Lessons range from Astronomy to Psychology, and they even have AP test prep videos. The lessons are organized by subjects, the university in which they came from, and which instructor taught them.

Meme’s come and go, but Knowyourmeme.com collects all the memes since the internet started and explains them. They have a graph showing when it was most in use, and examples of the meme.

If you’re trying to decide whether to watch Fame or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, you could easily go online and find a review. [Delete that sentence] Here’s a complied compiled? list of useful websites:

    Academicearth.com- Instead of desperately flipping though you’re [reword to "your"] textbook next time you miss a class, stop by Academicearth.com to listen to free university-leveled [reword to "level"] lectures. Lessons range from Astronomy to Psychology, and they even have AP test-prep videos. The lessons are organized by subjects [change to "subject"], the university in [change to "from"] which they came from [delete "from"], and which instructor taught them [rephrase to "and the instructor who taught"].

    Consumersearch.com- Before buying products, many people look for reviews. One such site was creating to serve that purpose. [Delete the above two sentences- it's really awkward] Consumersearch.com is a site which [reword to "that"] gathers the best reviews from around the internet, and [delete "and"] ranks them for their creditability, to [change "to" to "and"] helps the consumer make intelligent purchases in the least amount of time. They [change to "The website"] analyzes each review and ranks how much information is provided by it [rephrase to "and ranks the amount of information provided"]. They offer reviews for [rephrase to "The reviews are categorized by"] Electronics, Home & Garden, Kitchen & Food, Fitness & Sports, Computers & Internet, Family & Pets, Health & Beauty, and Automotives.

    Visuwords.com- Most of us use Google or the dictionary to translate words, but most times we need to know other words associated with them. [rephrase to "Yeah, Google or a dictionary can help you learn the meaning of a word, but what about synonyms? The word-in-question's function in a sentence?"] A word map would be useful instead [delete "instead"], which is the reason why [delete "why"] Visuwords.com was made. Visuwords.com provides the definition, synonyms, and the part of speech all in one diagram. Once you double-click a word, the diagram expands with the new synonyms. All this is free and requires no membership [rephrase to "doesn't even require a membership."].

    ]
    you the ability [reword to "chance"] to take a [delete "take a"] tour of the universe. These tours are downloading [reword to "downloaded"] off the website, in the tours astronomers and educators guide you through space this last clause doesn't make sense? I don't get what you're trying to say. At any time you can pause the tour, [delete comma] and go off exploring by [change "by" to "to"] your own. This program obtains the highest resolution picture possible for the particular area in space you are exploring currently [change "are exploring currently" to "wish to explore"] and stores it into [change "into" to "on"] your computer.

    Knowyourmeme.com- We’ve all seen memes on the internet one way [change "one way" to "some time"] or another. Anyone remember the time when there were still pictures around with the caption reading “its OVER 9000,” or more recently when images were photoshopped to include Kayne West interrupting people in situations like he did to Taylor Swift? [break into two sentences for more coherency] Meme’s [delete apostrophe] come and go, but Knowyourmeme.com collects [change to "has collected"] all the memes since the internet started and explains them. They [change to "the website" have a graph showing when it was most in use [rephrase to "utilizes a graph to show when the meme was most in use, providing corresponding examples.", and examples of the meme.

    The one thing all these websites have in common are that there useful in one way or another. Some could be used to become a more informed person; others could be used for just entertainment. They might be used in all different reasons, but some are just interesting to visit from time to time. This entire conclusion needs to be rewritten.... it still needs to be interesting...
