Hello Jim and TBers,
 
These are both sites we have been recommending to students via the
College Writing Center web page.  My favorite, though, is Purdue's
Online Writing Lab (OWL), which is usually referred to as the
"grand-daddy" of OWLs.  It's an amazing resource for both students and
teachers.  I highly recommend it.  http://owl.english.purdue.edu/

        Dartmouth Writing Program
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~writing/materials/about.shtml

        University of Wisconsin-Madison Writing Center
http://www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/

         

        There are a number of fine online resources that will help
students develop their college-level writing skills. The first site
offered here comes from the Dartmouth College Writing Program, and
contains a number of helpful materials, such as some well-written
essays that answer the question "What is an academic paper?" and also
provide information on researching topics for papers. The site also
includes information on such topics as writing about film, writing for
sociology courses, and helpful suggestions on writing from fellow
students. 

         

        The second site is offered by the University of
Wisconsin-Madison's Writing Center and contains material on how best to
cite references and avoiding common grammar and punctuation mistakes.
Taken together, these sites provide a host of materials that will allow
students to become better writers in their various courses during their
time in the world of higher education and beyond.
