Option 1

 * Hibernation
 * Article Evaluation
 * I chose this article because hibernation is a really interesting metabolic response that animals do when faced with unfavorable conditions or little resources. Hibernation is crucial for the survival of many species in harsher climates, and as the threat of climate change continues, species that hibernate are great indicator species when observing the effects of climate change.
 * This article is rated as a C-class on the projects scale quality. It starts with a strong intro section which is clear and concise in explaining the basics of hibernation, but failed to incorporate a brief overview of all sections that are in the article. As I read the article, I found it to be messy and unorganized with too many examples of hibernators scattered throughout.
 * The content itself is good and relevant to the topic, but there is need for restructuring throughout the article (i.e., better headings, general organization). Also, the article is fairly short which is surprising because many animals depend on hibernating for survival, and with the consequences of climate change occurring I thought this article would have information on how hibernators are effected by it. However, I found there wasn't any information on how hibernation occurs on a cellular and molecular level, or the effects of climate change and anthropogenic pressures on hibernators. The article is written from a neutral perspective, there are no biased opinions that seek to persuade the reader.
 * There are plenty of current sources, but there could be more which will make the article stronger. The article needs restructuring in the introduction, there needs to be less examples which will make the intro section more clear.
 * The article is easy to understand, but as I have said before there is need for reorganizing throughout the article, there are plenty of hibernator examples but it can be distracting. There needs to be some imagery that illustrates the different types of hibernation, and as well as imagery of the data findings from the research articles which the some of examples indicate. The article could use more citations, which would make the article stronger.
 * Overall, there is need for reorganization, with the addition of content regarding the affects of climate change and anthropogenic pressures on hibernation. As well some content on how hibernation occurs on a cellular and molecular level.
