Hello:

We've added a new section to the resources page titled "Parts of an Essay." We'll be inserting online resources that will help you out with common parts of "typical" essays and research papers.

Currently there are two links to the University of North Carolina on writing introductions and conclusions. They're quick reads that could make a world of difference in your writing.

We hope these resources continue to help you battle those composition woes!

We hope this makes your navigation here easier.
