What is the service "Written Feedback"?

Updated on

Written Feedback enables students to fill out a form describing what they're working on and what they need help with, attach their writing piece, and receive feedback within 12 hours. The accepted file formats are: doc, docx, txt. The maximum file size is 5MB. *For all other file formats, such as ppt, please use the Drop-in 24/7 service option.

Written Feedback is not a proofreading or correction service. It is guided feedback that teaches students how to build their writing skills. It offers practical revision strategies that focus on high-level writing skills. Resources are offered to enhance student's ability. For example, students won't receive feedback just telling where to put the comma, but they may receive more in-depth feedback on how to use commas.

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

  • Encourage students to submit only the portion of the paper they need support with as full papers may not be reviewed fully within the 12-hour turn-around period. 
  • After a student fills out the form and clicks submit, they are prompted to remove personal information from their uploaded work for privacy protection. 
  • Underneath the submission form, there is a Previous Feedback section where learners' feedback populates once it has been completed. They receive an email directing them to this area when their feedback is ready to view.
