Option 1

 * Article title
 * Humanistic Psychology
 * Humanistic psychology
 * Article Evaluation
 * Everything presented in the article is relevant to the topic of humanistic psychology the information is not out of date either it was published in 2019 of November. This article primarily focuses on the benefits of humanistic psychology and while it's definitely important to acknowledge the various theories and therapies it's just as important to mention drawbacks or negatives which this article does not. Arguably humanistic psychology is the ideal standard referring to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs that an individuals goal is to reach self actualization and while this is a great concept most people go their whole life without meeting this standard of life which again this article doesn't mention. However that's not to say it doesn't make compelling arguments that people have the will, ability, and choice to do what they want and encourage self awareness I think it's also important to note that circumstances also can lead to more unfortunate life decisions or choices. So I would say this article provides a relatively neutral outlook as it doesn't really mention or explore the negative aspects of humanistic psychology which I do agree with I would like to add the drawbacks of humanistic psychology.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Health in athletics
 * Health issues in athletics
 * Article Evaluation
 * Yes the articles content is relevant to the topic and while it's information is definitely accurate I think another thing that's important to note is to not just our internal issues with considering anxiety depression, perfectionism, etc but also our external contributors like maybe coaches our parents, friends who unknowingly place high expectations on athletes in efforts to drive them to be better can actually spiral into another contributor of a poor mental state.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Study Skills
 * Study skills
 * Article Evaluation Yes this articles content is relevant to the topic and while all of the strategies and methods listed are great for studying, I also found it interesting that it didn't mention the benefit of music when studying or even productivity. However even though it is definitely a controversial opinion I think that music can be extremely beneficial and specifically classical music there is actually research that shows classical music stimulates a part of brain that not only relaxes us but allows for engagement and better focus.
