Summary: Role-playing is a method that is becoming increasingly popular in the study for becoming a Doctor of Pharmacy. The author explains why role-play is such an important aspect of the school of pharmacy and what studies support it. The author then goes on to explain examples of where role-play is used effectively, and what the courses entail. Major Points The author did a great job of explaining everything in appropriate detail. The intended audience can be both experts and non-experts in the field. However, there are a couple concerns about the current set up of the article. The first question I have, which Im sure will be answered once transferred over to Wikipedia, is where is this article going? Is it a new article or is it a section of an existing article? The context memo should include this. Another concern is that the introduction is not doing exactly what Wikipedia says an introduction should do. While it does introduce the material, the introduction is also meant to be a summary of the article itself, and so should summarize the other two sections as well. Also, the author focuses on Northeastern Universitys curriculum. This makes sense, as we all attend Northeastern University and therefore know the most about it, but the editors of Wikipedia may believe this to be a biased article, because it could be seen as promotion for Northeastern University. A way to improve on this is to look at other universities that also use role-play. If no other school does, then a way to change the wording to make it as neutral as possible could be by stating, Northeastern University is the only university that uses role-play. Minor Points There are citations present, but there are no references in the article. The word count is also evidently low for the assignment. In addition, role-play is used interchangeably with role play. Consistently is important on Wikipedia, so this is something that needs to be changed throughout the article. There are no images in the article, but because of the topic this is okay. If anything can be found, it would definitely improve the design of the article.
