WEBSITE EVALS
After reading the 3 articles, I was
able to spot some similarities and differences as well. The most notable similarity
that I was able to pick out is that all three articles are secondary sources in
that they get their information from other sources. This is where the
information becomes vulnerable to being vandalized or pranked. One of the
differences that I noticed from the reading is the lengths or size of the
materials. Another difference is that two of the articles gave different
accounts of the doctor’s name and one even mentioned that Dr. Vacanti was an
anesthesiologist. Another notable difference is that the ABC science article
mentioned a short history of the study before the current study.
Of the three articles, I believe
the most credible article is the one by ABC Science. My belief is prompted by
several factors. One of these is that Dr. Karl did a thorough job is
investigating the “ear mouse” made
notable because it mentioned a short history of the study conducted by Charles
Vacanti, the brother of Joseph. It even goes on to name facts about the study
making it even more realistic. It even shares about the work done on Sean
McCormack who was born without bones or cartilage on the left side of his
chest.
After this activity, I am now aware
that truth never comes with the very first article you read or your very first
impression. With that comes the assumption that not all articles are relevant
and correct. We must make time to sit down and weigh in on our options of
articles so that we get the most accurate information we can get for our
personal uses. It is always good to shop around for the best product before
making a final decision and selection.
