IMRaD vs Research Argument

One major difference between these two assignments is that the research argument paper was biased and was used to argue a point, the IMRaD assignment is not biased and is just presenting research. Another difference between the two is the type of research that is done, for the research assignment we had to use other scholarly source for our research, in the IMRaD assignment we will be conducting our own surveys. The two assignments also have a different format. The research assignment was like a normal essay you would write with an introduction, body, and conclusion. The IMRaD has separate sub heading for each section and its more of a scientific research paper.
