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 it because it was an article based on English and I thought that matched my current English course. It is an important article because it gives someone information about what an English major may look like. My preliminary impression was that the article was just going to talk about English in America, but the article covered how the English major is seen in other parts of the world.

The article's introduction was straight to the point, and it specified English as a degree, not the language. The content is fairly up-to-date, but there are a few sections with no citation to explain where the information came from. There is just one image, and it is just a book.

In the talk section, it appears that the article was originally about just an English major, but it was merged with English Studies. There is also talk that more citations are needed because the ones used are not precise enough. There are no citations in the career opportunities section either. Some work could be done to the page.

The information about English Studies at the high school level in different parts of the country are also limited. It only specifies America, Britain, and Ontario, Canada. There needs to be more information about other parts of the world.
