Based on the CMS paper sample on page 84 of the text, I would say that a few of the differences between Chicago Manual Style and MLA format are the use of a title page, the use of marginal annotations, and the format of the citations. While MLA format is typically used for people writing in the humanities fields, Chicago Manual Style is mainly written in the history field. In this sample, a title page is used. In MLA format a title page is not required, though, it can sometimes be included if requested

SUGGESTED RESOURCES If you don’t own the APA Style Manual, you should at least be very familiar with APA writing style requirements. A good resource is the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ TCU also has a writing lab (http://www.wrt.tcu.edu/default.asp?cat=staff&staff=11) that can be very helpful if you choose to access it as a resource. I expect writing to be well-edited and to align with APA style requirements. Editing well is akin to putting

Writing Style What is writing style? I started out thinking that writing style is a personal thing and that all writers have their own style. But, this way of thinking is really just a simple way to answer the question. After more careful thought, I realized that style is actually quite the opposite of personal and original. Style is a form of standardization. As writers, we all follow certain rules and guidelines to make our point. Style is these rules and guidelines. For a writer to better

somewhat confident (or even frustrated) by the rules that you already knew or forgot, examine Style by Joseph M. Williams. Mr. Williams is a professor of English and Linguistics at the University of Chicago. You may have already encountered another book published by the University on the subject. Fear not; Williams book is not an immense conundrum of rules in the same vein as The Chicago Manual of Style. I prefer to think of it as a response to Strunk & White; Williams will address many of the same

IKEA GUIDE A NEW GENERATION LIFE STYLE Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University December 31, 2008 IKEA is the way to Heaven, because anybody can trust the spirit that releases energy through the arrangement of furniture. ——Edward Norton (Award winning actor) There are many things to the secret of IKEA’s success. There is the design of the store which requires the customers to walk a long way before reaching the exit. The lack of customer service requires

Writing Style I hear inner Strunk and White voices of “don’t overwrite”, “write in a way that comes naturally,” and so forth, going through my head. I have visions of endless Williams examples and illustrations on clarity. I see weeks of blog writings flashing through my memory. From all of this, I now own and believe in a firm and personal definition of what style is and what good writing entails. William Strunk and E.B. White’s book The Elements of Style, along with Joseph

Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style” A typical science fiction fan can be more familiar about Star Trek and it’s characters than some of their own family members. For those that are not all that familiar with this “Sci Fi” show, Star Trek remains as a very well known icon in television history. The crew of the Starship Enterprise traveled to mysterious planets, through mysterious galaxies. I wonder if this journey couldn’t be compared to the journey of style for the writer. In Strunk

of athletics, and therefore, the purposes of the articles differ. The articles are based on the similar topics, but the authors wrote the articles for different disciplines; therefore, the articles differ in language, structure, and the reference style they use. II. Structure The articles employ different structures; one is written in chronological order and the other is organized by problem and solution. “Sport Psychology: the Ultimate Spring Board of Excellence” is formatted so that the

For all intents and purposes, plagiarism is defined as the practice of taking someone’s thoughts and/or ideas and claiming them as your own or not giving them their due credit as the originator. Even though plagiarism sounds like it isn’t that big of a deal, it most definitely is and can have life-changing consequences for those who commit it. One such incident can be found in the case of Gabrielle Napolitano. In January of 1982, Napolitano, who was a senior at Princeton University, was found to
