Plan: IMRaD Report


For my IMRaD report, I plan on conducting a survey for question (1) and an interview for question (2). The survey or interviews will be conducted in my English 102 class (or through email) and the participants will be my fellow classmates. After collecting all the data, I will analyze it in many ways. First, I will summarize the most important aspects of the study. Secondly, I will point out any problems in the experiment. Then, explain any implications. Lastly, suggestions for future research will be brought fourth.
