In his essay, Suvorova analyzes the presence and nature of dark matter in the universe. He also analyzes dark matter's relation to neutrinos and weak interactions. He says that our universe is comprised of 95% dark matter and dark energy, which can be calculated with the help of the cosmic microwave background, gravitational lensing, and dynamics of galaxy clusters. According to electroweak theory, Suvorova says, only weak interactions can go on between the dark matter particles because of large boson masses. This short range doesn't allow for strong and electromagnetic processes.
Suvorova makes an interesting point in his essay. He quotes other theoretical physicists, drawing upon the experiments and work of other scholars to make his case. Every equation and every claim has a link to another physicists work, further proving that what he has to say about dark matter is widely accepted. He is also associated with the Institute for Nuclear Research and the Russian Academy of Sciences, further proving that this man knows what he is talking about in the area of physics this paper touches on.
P.W. I've done a little more research on the author to provide more details on his credibility. On my first draft, I felt the second paragraph was lacking, but I made sure to address the issue in my second draft. If I had any question for the reader, I would ask: Does the author seem credible to you? Does this annotation make you want to understand more about nuclear physics?
Hi Ashley:
ReplyDeleteYou do a good job of working with an article on a very technical subject. I'm not completely certain as to the Big Idea that forms the heart of the source's argument, however. Can you provide that?
Your evaluation is useful, focusing mostly on the writer's credibility. Is there a way of tying that notion with the quality of the source's argument or presentation?
This is promising.

apostrophe? physicists work,
You're saying that the paper was pretty technical, but I dealt with it in a good way. But you think I didn't work the big idea of it into my paper enough. As for my evaluation of the author, I could have focused more on the quality of the argument. I feel that you've said everything that needed to be said without missing any of my essays high or low points. I know that from this assignment and your evaluation of it, I can learn to use proper MLA format, which will help me in other classes.
