Option 1

 * Article title
 * Chartered Financial Analyst


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relevant. It goes really in depth of what the CFA program includes, what its test preps you for as well as the benefits of it in many countries, not just U.S specific. There are some points that lack a citation however with all of the possible information that can be placed within this article it is bound to happen. One thing i do notice is missing is its comparativeness towards other similar designations such as a MBA, CFP, CAIA, and CPA. Going into how it compares to other designations can enhance its reputability as well as if why you should or shouldn't take the exam due to your personal career goals. Another lacking part of the article is the benefits of the CFA such as possible positions and/or average incomes of jobs that the CFA can help you get. The article's content is pretty up to date as of 2020, with a few new missing information, specifically on the difficulty of the new tests and the new lower pass rates from this already difficult exam/program. However it is strong in showing the basic information of the CFA and the breakdown of what its curriculum is and the possible knowledge it offers to its participants. It is also really good on breaking down how the cfa stands up world-wide to different countries as well.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * JD-MBA


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is a start class article which needs more information on the topic. The article just describes literally what a JD-MBA is and how long a program will be. Due to the lack of information there is not a specific leading into why or why not you should do the joint program or even what the curriculum can look like at least for the top schools or different styles of the programs for a JD-MBA. The lead is very concise and gets straight to the point but again can be little more detail to give a decent detailing of what the program will hold. The best way to i,prove this article is detail what the curriculm can be for a joint degree and the pros and cons of the JD-MBA in comparison to a JD and/or MBA separetly.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * CFA Institute


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is a stub class article, with very little to basic information of the CFA Institute. The lead is a suffice introduction of what the CFA institute is and represents.
 * However the content is very minimum and gives a basic detailing of the history of the CFA Institute and just information on how it was formulated. The little bit of content there is accurate. In terms of the view point of the Institute, there is not information to flesh out a specific view point, if it is negative, positive, or neutral. However, some information as well seems to be jumped around which again shows that there is not a true viewpoint just yet. This article can be improved by both adding how the CFA Institute and its programs came to fruition on top of how they can impact peoples  careers. It has a good start on what the CFA Institute is but the goal of enhancing it would be bringing in information on why you should or shouldn't take part of one their programs, the pros and cons of the programs, as well  as possible networking advantages and disadvantages of being a charter holder from one of the CFA Institutes well known programs. Also, it can be improved by explaining the institutes code and ethics, and why it continues to be prominent.
