  • this link takes you to a video describing the correct way to use a semi-colon. I’ve just marked 60 report assignments. One of my most oft repeated comment was incorrect use of semi-colon. This Khan Academy video shows how. I use these videos a lot to teach grammar and writing.  The student can watch it as many times as needed to fully understand the rules because they are complex.  This link can be posted on Moodle for student reference, in fact I could build a library of Khan Academy links there for common errors. This material is boring to go over again and again in class, but some students really need it.
