Personalized feedback for improved writing

Students can also submit their writing for a detailed, nursing content-specific Writing Review. Our tutors review writing in a variety of formats—paragraphs, essays, cover letters, or resumes—and provide comments. Nursing-specific content review is also available for any assignment.

Each review contains comments embedded in the writing sample along with a detailed response form with personalized feedback on strengths and areas for improvement and a summary of next steps to improve the writing.
