Writing in the disciplines
University students are called upon to write papers and assignments for a number of different disciplines, each of which have their own language conventions, style, format, structure, and documentation styles. Some even have different ideas about what “counts” as good evidence or sound argument. The resources below will help you to navigate these differences with information on and writing samples from different disciplines.
