When approaching it, I had the idea that the article would point out more of the learning qualification one needs to study English.
