Online writing resources

“Papers, Expectations, Guidelines, Advice and Grading” by Dan White and Jeannie DeLombard. This is an excellent resource specifically designed to help students write strong essays in English literature courses. Strongly recommended.

Hypergrammar (University of Ottawa, an excellent site for grammar and style)

OWL (Purdue University, another excellent resource)
