Editing & Writing Comments Overview

Editing Comments

The Editing section is designed to be one of the four sections that a reviewer interacts while reviewing a written work. This section is identical throughout all versions of the product with the exception of specific references to style guides. It is intended to cover both basic editing instructions (e.g., Editing menu) and some overarching writing rules (e.g., Avoid menu). It also includes the custom commenting function where users can create a large number of their own comments and menus (i.e., Comment menu). This section provides a wide array of comments and feedback dealing with copy-editing, fonts and capitalization, spacing, and positive feedback.

Words-Verbs-Subjects Comments

The Words-Verbs-Subjects section features dozens of comments focused on commonly misspelled or misused words, problems with grammar, and other to-be-avoided issues that frequently appear in student writing.

Sentences and Paragraphs Comments

The Sentences and Paragraphs section features dozens of comments focused on problems with sentences and paragraphs, and other to-be-avoided issues that frequently appear in student writing.

Types of Writing Comments

The Types of Writing section provides comments which can help guide students in writing specific types of paragraphs. This section includes comments targeting the components of each type of paragraph that a student may be required to utilize.
