Grammarly Editor User Guide
When using the Grammarly Editor, you may notice a numerical performance score out of 100. This score represents the quantity and scope of suggestions from Grammarly, and it may help writers think about the readability of their work. The more you edit and revise, the more your score will increase. This score should not be equated with a grade or rubric score, as it does not take into account aspects of the writing beyond sentence-level clarity and style. Check out Grammarly’s blog post on How to Use Readability Scores in Your Writing for more.
If you prefer to use Grammarly where you write, you can download one of the apps for Windows, Mac, or other devices: Grammarly’s product offerings.
While Grammarly offers suggestions for different writing styles (e.g., academic, casual, and business writing), it may not provide guidance on style consistent with the APA publication manual. If you need to closely follow APA Style for your Walden writing, see the OASIS webpages on APA Guidelines or refer to the APA manual or the APA Style website.
