- I believe that the IMRAD format is a great thing for science especially in today’s world. IF there were no such thing as an IMRAD statement then papers written by scientists would be alot harder to read. SiInce there is a system that almost every scientist follows,. iIt allows for scientists to be able to skim quickly through papers so that they can gain as much information as possible in as little time. When readers are able to go to the exact section that they are able to put more info into their own paper. When I was looking through the words of Gee and Cuddy, I looked at how they showed the meaning of Discourse and how they talked about different discourse, the way they both talk about scientific discourse was very different. Gee talks about all these tasks. A quote that he uses is “What we say, do, and are in using language enacts practices. At the same time, what we say, do, and are would have no meaning unless these practices already existed…language and practices ‘boot strap’ each other into existence in a reciprocal process through time. We cannot have one without the other” (Gee 33). In this quote Gee talks about three words in a different way those words are believing, saying and doing. Discourses are when you have study and learned something to the point where you are comfortable being it, doing it, or making other people believe that you are it.
