Do different disciplines have different writing styles?
APA, MLA, Chicago, CBE, style manuals for Sociology, Biology, Music, Geology, AP for journalism majors and everything you could imagine… Yes, and depending on what you are majoring in, what classes your taking, you will either “master”, be familiar or be briefly introduced and forget one, two or many writing styles. Each disciple has its own set of writing styles, citations and ways to demonstrate understanding and to support claims and evidence. As one takes more classes in their major and/ minor, one must learn and employ the writing styles specific to that discipline.
