Helps with Usage, Grammar, and Punctuation
Diana Hacker Handbooks
Diana Hacker has an excellent website to use in connection with her handbooks. But you don’t need to have bought the handbook to use it. Just click on one of the covers, log in with a name, and you can do self-correcting exercises, which include explanations.
BYU WebCLIPS
BYU has self-paced instruction modules on grammar, etc. Students can take a pre-test and a post-test, as well as practice with learning drills. You need to register your class with them to use this, but it can be very helpful. Talk to Harold Hendricks (422-6448) for more information.
