Option 1

 * Article title
 * Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is the article that I originally evaluated. As a start level article, it has good factual and unbiased content for what it is. So far, it only has a brief "History" section, an outdated "Rankings" section, and a list of "Notable Faculty". I'd like to add a "Focus Areas" and "Affiliations" section, as well as update the "Rankings" and maybe add some new "Notable Faculty". I would keep the clear and concise language and other relevant cited information, such as information about the founding faculty and the Whitaker Foundation. I'd perhaps also change the layout a bit, choosing a picture of Clark Hall rather than just the logo of Johns Hopkins Medicine, and moving the table of "Directors of the Department of Biomedical Engineering" to be under the text and not wrapped awkwardly within it.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Bioreactors


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article as a whole is quite strong, but it is noted on the Talk page that it is in need of more citations and a new layout. I agree with needing an updated layout, as the Lead has specific information about bioreactors that could be incorporated into the "Design" portion, and the "Types" section could be expanded upon a bit more to add a type of bioreactor that I use in my research. The language throughout the article is professional and unbiased, which is nice and consistent. The "Biochemical Reaction Kinetics" math equations may be useful, but aren't applicable to solely bioreactors, so they aren't really necessary. As a quite scientifically based article, there are a few scientific papers cited, but there could be more.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Translational Tissue and Engineering Center (TTEC)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article doesn't currently exist, but I would be interested in writing one about it. This center located in the Wilmer Smith Eye Surgery Pavillion has become the pre-imminent lab for cell and tissue engineering in the country, and plays a very integral role in the biomedical engineering department at Hopkins. It is the center of all things biomedical engineering related on the medical campus. The only hesitancy I have about writing about TTEC is if I can find enough public sources to gather enough information to write a full Wikipedia article.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Vivien Thomas


 * Article Evaluation
 * Nothing notably wrong sticks out about the article, but upon reading the Talk page, I see that there are some issues with inaccurate information regarding whether the movie Something the Lord Made was a documentary or not, and what Dr. Thomas was doing before Blalock hired him, however those problems seem to have been resolved. What I'd like to change about this article is combine the Background and Personal Life sections into one, and then lengthen it, because there is a large lack of information there that could easily be fixed by citing information from both Dr. Thomas' autobiography and the movie about him. One thing I would have to be cautious about, however, is making sure to not be swayed towards one perspective in my writing and to fact check all my sources, as autobiographies tend to be biased. Overall though, the article is well-written and provides a solid summary of Dr. Thomas' notable medical achievements, it just lacks a little bit in the personal side of things.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Redonda Miller


 * Article Evaluation
 * An article about Redonda Miller doesn't currently exist, but I would be interested in writing one about the current, and first female, president of the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Again, this is another one of those articles that I'd love to write, but would just have to make sure that there are enough published sources out there to write a reliable article. Maybe I can interview her and then put it on YouTube, and then that would count as a source. If she now holds the position that once was held by Howard Atwood Kelly, I believe that she is a person notable enough to be worthy of a Wikipedia article. Sadly, she isn't even mentioned in the "Leadership" part of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Wikipedia page, and the Vice President of the hospital is.
