First Time Student Rigger "HELP"

Hey everyone this is my first time posting, but Ive been a long time fan of the site. Anyway I recently joined up with a group for one of my classes to work on an animation for the fall only to find out that no one in the group has any remote idea what rigging is or how to do it. I have some experience here and there, but nothing on the scale a full character.

So my question is to all the fine people on TA is if you have any suggestion on reading material and or tutorials. I’ve scoured the internet for all types of information, but I haven’t found anything that builds a good foundation.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
