Article Set #3

Raul Kamantigue Suarez outlined in his article Realities in RP Science the problems faced by some Filipino scientists. He enumerated them and provided explanations one paragraph each. But this structure made the article too bulky and straining for the eyes. Suarez is also guilty of committing syntax errors and run-off sentences. His introduction should be broken down into paragraphs too.

The article Human genetic variation -- Science's 'Breakthrough of the Year' outlined notable research advances similar to Suarez's article. But unlike the latter, the paragraphs of the former are evenly spaced, making it easier to read. However, the scientific terms and jargons used leaves average readers confused.

From Museum Basement, a 'New' Dinosaur by Yeganeh June Torbati is an easy read because of its smooth flow and use of common words. The topic and the way the article is written also make readers interested.

Another interesting article is Sindya N. Bhando's For Male Finches, Range Comes With Muscle. But it lacks depth and elaboration. It also ended abruptly, making readers wanting for more. This would have been the best article for this week's set had it not been for its shortcomings.
