== Proposed section: The political economy of Communication ==

As it seems that political economy is only mentioned in the wiki page on [[media studies]] but not [[communication studies]], should it be expected that I write my proposed subsection, "The political economy of communication" (which is more tuned toward mass communication), under media studies and not communication studies, then? Thoughts? [[User:Sta90|Sta90]] ([[User talk:Sta90|talk]]) 05:06, 14 March 2017 (UTC)


I agree that "The political economy of communication," is an important topic to add to this article. I did not see this section added to the article. I will research more on this topic to add this section. [[User:Vasquezmedia|Vasquezmedia]]

== Proposed revision of "Other Names" Section ==

I believe it is important that this wiki makes the distinction between "Communication Studies" and "Communications Studies". Scholars within the field define communication as A systemic process in which people interact with and through symbols to create and interpret meanings. They define Communications as the technology used to facilitate the process of communication. Therefore, "Communications" should be removed from "other names" and a section defining these differences should be created so that the terminology can be properly defined and used. I will include academic sources when creating these sections. [[User:GerlachBP|GerlachBP]] ([[User talk:GerlachBP|talk]]) 15:15, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

==Proposed section: Geographical Educational Programs in Communication Studies==
I found it interesting that only Hong Kong's program was noted here. It would be interesting to be a theme and include other geographical programs as well? Thoughts? [[User:Clarebrady|Clarebrady]] ([[User talk:Clarebrady|talk]]) 22:09, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

== Sections Vague ==

I found each section to be vague and needed more elaboration. There's an abundance of information on Communication studies where each sub-topic could include more information. It would be great to have a section about various theories in communication and to speak of some of the scholars' findings related to this topic. [[User:Paddyiranmanesh|Paddyiranmanesh]] ([[User talk:Paddyiranmanesh|talk]]) 23:02, 20 January 2019 (UTC)


I also think that including information about what professional associations are would be helpful instead of listing out organizations. Maybe consider changing the heading of scopes and topics as it is unclear to me what that headline means for the information in the body section of the article. [[User:Elizabethrudman|Elizabethrudman]] ([[User talk:Elizabethrudman|talk]]) 22:02, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

== Needs More Research ==

Name of Article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_studies from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Academic_disciplines

I have chosen to evaluate this article since I am focusing academically and professionally in communications studies. It will be interesting to see what other users have posted about com studies and fact check what sources are being used.

The lead included, basic information about communication studies in terms of the common types of communication and contextual usage. It doesn't particularly mention major sections of the article. In the lead it talks about basic facts of the study. Then in the actual article, it talks about solely how we study communications in the U.S. vs, how other study it in Canada. It is also unclear why this comparison was used and why just these two countries. The lead is concise but does not support the content below it as much as it should. The content below the lead lacked the detail about the lead.

The content to the article is relevant to some degree, but doesn't get mentioned in the lead. The information is up to date. The country comparison in some cases might not belong initially, but it's an interesting comparison to keep. The content misses unpacking the lead's key points. The overall article could be improved, its extremely short and lacks more details.

The article feels neutral. It might feel one way or another when people read the comparisons of countries, but the remaining pieces are neutral. No claims appear too biased since it generally is lacking depth. Most of it is underrepresented and could be unpacked further. It didn't feel like the author was trying to make any persuasions, but reinforce the general concepts and break down of com studies and where and how it is studied in the U.S. and Canada and in recent publications.

I would argue the statements made are backed up with reliable sources at the bottom. And any quick facts were hyperlinked to define them or generalize them. There could be more facts to explain the history and scope, but since it is such a short article, there are not as many sources cited. Other institutions are cited at the bottom for further research since they conduct work on com studies. The sources are thorough and current, and can be looked up through their DOI's. The links were successful on my end.

There are no images to enhance the understanding of the topic. Respondents say that this article is vague and needs more inclusion of other definitions and countries that study communications. It is not in Wiki-projects. From the way we talked about the wiki in class, this article might be too short to be considered sufficient since this is also lacking more detail and citations, and even pictures or charts.

The overall status of this article is somewhat unfinished. It is published, but it severely lacking more information. The strengths of this article do a great job explaining the surface layer of com studies but the improvements can be made at further unpacking this material. It would have been interesting to see the different types and versions of the study and with supported examples in a bigger amount. It isn't that complete- it feels poorly developed.

== Article Evaluation ==
Communication studies
I have chosen this article to evaluate because it relates to my undergraduate studies.
The lead includes information about communication theorists which is not discussed in the body of the article.
The article is not concise; the definition is too detailed.

The article talks about the history of communication studies, academic disciplines, and professional associations. The article includes a section about the communication studies in the United States and Canada but does not include any citations regarding the information about Canada.
The latest citation is from 2014 so there could be more information on communication studies currently.
I would say the "scope and topics" section is an unclear heading and does not accurately present the information within it.

Article neutral- My only concern is that it is biased towards the U.S. and Canada since it includes information about communication studies there, and no where else in the world. It sends the message that communication studies is more important than anywhere else. The claims regarding Canada do not include any citations.

Organization

I would say the article is not the easiest to read as the information is not concise.
The only section does not make sense is the "scope and topics" section. I don't really understand what the author is trying to present based on that headline.

Article's overall status?
The article needs help with citations and does not represent a worldwide view of the topic.
It includes information about the topic's history and provides examples as to how communication studies applies to professional settings.
The article can explain what professional associations are, include more up-to-date citations, and perhaps include more information about other countries' communication studies.
The article is underdeveloped because it is lacking citations and information that would useful to understand the full scope of communication studies.

The links I chose worked but I feel that since the some of the references are dated, there needs to be some careful evaluation of their validity and relevance — [[User:Sknk4172|Sknk4172]] ([[User talk:Sknk4172|talk]]) 05:15, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

== Article evaluation ==

Because my undergraduate major is communication science and sociology, so I choose this article to evaluate.

I think the introduction is a little typeset and difficult for the reader to understand. And it doesn't seem to be related to the subject. Beyond that, its communications research includes only the United States and Canada, giving the impression that the positions are more in favor of those two countries.

我觉得这篇文章的整体布局有点不清楚，资料也太繁琐，难以阅读。[[User:W13352466|W13352466]] ([[User talk:W13352466|talk]]) 17:45, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

== Article evaluation ==

I choose this article because it is related to my professional knowledge, so I can know more clearly what I mainly study in my major. My overall impression was that the layout was very clear and I could easily see what I wanted to know.

The content in the article is relevant to the topic of the article, and there is no outdated information. The whole article is explained from a neutral point of view. Links in citations are valid, reliable literature supporting the content of the article. Also, I checked the Talk page and found that this article was rated as an entry-level 5 important article. However, some problems have been raised in the evaluation of this article on the Talk Page. Some of the information in this communication study article is vague, lacking in details and some references. The overall status of the article seems to be incomplete, and it needs to be supplemented with more research.[[User:Xchen321|Xchen321]] ([[User talk:Xchen321|talk]]) 18:41, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

= Article evaluation ==

Which article are you evaluating?
Communication studies

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)
The reason why I choose this article is that it generalizes from multiple perspectives of media. The coverage is comprehensive from origins to business
applications. The reason why it is important is that this article can provide a clear understanding for those who want to study the major of media for future
employment and study. At the same time, it shows that the media major has a lot of employment space. My first impression of this article is that it is very comprehensive and rich in content. At the end of the quoting link, many examples are given to give readers a professional feeling of the article.

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.)
This article in general is very important and useful for students majoring in media or those who are interested in it. This kind of comprehensive explanation
can greatly make this article useful to more people. The explanation of origins intrigues the reader. And then from the foundation of the subject and the
application of the United States to let the reader have more interest. The article describes the media major can be a wide range of employment in the
future. In the description of business, the importance of media is illustrated. If there is no good communication, there will be no commercial interaction. So
I think it's a very detailed article. Maybe it has some inappropriate examples or references. But overall this article contains a lot of detail.
