User:Sok18/Evaluate an Article

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am interested in going into the social work field. Social work as a course of study and profession has only grown in recent years and I was hoping this article would expand anyone's basic knowledge of the subject. After reading the lead section, I was intrigued to learn about the roots of social work and to see how social work in integrated into other fields and professions.

Evaluate the article
Overall, I think this was a decent article. The lead section did a great job at giving the basic overview of social work and the different areas that social workers are in. However, I found that I quickly found some errors or things that could be fixed. The History section has three subsections and they are not equally written. One is much longer than the others and they talk more about the evolution of treatment in the different countries than the beginning and growth of social work itself. There are also some grammatical issues and spelling errors. Some of the links do not go to the pages that would better explain the context they are in. There are sections that I believe should not be there, the literature and media sections. I do not necessarily feel like I learned much while reading. The article, however, does have many sources and gives many references for further study. It is not a bad article and it is a good starting point, but I think it could be improved a bit.
