I chose this article because the AP African American Studies course has been in the news lately. Also, this class is about learning about black history through food and the AP course teaches a comprehensive overview of black history. This is important because African- Americans have been integral to the development of the US and it is important to have a course offering for students who are interested in learning more. My preliminary impression of the article was that it presented the information about the course in an organized and concise manner.

Evaluate the article (Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.) The lead section defines the AP African American Studies course and gives brief logistical information about when and the course will be offered. The lead does not include a brief description of the article's major sections, but there are bolded headings for each section. The content of the article is relevant to the topic and up-to-date because it discusses the ongoing controversy of the AP course in Florida. The article presents the controversy with an unbiased perspective by stating the facts of the controversy and the convictions of all members involved.Also, the article has a timeline of the courses' creation and a chart of the units of history covered by the course. These are good ways to convey content without using dense paragraphs. The article addresses a topic related to historically underrepresented populations because it is providing information about AP African American Studies, which is an underrepresented topic in classrooms. The sources and references of the articles are mostly news articles from sources like CNN, The Wall Street Journal, the College Board, and others. The sources seem current and the links work. The article is clear and concise and I did not notice any grammatical errors. There a well-captioned image that adds information to the content without being too distracting. The article is rated as Start-Class on the WikiProject Education quality scale and low importance on the importance scale. Overall, this article is a good summary of the history of the founding of the AP African American Studies course, the purpose of the course, and the present integration and controversies about the course. My question about the article is if the perspective of students who have taken the initial pilot course could be included to provide insight about how student's felt about the course material?
