The presentation discusses teaching writing conventions specific to academic disciplines. It aims to show differences in resources, writing styles, and citation formats between fields like computer science and art history. The presenters will analyze samples that showcase problem-solving versus research-based approaches. They will also review citation styles used and provide discipline-specific research resources and references.
