Hold a class discussion about some of the different writing conventions of
various academic departments. For instance,
- how are the expectations for an English paper different from a history paper? An engineering paper?
- What types of writing concerns are shared regardless of discipline?
- Should all writing be judged on the same set of criteria?
- Is there such a thing as one "correct" form of writing?
Please observe appropriate decorum.
