    The “Guide to Writing” handbook in our Course Resource folder has lots of material about grammar and mechanics. It’s available all semester for you to consult as you write your papers. In addition, I’ve also posted review videos about grammar and mechanics in our first eight modules as supplemental material that you may find helpful and interesting! Here’s your first group of videos. Enjoy!

    To refresh your understanding of subjects, verbs, irregular verbs and subject-verb agreement, please review the videos below. (If the links aren’t “clickable” for you, copy and paste the link into a new browser window.)
