The University of Claria is generally considered one of the best universities in the world because of its instructors' reputation, which is based primarily on the extensive research and publishing record of certain faculty members. In addition, several faculty members are internationally renowned as leaders in their fields. For example, many of the faculty from the English department are regularly invited to teach at universities in other countries. Furthermore, two recent graduates of the physics department have gone on to become candidates for the Nobel Prize in Physics. And 75 percent of the students are able to find employment after graduating. Therefore, because of the reputation of its faculty, the University of Claria should be the obvious choice for anyone seeking a quality education.
I found this article moderately reasoned. One of the reasons I did not find this article well reasoned is due to the fact that there was no concrete evidence given to support some of the article's claims. For instance, the English department at the University might actually be as internationally renowned as mentioned but due to the lack of names, it makes the claims harder to believe. The abscence of names makes the members of the university, in the mind of the reader, seem like fictitious characters. Also, due to the notariety of the Nobel Peace Prize, it would have been beneficial to the article if the writer would have at least given the particular field the two anonymous winners received their prize, which once again puts doubt in the mind of the reader regarding the validity of the article or moreso the information the article contains. In essence the article had the potential to be very well-reasoned but due to the lack of more concrete information, the article was less believable.
