Introduction             Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep, sleep is one of the most important factors in your everyday life. Sleep plays a huge role in your mental and physical health, if you don’t get enough sleep it can be very dangerous. Now as a student at a university I decided to conduct a survey on how sleep deprivation can have a toll on academic success. I chose the topic considering the personal ties I have with the certain issue, also it would help to realize how important the issue is among college students and their academics. In one article called College Students: getting enough sleep is vital to academic success the author makes sure to explain that even the shortest amount of sleep can result in something terrifying, “After two weeks of sleeping six hours or less a night, students feel as bad and preform as poorly as someone who has gone without sleep for 48 hours.” (AASM, Dr. Eps...

My topic proposal is look into how students at the University of Iowa abuse alcohol, by doing this experiment I will see how big of a problem it is for the University of Iowa's underage drinking. I would say by doing this topic it will open up the eyes of everyone and help people understand how many people abuse alcohol and possibly try and prevent people from abusing alcohol. Now obviously this experiment would not be to rat out people who do abuse alcohol it would have to be secretive survey so people can protect their information. This isn't about people casually drinking alcohol but it's about people abusing alcohol every night or so. some of the research questions I would ask is, "how many drinks have you consumed in the past 3 weeks?", and another one, "would you count yourself as someone who go's out a lot?". obviously for my research I would analyze many people from a representative population, then have the people take a survey without menti...

The main difference between a argument based paper and a IMRAD paper is obviously in the name. A IMRAD paper is all about a technical report sometimes even on an experiment. In this paper you are not just saying your argument then backing the whole idea up with a ton of research you are selecting what you have already researched then concluding with how you did all of that research. also in a argument paper you are introducing what you support as your first paragraph then backing up your "argument" with multiple in text citations and body paragraphs that help support your claim. in an IMRAD paper you are predicting what you think the answer is going to be and then supporting that claim by having a title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references. A IMRAD paper makes you go way more into detail and describes everything you are doing.
