IMRaD Report v.s Research Paper

 Our second major assignment was a research paper on a topic that had to do with our field. It had to be 6-7 pages long. For major assignment three we had to do a mediation on the same topic as major assignment 2. mediation is different then most other writing formats but closest to a research paper. IMRAD is structured in a way that gives a lot of information in a way that is quicker then a research paper.
     IMRAD, like a research paper, is about collecting information and applying it to prove a point, but the IMRAD can show this in different ways. IMRAD reports have graphs and charts with still paragraphs of information. This allows readers to obtain more information from visuals. Although they both supply information the information is even diffrent between them. In IMRAD it is used mostly for scientific research and uses alot of statics for its answers. Research papers have a hard time doing this, but can apply more information on how to do things or things that require more words to prove.

5 Things a Page Needs and Two Websites That Have That

Spritsweb.com says that any key website needs these five steps to be a good website.

1. Appearance
2. Content
3. Functionality
4. Website Usability
5. Search Engine Optimization

Two websites that do a good job of this are Louisville.edu, and ua.edu. The main difference between the University of Louisville's website, and the University of Alabama's is Alabama's is more picture orientated. Although Alabama's page has more pictures Louisville's has more links and pages to go off of.

Median For Major Assignment 3

For major assignment 3 we have to use a median other then writing, such as power points, blogs, videos, or prezies. I will be using Prezi simply because I've used all the others already so much that I want to try out Prezi. Prezi is good for a couple things, it lets you use pictures videos and other multimedias to get out your point as well as it moves around in diffrent eye catching ways to give your topic the attention it wants.
    Being able to use things like pictures and charts and videos, lets me get out information I might not be able to get out as easily in a paper."Pictures paint a thousand words", a frase we've all heard a thousand times growing up, but in a since its true. Pictures, and other forms of multimedia, allow you to show information and credibility that you might not be able to in just words. For example if you where talking about how many people still smoke and you wanted to show how little amount of people really still smoke you could make a pie chart or even use one the CDC already made for extra credibility.
