I have nominated this article for a peer review,to find improvement areas before it undergoes quality assessment. - Amog |Talk 14:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
To be perfectly honest, the article reads like an official document (excluding, of course, the controversies section). Typically, you want a well-written piece that minimizes information that most readers will not be interested in. For example, consider the 'History' section which can be compressed into a couple of sentences. Someone needs to go through the article and add whitespaces after commas.
Lead
[edit]Looks ok. Perhaps you can add a line relating to the controversies here to make it interesting. Perhaps not.
History
[edit]Too much detail. And, what is a grihapravesam? I assume that not much has happened in the way of exciting stuff (good news for a college!) so there is not much to say here but surely the college must have grown in number of students, degrees granted, areas of instruction, etc. Perhaps that should be featured in the history section.
Milestones
[edit]These aren't really milestones. The first para (SIPC stuff) should go into a section on 'Management and administration' since apparently SIPC owns the college. In that section, you should include any information about a board of directors, how they are selected, etc. You also need to include information about finances (is the college self-sufficient, does tuition cover all expenses, if not, where does the rest of the money come from? Is there an endowment?)
The second part of the milestones section should go into a section on alumni.
The BT in info tech should go into 'History'.
Library
[edit]Probably should go into a section labeled Facilities.
The Forum
[edit]Should probably go into a section on Academics. That's where you want to put areas of instruction (departments), special academic programs, etc.
Other stuff
[edit]You need to talk about admissions in a way that makes the controversy described in the article clear. It is not clear to someone like me (who knows nothing about admission to Chennai colleges) what the implications of the controversy are and how the controversy links to the way in which students are admitted.
Hostel
[edit]I suggest rewriting this under the title 'Student life' and including information about clubs, activities (festivals?) etc. Think about what someone from a rival college would like to know about student life at SVC.
Scholarships and Honors
[edit]Should go in academics as a sub-section. Honors, as a section, typically relates to honors that the college and its members receive from outside. --RegentsPark (talk) 18:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
