For this assignment, you will create two versions of the same paper by utilizing two different formatting and style guides. The steps for completing this assignment are below:
1. Determine the formatting and style guide associated with each of your areas of study. If both of your areas of study use the same formatting and style, please select a second formatting and style different than your areas of study for this assignment. If you have questions, please contact your instructor.
2. Become familiar with both formatting and style guides by reviewing The Online Writing Center’s quick guides. You may click on the links below to access each directly:
a. APA
b. MLA
c. Turabian
d. AMA
3. In order to complete this assignment, you will need to read the article titled “Translation and Transfer: Interdisciplinary Writing and Communication” by Denise Comer and write a one-page summary. You can view this article in the Reading & Study folder within Module/Week 2.
4. The same one-page summary will then be structured into two individual papers using each of your two formatting and style guides. Create and save each paper separately and independently, as you will upload both of them into BlackBoard using the same link in Module 2.
5. You will not need to write an Abstract for this assignment. Each of your papers should be written according to the appropriate formatting and style guide and follow the below outline:
a. Title Page
b. Main Body
i. Heading(s)
ii. In-text references, citations, or quotes (a minimum of two)
c. Reference Page
6. Save each paper separately and notate AOS I or AOS II somewhere in the document title prior to submission (AOS stands for Area of Study).
Submit your Formatting and Style Guide Assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 2.
