Many people who are studying don't feel confident in their study or writing skills. We were not all well-educated in the ways of formal writing when we were at school, or given advice about how to study. If this applies to you have a look through these sites and see if you can find one that suits you:

Academic writing: Introduction - a UH guide – lots of good information.

UH Writing page - University of Hertfordshire Integrated Learning Project.

Eats Shoots and Leaves - about the book - play the game.

The Internet Grammar of English - a UCL guide. Good plain English advice, and exercises you can do on-line to check your skills.

Guide to Spelling - by Bradford University - Punctuation book/website – play the game?

Proofreading an essay - by Tees University.

The BUBBL Link Writing skills page - with links to all sorts of different kinds of writing.

Study skills & learning support - Support for Learning is a site for information, advice and the best resources online to support learning, careers and jobsearch. Go straight to writing skills here.

Essay Writing from Liverpool Hope's University - the GNU project is based in the Environmental and Biological Studies (EBS). It may be about geography but it's good advice.

How To Write Right - by Gerard M Blair. The focus is on engineering, but the advice is great, I think.

The US seems to have lots of sites - you might prefer one of these - but remember some things are different, particularly the spelling:
