Writing Practice Exercises

Writing Practice exercises provide you with an immediate, automated assessment and feedback to your writing submission. You select an exercise, write an essay, and submit the essay for feedback. The automated feedback includes:

An overall score from 0 to 6
Individual feedback and scores for the writing traits (organization, ideas, conventions, sentence fluency, word choice, and voice)
Possible spelling errors
Grammatical errors

The MyLab saves the feedback as part of the exercise's draft history, so you can access it at any time.

The Writing Practice exercises are on the Writing Practice tab in the Study Plan. Depending on how your instructor set up the course, you may or may not have this tab (and the exercises) in your course's Study Plan. The Writing Practice exercises are always available if you are working on your own in the MyLab.

Along with enabling the Writing Practice exercises, your instructor also sets the number of drafts you can submit for each exercise. If you are working on your own in the MyLab, you can submit up to three drafts for each exercise.
