Summary

This brief, spiral-bound style manual is designed to help reduce the number of errors made by students in their formal academic writing. The manual is an inexpensive supplement to whatever text is in use for a course. It contains condensed versions of the two most commonly used writing styles (MLA and APA) and several full text examples written by undergraduate and graduate students. The conventions have been condensed to include only those most commonly needed so that students will find this style guide more accessible and less intimidating.
