Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.

For this article, I wanted to draw attention to the section, "Individual level observances." This section is only two sentences long with the last sentence missing a source. This section should either be expanded on or have sources that back up the statements.

In this article, there are some sections that briefly describe a region of the world while there are other sections that go in depth on certain countries. Rather than having that inconsistency, I believe the article should look into each region of the world with their own sections, or link to new articles that can go much more in depth about each country.

For having the highest TFR, Africa's section is only two sentences long. It does not bring any numbers like some of the other sections do. It also doesn't go into any social aspects as to why the developing countries of Africa tend to have higher TFR compared to the rest of the world.
