StudyStudent.com (http://www.studystudent.com)
has published a free e-book, entitled, "Writing Styles for College
Students" to help college and university students learn how to master
the three most popular (and sometimes troublesome) writing styles --
APA Style, Chicago (Turabian) Style and MLA Style.
Any student who has
worked on a dissertation, thesis or graduate paper knows the difficulties in
following a specific writing style. Students need to follow many writing and
formatting rules as they write their papers. These difficulties
include using correct margins, font style and size, pagination, headings and
footers; as well as knowing how to cite and format sources, and which specific pages
to include.
Retired university professor Peter Gallagher wrote, "Writing
Styles for College Students" to condense the most
commonly asked questions about APA Style, Chicago Style, and MLA Style. Gallagher
shows students how to apply these writing styles as they work on their formal
papers. He provides answers, guidance, and advice on:
1) How to start a
thesis, dissertation or formal paper;
2) How to cite
references for both online and offline sources;
3) How to format a paper in APA Style, Chicago Style,
or MLA Style;
4) What "display" pages to include -- and what pages not to
include;
5) When to use in-text citations, footnotes, endnotes as
well as a bibliography page or reference list page;
6) When to use Arabic or
Roman numerals to identify chapters, headings, parts, etc.;
7) How to present
tables, figures, and illustrations;
8) expert writing advice regarding writing
style and grammar usage; and so on.
"Many
students have trouble starting their papers because they focus too much on how to
setup their papers, instead of focusing on the actual writing," said Gallagher.
"Writing Styles for College Students" separates each writing style into
short chapters, and helps students begin writing their
papers immediately while guiding them along with the most essential formatting and
writing rules.
Students can download a free copy of "Writing Styles for
College Students" at www.StudyStudent.com, a free website that helps students learn
about writing a dissertation, thesis paper or term paper.
