Talk:Karl Marx
From Geography
1. Relevance: 8/10. The page by Karl Marx is highly relevant for this course. His work was very much criticized by post-modern thinkers such as Foucault, Weber and Giddens. The basis of this course lies in the critique on the work of Karl Marx, you could say.
2. Well-written: 6/10. The page is well-written: it uses correct english, the spelling is correct and of a professional standard. However, the text also seems to be a little 'dry'. Examples, for instance, would upgrade the article very much. This will make the article about Marx more interesting and it would help in understanding everything that is said on the page.
3. well-researched: 2/10. I wouldn't say that this page is well-researched. There are in-line citations, but some of them are not structured as the APA-rules state. Then, what is even worse, is the fact that there is no list of references at the bottom of the article. This means that the citations in the text are not even verifiable.
4. Broad in its coverage: 8/10. The page addresses the main aspects of the topic. It neatly describes the 'four categories' of Marx's work. So that is good. And also, the page doesn't go into detail more then it should.
5. Neutral: 8/10. The page pretty much stays factually accurate. It represents the view-points and the work of Karl Marx without criticizing his work.
6. Stable: 10/10. The page is very stable. Only two people worked on this page and they even did this together. So it has been made as one whole by two people interacting and communicating. I think this can only contribute positively to the page.
7. Well-structured: 2/10. The text itself doesn't seem to be structured at all. One paragraph is about Marx's definition of Materialism and then about the dialectical reasoning and also a theory about politics. Also, the start of the page should have been more about Marx himself (where he was born, maybe a picture, etc.) and introducing the rest of the page. The fact that headings are missing makes it even worse structured.
8. Illustrated: - There are no images uploaded to this page. So no rating can be given.
9. Length: 6/10. The length of the page is okay, however, i think more can be said about Karl Marx. It does however, as mentioned earlier, focus on the main topic without going in unnecessary detail.
