Link Five Paragraph Essays Suck This is a link to a very humorous article that addresses overly formalistic writing that most students come into college believing is the "right" way to design a formal essay. The reality is that you have a lot of freedom in your writing to say what you want in whatever way you deem easiest for your readers to understand. But easy reading means hard writing. Beyond that principle, I have no other expectations for your essay format besides what is written in your assignment guidelines. Link Postmodernism This link will take you to the Stanford Encyclopedia entry for postmodernism. It is an extensive and user-friendly log covering many philosophical dynamics of postmodernism that you may find useful to reference in your research paper. NOTE: This source will not count towards your requirement for a scholarly article. This is still an encyclopedia, used for referencing, not knowledge making.
