Purdue University's Online Writing Lab
Purdue University has a wonderful and extensive collection of handouts on grammar, study skills, and generating ideas for your writing. The information covers both academic and professional (memos, resumes, cover letters, etc.) writing in a clear, concise way. PowerPoint presentations on writing can be downloaded and viewed for visual learners. This site also contains excellent guides for APA and MLA documentation.
