Abstract: We introduce a method of obtaining a projective bimodule resolution for a quotient $\Lambda$ of a path algebra by repeatedly tensoring a canonical short exact sequence with $\Omega^1_{\Lambda^e}(\Lambda)$. In one form our method gives a normalized bar resolution, and we discuss how to modify our construction to obtain a computationally more tractable resolution. We then give a method of computing resolutions of right $\Lambda$-modules given in the form of a presentation.
