2. To go about determining whether or not Elefant is respected in her field I would most likely search her name on the internet and see what all she does and her accomplishments if there are in. Secondly, I would go to her "about me" tab on her blog to see if there are things written that point towards her being well respected.
3. Her blog post is written for an audience that is knowledgeable about her subject. I can tell this because of the comments that were left on the blog post.
4. No, because the article is far from up to date. She doesn't use references well and I fell as though this was just an article to get her thoughts and the thoughts of others put out there.
5. The comments say that this is just an article to get thoughts out there. From the comments, this is not an article to do research off of and that her audience varies.
I think you did a great job on these analysis questions. I agree with you about the article because the source information seems out of date and needs to be updated to become credible. The author did not to a great job of keeping her opinions to her self. I think the comments did a good job of questioning her credibility and her information. I think that she could have done a better job of updating the site and adding new information. Overall your analysis was great and I totally agree with everything you wrote.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your analysis as well. I think you chose great steps to see if this was a reliable source. Most of my answers agreed with your's, so i can tell we felt the same way about the article. It is very out of date and i couldn't have said it better myself. Job well done.
