In academic writing, a student needs to properly understand and put forth individual work that meets criteria established by the following formatting and style guides: APA, MLA, Turabian, and AMA. This requires proper citing, quoting, formatting, and referencing of sources when writing a paper or completing an assignment. An interdisciplinary studies student is faced with varying formatting and style guides across disciplines during their course of study. This assignment will introduce and prepare the student for a cross-discipline approach to graduate writing.
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:

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.
- 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.
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:
- Title Page
- Main Body
- Heading(s)
- In-text references, citations, or quotes (a minimum of two)
- Reference Page
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).
