The Flow of Drafts Between You and the Instructor

A topic's Write exercise is an exchange of drafts between you and the instructor:

You write a draft and submit it to the instructor.
The instructor reviews the draft, provides feedback and comments, enters a temporary grade, and sends the draft back to you.
You review the comments, revise the draft, and submit it again.
Steps 2 and 3 repeat until either the instructor gives you a final grade or you exhaust the maximum number of drafts allowed. (The instructor sets the maximum number of drafts allowed.)

Depending on how your instructor set up your course, you may also be able to submit drafts of Writing Practice exercises to your instructor for review. If this is the case, the MyLab displays the same links and icons for these drafts as it does for Write Exercises.

The Study Plan uses the following icons and terms to help you track the status of your drafts:

When you submit a draft, the MyLab displays the Submitted link for the topic's Write exercise. Clicking this link displays the submitted draft, but you cannot revise it.
After the instructor reviews, grades, and submits the draft back to you, the MyLab displays the Rewrite button for the Write exercise. Click this button to review the comments and revise your draft.
When the MyLab displays Completed instead of a button or link, the exercise is finished. You can click its score to review the draft history.
In the Study Plan, the submitted icon indicates that you have submitted a draft to the instructor.
Also in the Study Plan, the reviewed icon indicates that the instructor has submitted review comments and a grade to you.
Click the topic's link to open the topic. Then click the Write exercise's Rewrite button. The MyLab opens the draft and displays a View Draft History button (above the text box). Click this button to view the instructor's comments.
Update your draft and click the Submit button to send the rewrite to the instructor.
The View Draft History window displays a full history of the Write exercise, both your drafts and the instructor's comments.
