Paradigm Online Writing Assistant

This is a site that I visited a few time about 7 years ago. I was surprised to see that it not only exists, but has gotten much better.

In addition, it seems as if they are attempting to start a community of learners, but it doesn't seem to be getting off the ground.

There are resources here that provide information on steps in the writing process from thinking of topics to revising and editing your writing. There are also pages dedicated to specific types of writing and a little (though sparse) on documenting your sources.

The Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL) is a great writing resource. Included in their site is an APA Formatting and Style Guide that is very useful. Check it out.

Understanding Plagiarism: School of Education, Indiana University at Bloomington

This is a good tutorial/quiz aimed at judging elements of plagiarizm. Work through the tutorial and see if you can pass the quiz at the end.

Advanced Composition for Non-Native Speakers of English

This is an interesting site for help with academic writing. It's essentially a free class. However, I don't think that there is any feedback.

However, that's why you have me. If you'd like to try any of these out, I'd be happy to look over your work.
