 * 1) The article is "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy". Everything within the article is pertaining to the overall topic. It has to do with the different approaches to cognitive behavioral therapy and how it can be approached per each individual's psychological assessment. There can be a bit more detail about how it can be used depending on each disorder and how it is supposed to be helping. Most of the information seems to be up to date considering that it mentioned how to deal with virtual therapy sessions.
 * 2) It is heavily biased towards the effectiveness because within the data found, it is very effective, but it also has its downfalls. There is some touch upon how it may not be the most effective, but it leans heavily towards the pros. The side effects section are underrepresented because there is very little information provided about what side effects could potentially be seen and what approaches are taken when this may not fully help a patient.
 * 3) The citation links do work and there are a lot provided. It was helpful to learn more about what each topic has to do with and make more sense about where the information came from. The sources I looked at were from scholarly articles and other research based papers that did support the claims from the articles and involved more detail and experiments of where this information came from and why it was accurate/valid. The sources aren't so neutral because they are mostly about how it benefits patients rather than about the cases in which it doesn't always work. The bias is not noted from the sources I read.
 * 4) There was not much going on on the talk page of this article, which I found very surprising because it is a widely read article and can be debated about from different perspectives. The article is apart of two WikiProjects. Both are rated B-class, high importance and are WikiProject Psychology and WikiProject Medicine.
 * 5) Wiki discusses this topic in similar ways that we discuss things in class. Because all of our modules and topics are online and the only way we can view is by reading or watching visuals. The article is similar to the way we break up in modules the different resources and discuss what each topic is referring to. It is easy to read through and understand how each point refers to the next and how it ties altogether to the umbrella topic of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. There are less visuals and audio examples in this article specifically, which is different from class, but the written examples are similar to the way we do it during each module.
