_Plagiarism Checker_
This utility promotes originality in student work, improves student writing and research skills, encourages collaborative learning, and saves valuable instructor time. Plagiarism Checker instantly identifies papers containing unoriginal material.
_WritePoint_
The WritePoint Automated Review system is a new service available to all University of Phoenix students in any program. WritePoint provides feedback on basic grammar, usage, and some formatting issues by inserting comments into the text of your paper. Generally, a paper can be processed within a matter of minutes.
_Tutor Review_
The Tutor Review service is available for all University of Phoenix students in any program. By uploading your course-assigned written materials for review, you will receive detailed feedback on how you can improve your academic papers and your writing style in general. The feedback will focus on format, grammar, organization, punctuation, and usage, but not course content. Content feedback is the responsibility of your individual course instructor.
Please remember that we are not an editing service. We generally point out an error only the first time it appears, and we review only the first four to five pages of a given paper. Also, we can only review a paper one time, so please do not submit your first draft for review. It is important to note that your instructor has the final decision regarding the style and format of your paper. When the comments of a lab reviewer differ from those of your instructor, your instructor's requirements will prevail.Rate this question:
