2. In what ways are the information, ideas, and arguments in the source relevant to your research writing project?
The information and arguments perfectly align with my project. This source explores the outcomes of poor sleep, stress, drowsy driving, drug abuse, mortality, effects on well being, costs to economy, sleep tips, research in medicine, and the importance of keeping the public informed. Basically everything I wanted and more.
3. Is the line of argument in the source sound and well supported? In what ways can you use it in your project?
The line of argument is sound and well supported (4 pages of references). I can use it to bring lots of information from other studies into my project. However, I need to be careful because this is a secondary source, mostly being a review of dozens of studies and books and other articles.
4. What have you learned about the author and publisher that would lead you to accept, question, or reject the line of argument presented in the source?
The first author has a RPSGT, R. EEG T, R.NCS.T., and MS. So I think I accept her line of argument.
5. In what ways does the publication date of the source affect your judgement of its usefulness for your project?
The publication date is September 2012, which is recent enough the research should still be current with scientific findings. However, some of the sources the article refers to are much older, which I will have to watch out for.
6. In what ways does the comprehensiveness of the source affect your judgement of its usefulness for your project?
The source is an inclusive and extensive study of poor sleep, encompassing a broad range of issues and thoroughly researching each.
7. In what ways does the genre of the source affect your judgement of its usefulness for your project?
I'm not sure how useful this source will be because it is a review of other studies. All the information contained is from any of the 80 different articles and studies the authors cited.
8. In what ways could this source help you achieve your purpose and address the needs and interests of your readers?
This source could help me by giving me scientific evidence and studies to present my argument with.
9. How are you likely to use this source in your project?
I am likely to use it by summarizing their findings... we will see.

2. In what ways are the information, ideas, and arguments in the source relevant to your research writing project?
The information and ideas mainly answer the question: How does a lack of sleep affect adolescents? Although it is looking at one specific part, I can use a lot of the information.
3. Is the line of argument in the source sound and well supported? In what ways can you use it in your project?
It is sound and well supported. Since it is a direct report of a study conducted, I can use it as a primary source to support my arguments.
4. What have you learned about the author and publisher that would lead you to accept, question, or reject the line of argument presented in the source?
I accept the author's line of argument because of the careful procedures used to conduct the study. The results and limitations are fully discussed, with any questions being addressed as topics for future studies. The author's draw their hypothesis on a number of other trusted sources.
5. In what ways does the publication date of the source affect your judgement of its usefulness for your project?
The publication date is July 2011, so it is a recent enough study that can support my paper.
6. In what ways does the comprehensiveness of the source affect your judgement of its usefulness for your project?
The source begins by explaining how sleep deprivation has a number of negative effects, including the way the brain operates. The author's use this then to drive the question of their main study. The way the source encompasses lots of information, but also very detailed information about a specific issue will be really helpful.

The article is an analysis of raw information from a large study. This primary source will be very useful in supporting my arguments.
8. In what ways could this source help you achieve your purpose and address the needs and interests of your readers?
This source could help me by giving me scientific evidence and a primary study to present my argument with.
9. How are you likely to use this source in your project?
I am likely to use it by both presenting their findings and summarizing their potential solutions and ideas.

2. In what ways are the information, ideas, and arguments in the source relevant to your research writing project?
The information may not align perfectly with my project (it is very specific). The goal of this source is to look at the effect of morningness/eveningness on sleep/wake schedules. I might be able to use some of the evidence found to support my project.
3. Is the line of argument in the source sound and well supported? In what ways can you use it in your project?
The line of argument is sound and well supported with their findings and other sources. I can use it do define morningness/eveningness in my paper if I need to. It is also another primary study.
