Overall evaluation

[edit]

I thought this article was off to an amazing start! I did not know much about Andrew Foster, and I thought this taught me a lot. The few comments I have are as follows: first, I wonder if titling it 'Andrew Foster (educator)' should also include 'missionary' in it somewhere, as much of this article focused on the faith-based aspect of his educational career. Second, I think when you say the title of his master's degree (in this case, Education), the title should be capitalized -- i.e. '...earned his master's degree, also in Education.' Finally, I wonder if it might be more logical to put his early background information earlier on in the article. I think the opening line of this is perfect, but it makes sense to me to follow this up with his early childhood information, and then move on into his career later. Right now, these are flipped, but I wonder if a chronological order might make better sense, considering this is a biographical account of his life. Just my thoughts! I really enjoyed reading this piece.
