How to Use the Stylebook
Welcome to the Stylebook. This guide will supplement what you are learning in your courses and help you produce well-written essays. The Stylebook serves a few main functions:
- To clarify the shared grading criteria for [your institution’s grading criteria—often found in the class Syllabus] IVCC's English department
- To give a basic overview of the three documentation styles used in [your institution’s classes—often found in the class Syllabus] IVCC classes
- To give a basic overview of how to use sources in an essay
This book is intended to help students write clear and accurate papers. At times, the instructor may have expectations different from the guidelines written here. If so, follow the guidelines of the assignment. The Stylebook is not intended to be a definitive or comprehensive grammar or documentation guide. Students who have questions about ideas that are not addressed here are encouraged to consult other resources:
Your instructor. See the faculty web pages [at your institution].
Your textbook. Many English textbooks have grammar sections and short guides to documentation.
The Writing Center. A tutor in the Writing Center [at your institution] may be able to help you. The Writing Center also has many other resources, such as grammar handbooks and documentation style manuals.
Library. Librarians are a knowledgeable resource for finding, using, and documenting sources. [Contact the library at your institution].
A handbook. The Writing Center recommends A Pocket Style Manual by Diana Hacker and Nancy Sommers. [Review the Syllabus at your institution to know which formatting/documenting style you will be required to use in your writings.]
Many of the documents within the Stylebook require Acrobat Reader to view. Download the reader here: Acrobat Reader.
