Literatu

Many students do not write at the frequency and level universities expect, nor have they experienced what is required from a university assessment.

Getting better at writing simply takes time, practice and feedback. The more students write, the more feedback they want. When feedback relies on people, the response loop naturally slows along with student learning and motivation.

Scribo gives students a full analysis of their writing in seconds, across 10 levels of important analysis
