    I think it is great that we have Writepoint as a tool for or college papers. Writpoint points out and recognizes errors that are most commonly made. I really like how this tool suggests comments and possible changes to the paper whether it is toward grammar and style. When I received my feedback from Writepoint on my Effective Persuasion paper I notice that there can be correction made to it. Taking in the comments and suggestions now will better my writing in the future. The first mistake starts in the beginning on my paragraph. I am not aware when I am writing in a passive voice. That is something I need to work on to make sure my writing is not tedious to read. I also have a bad habit of dividing two-part verbs and I use the word definitely too often. I need to watch out for using the same words and phrases excessively. I do not want my audience to get bored with my writing. By using a bit more of my vocabulary I can keep my essay entertaining and this may help persuade my readers…

    In this article (The effects of focused and unfocused written corrective feedback in an English as a foreign language context) there are many different opinions regarding the efficacy of written corrective feedback.

While Ferris disputed his claim, she said if the correction was clear it would work.…
