What is Academic Style?
Academic style refers to grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, expression of ideas and arguments, and the documentation of sources used to defend your ideas, arguments, and conclusions. Students at Royal St. George’s College are expected to master a variety of writing styles to suit different academic disciplines. Specific style demands vary from subject to subject, so students should pay careful attention to information provided in each class. As a default style, students should use the Modern Language Association (MLA) style. The library has the latest copy of The MLA Handbook For Writers of Research Papers. It is located in the reference section with the call number REF 808.027 GIB. Almost any bookstore will carry it in paperback.
