Self-Help Resources
Sometimes you need help at 2:00am, or only have a quick question, or a video is the best explanation. At these times it helps to know some of the resources available on-demand.

Subject-Specific
Writing
The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is the go-to resource for college writing information. It is what our tutors use, and it should be one of your bookmarked pages.

Turnitin Support

Math
Our tutors recommend Symbolab Math Solver which solves math problems step-by-step. One note though, this isn't to be used to do your homework, but to learn how to do your homework.

Mathway is another site to help you work through math problems. It has a variety of online calculators for any class.

Chemistry
The Dynamic Periodic Table is great for learning and exploring the elements. Sort, select, and search the various elements for a world of information.

General Resources
We here at the Learning Lab cannot recommend the Khan Academy highly enough. What started as one man tutoring his cousin using YouTube videos has become one of the best academic resources for students and teachers. While it is primarily geared towards math and high school students, there is a ton of information in a variety of subjects:

Math
Physics
Chemistry
Biology
Grammar
Economics
Test Prep

It is free to sign up and each subject is divided into easily consumable short lessons, videos, and practices.

CrashCourse is a YouTube channel, that was initially recommended as a great history resource, which it is, but also includes informative videos on literature, biology, ecology, chemistry, and more.
