Ready to talk with one of our consultants about your paper? Here are some questions to ask your consultant.
- Does my paper's organization—IMRD—match the assignment's expectations?
- Does my paper effectively follow the IMRD structure?
- Where do I need to clarify more?
- How well does each IMRD section communicate its purpose? For example, does my Methods section effectively communicate how I performed my experiment / study?
