Purdue's Online Writing Lab (OWL) is one authoritative resource on writing.
Here are a few.
   1. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/1/4/ Specific tips on grammar
and sentence mechanics: see the fine page on sentence clarity.
   2. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/683/01/ - general info for
international students on writing conventions in NoAmer colleges.
   3. http://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/revision.html Here?s a user
friendly piece with tips for Rewrites, including what I often tell students.
   4. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/607/1/ David asked for a
resource on commas, since we get sloppy at times. Beyond 11 quick rules, five
more pages follow.

Instructions and tips for the first paper are posted under Materials between the materials for Lectures 5 and 6, due on Monday, March 1st.
