ABOUT GRAMMAR:
Below are
several links that will lead to grammar handouts on the web. These
are the same handouts that we use during class.
I strongly
suggest that you engage all the handouts, for I expect students to turn in work
that does not contain sentence fragments, run-on sentences, and other sentence
level errors. For example, if I note that your paper has sentence fragments,
then go to the handouts on sentence fragments, so that you can learn how to
solve the problem.
Moreover, all
of these problems stem from a fundamental inability to distinguish independent
clauses from dependent clauses, so students should begin with that particular
handout.
