- Avoiding Plagiarism
- Academic writing in American institutions is filled with rules that writers often don't know how to follow. A working knowledge of these rules, however, is critically important; inadvertent mistakes can lead to charges of plagiarism or the unacknowledged use of somebody else's words or ideas. While other cultures may not insist so heavily on documenting sources, American institutions do. A charge of plagiarism can have severe consequences.
- Academic Integrity and Documentation-Citations
- Students are often confused by the many terms used when we discuss documenting sources—the process by which we acknowledge the use of another’s words, ideas, conclusions, information, data, graphics, and products. These terms—citations, footnotes, endnotes, works cited, references, bibliography—are associated with a particular documentation style, namely, APA or MLA.

Browse through our directory of citation guides and feel free to use this web site's MLA-style Works Cited as an example.
- Common Errors in English
- The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I'll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we're concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak.
- Guide to Essay Writing
- An essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure is the same no matter what. You may be writing an essay to argue for a particular point of view or to explain the steps necessary to complete a task. Either way, your essay will have the same basic format. If you follow a few simple steps, you will find that the essay almost writes itself. You will be responsible only for supplying ideas, which are the important part of the essay anyway.
- The Five Paragraph Essay
- A writing prompt gives definition and direction to the assigned topic. It can be as simple as a general idea, or complex enough to define the position of the thesis as well as the supporting paragraph.At this site, you will find type specific prompts and additional information about these three categories of essays: Expository, Narrative, Persuasive.
