What to Expect When Using Live Writing Tutoring or Paper Review
Can writing tutors help me with research or course concepts?
If you need help finding sources for your assignment, the library can help you with that. If you need help with the subject matter of your assignment, reach out to your instructor.
Can writing tutors check my paper for plagiarism?
If you need to check your document for plagiarism, Turnitin is the best tool to get a similarity score. Information on Turnitin can be found at Understanding Turnitin.
Can paper reviewers correct my APA formatting and style?
They may point out an APA error, but they do not provide a full APA review. Use live writing tutoring to get help with a review of APA.
Can the writing tutors edit my paper?
The paper review and live writing tutors can answer questions and make suggestions for revisions needed to organization, topic development, and other larger writing concerns. It is up to you to then apply that feedback to your writing. Use Grammarly to get proofreading for your grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
