Blog Entry No.2 - Peer Review: Effendi WA2

The transition in the essay is smooth. There are a abundance of facts which very strongly support the advantages of VHTR.

However,the thesis statement is not very clear. The body paragraph mentions about the advantages of VHTR which the thesis statement fail to highlight.

There is no comparison with the other reactors. The essay seems biased because it only focus on VHTR as the reactor that the author take side on.

Only paragraph 3 has a warrant. The subsequent paragraph does not explain how it supports your thesis. Hence, it might result in the reader drawing different conclusion compared to what you want to present.

There is also a lack of counterclaim and rebuttal which makes the argument look less credible.
