Article Evaluation
I choose the article“undergraduate education" to evaluate. I think almost everything in the article is relevant to the article topic. But it has a lot of sections, which classify by countries and regions, distracted me. And about the Hong Kong system, the description contains the information before 10 years, which might be out of date. And because of clarifying by the countries, the information is not very comprehensive. For example, in the Asia part, it ignores Chinese education, which can be added. And the information about the Nigerian system is too short. It needs more details to show the system. It can add more countries' undergraduate education systems. And if some places have the same systems, it needs to be noticed in the article.

And I think the article still has a lot of things to improve. The introduction of undergraduate education needs to be improved. It's too simple and doesn't clearly shows the meaning of the topic. And the article needs more reference to prove and support the content. In the Nigerian system, there is no reference to support. And in the Pakistani system, almost all the contents depend on one reference. All these places need to add more references to support and prove.

Additionally, the article is neutral, and all the claims are almost unbiased. The article fairly introduces every country's undergraduate education system. And there aren't viewpoints having special presented. Only some systems are very long, like the United States and Europe, but some countries' contents are very short. The author might be lack of the information of the system he is not familiar with. Also, all the citations and links work and support the things in the article. But still, have something need to be updated. Almost all the references are reliable and useful. A lot of them are from the Internet Wayback Machine or news websites. After reading these sources and check the websites, the references fairly support the claims in the articles.

'''These are thorough reflections. (DB) 5/5'''

This topic applies to all genders and professions.

In order to find the aims of the topic, I can begin with the history of adult education. Also, I'm interested in the different types of adult education in different countries. According to the findings of types, I can step by step find the effects of adult education.

I'm interested in the current situation, as people put more emphasis on adult education, not only for seeking better living conditions but also improving themselves. It helps people have more abilities to meet their needs by themselves. For example, people who don't go to college can also have the chance to receive a better education. And people have the conditions to learn what they are interested in. It is a kind of perfection and supplement to general education. For the future, adult education will be more popular. It's essential for people to improve their abilities, skills, and quality. People want to have more ways to meet their needs.

And adult education is gradually popular in the world. As education becomes more and more important, a lot of countries find the advantages of adult education.

With the help of other sources, I can have more information about the topic.
