Writing Resources

The Internet knows everything.

While the Writing Centre at Concordia is an excellent writing resource, it is always helpful to have a variety of online resources, in addition to this website, to consult from the comfort of home and/or the library. I have compiled a list of the greatest writing resources available on the web which you can use in collaboration with the Writing Centre and your brain to create amazing essays. So, here it goes:

If you feel like you might need a comprehensive grammar overview and you don't have time to fit Writing 300 into your course schedule, the University of Ottawa has a program called HyperGrammar, designed as an online course that breaks down every essential grammatical element. It is comprehensive, well laid-out, and free!

The Purdue Online Writing lab has a collection of over 200 free resources, from brief explanations of grammatical questions to detailed, step-by-step guides to different aspects of the writing process.

If you want to get into some nitty gritty grammar, or you have a few specific grammatical problems to address, the Internet Grammar of English is specifically designed for undergraduate students looking to improve their grammar.

When it comes to Citation Styles, Concordia's library has already done all the work for me: you can find a compilation of the most useful online resources for citing sources here! http://library.concordia.ab.ca/services/citing.php

Happy essay-writing!
