Online assignment review

What's involved in online writing review sessions?

Our online writing review sessions provide you an opportunity to get written feedback and video feedback on your assignment draft via email.

Feedback may include:

structure and argument
style and expression
grammar

Remember:

Students will not be able to interact with advisor during the online feedback session.
Word limit of 2000 words maximum.
We are not able to ‘fix’ or ‘rewrite’ your draft. Instead we will show you how you can learn to do it yourself.
We cannot help you with the subject content nor indicate your mark or grade.
