Paper Reviews
The ASC provides paper reviews. If you are interested in this service, simply email a copy of your paper to ASC@Johnsonu.edu. You will need to tell our office what kind of review you would like (see below) and include the name of course and professor, along with any rubrics and/or assignment descriptions. After submitting a paper, please keep an eye on your email because our office may have additional questions or need to be granted access to view the paper.
**Paper reviews are generally not conducted on weekends. If submitting a paper for review, please allow for adequate time for proofing and revisions before your paper's due date.**
Types of Paper Reviews and Typical Return Times:
Grammar: This is a surface level review that identifies errors such as run-on sentences, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. These reviews are typically returned within 24 hours.
Structure/Format: This review checks to see if your paper is properly formatted in accordance with the various styles associated with academic writing. Also, this may include suggestions as to ways to improve the flow of the paper. These reviews typically take 24 hours, but may require an additional submission.
Content: This is our most comprehensive review and analyzes thesis statements, arguments, and the proper utilization of sources. These reviews often require a specialized coach and may take up to 72 hours for return.
