Learning Objectives

Part 1: Correctness

In Part 1, you will learn about the most common spelling, grammar, style, and word choice problems you are likely to encounter as you compose your essay. We put these rules first because they are what most students worry about and will want to have handy. However, when you are writing your ideas, don't get distracted with correctness; afterwards, take the time to look up the rules you need.
