edit

This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.

  • Name of article: Industrial arts (Industrial arts)
  • Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. My minor major is graphic design when I am a freshman and I drew the industrial design, so I choose this topic because I am interested in Industrial Arts.

Lead

edit
Guiding questions

The lead clearly describes the article's topic and includes a brief of the article's significant sections. There is a point related to "Victoria (VIC, Australia)" which is a high school industry art study; this does not make sense with the contents. The overview of lead talked too much about the industrial arts program in the university, not focus on introducing industrial arts.

  • Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
  • Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
  • Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
  • Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?
