How IMRaD is Different

-
The greatest difference between IMRaD writing and the writings that I have been doing before is research. Despite conducting an interview in one of my previous assignments, as a primary source, the result I got is pretty brief and general. While in IMRaD, the research you conduct has to be way more specific with data presentation. This type of primary research is starting from scratch and it is unlike an interview because all of the thesis has to come from whether the data was accurate.

The structure of IMRaD is way more specific than any other writing. This goes from what needs to go in the first sentence all the way to where the graphs and tables need to go. All the details are so many levels higher than any other writings I have done before. However, there are some similarities with APA format, such as the abstract and references.

The tone is way more technical in IMRaD than an argument based paper. Results and data speak for themselves in the IMRaD paper and it is harder to give biased opinions. While on the other hand, there is more space to use rhetorical tools to persuade the audience in the argument based paper. Also, IMRaD focuses on one main type of research while in argument papers you can use multiple types of research to add to your overall opinion on your subject.

Introduction and Methods

Introduction Automobiles have been a significant part of human history for centuries. They make a lot of our daily jobs more simple and achievable, such as transportation. However, the impact of internal combustion engines in cars have been causing pollution and releasing chemicals that are permanently changing our environment. It is undeniable that society is addicted to fossil fuel and the only way to change it and keep the perks of technology is to switch to electric power. There are ways to generate electricity through nature, such as capturing energy from the sun, using windmill, and so on. The key is to figure out which renewable resource is most favored by people, so it’ll be easier to build the infrastructure with everyone’s support. Aside, from knowing the renewable resources, it is important for people to get in the habit of not needing fossil fuel. Obviously, a way for people to not use fossil fuel is to not need them in the first place. Switching to electric vehicles wil...
