Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article presented to me because it addresses academic disciplines at the college and university level. This article will help students with research papers since it covers a wide range of academic fields. I also wanted to assess it because the article seemed to be lacking in content, indicating that it was not a good Wikipedia entry.

As I was evaluating this report, some aspects stood out to me, such as the lack of a brief overview of the article's main sections in the lead. The lead is very brief and not at all detail-oriented. The content of the article is important to the subject at hand. The article does not include any historical background on the topic. There is no bias in this report. The portion of the article dealing with sources and references is missing, and clicking on the links provides no additional details. This article's organization and writing quality are poor, and it provides little detail or context on the topic. It rather talks about the topic in a poor way before adding any of the academic subfields without providing any detail on them. When I looked around this article, I discovered that I didn't find any detail about it. This article does not contain any photographs. The debate on the talk page for this article appears to revolve around the fact that the referencing is incorrect and that the article does not include any information that is relevant to the subject. My overall impression of this article is that it has more flaws than strengths, and it needs more work to earn the distinction of being a good Wikipedia article. More information on the topic could be added, more outside resources obtained, all links tested, background information on the topic provided, and proper citations made. This article is very underdeveloped.
