What to Expect in a Paper Review
We provide constructive feedback on topics like:
- Clarity
- Organization and paragraphing
- Effective integration of evidence
- Cohesion and flow
- Scholarly voice and grammar
- APA style
We typically focus on just a few topics or patterns to provide a helpful and manageable quantity of feedback.
Paper Reviews ARE
- For students working on coursework including discussion posts, course papers, master’s capstones, and the doctoral premise and prospectus
- Individualized feedback from a writing professional
- Focused on skill building and instruction based on patterns in a student’s draft
- Written feedback: There is no phone call or online meeting time
- An optional, supplementary service available to Walden students at no additional cost
Paper Reviews ARE NOT
- For proofreading or editing (try Grammarly and these Proofreading Strategies)
- For specific writing or APA questions; for those, you can Ask OASIS
- For students working on doctoral capstone drafts beyond the prospectus
- Connected to a university approval process
