Overview
The review reads your draft the way a teacher would, against what your teacher asked for: their instructions, their checklist and, where they wrote one, their marking rubric. It tells you what your draft already does well, which requirements it meets, what is still missing, and the one change that would earn the most.
It is a coach, not a ghost-writer. It describes what is missing and how to earn it; it never writes sentences for you to paste in. Your teacher sees that you used it, never what you wrote.
On a project or essay
- Open the assignment from My Courses → All Assignments, or from its notification. The Assignment helper sits above your answer box.
- Write your answer in the Text answer box, or add photos of paper pages in the Review step.
- Open Review and press Review my draft.
- Fix what it points out, then review again. You get four reviews per assignment.
- Before handing in, the Submit step checks your requirements, the length and your files.
The helper's other steps help before you write: Understand turns the task into a checklist, Plan spreads the work over the days you have, and Get started gives you the key terms, the questions to research and chapters to read first.
On a homework answer
On a short or long homework question, press Review my draft under your answer. It reads what you've written so far and tells you what a full-marks answer still needs. Plan my answer, beside it, gives you the points to cover, as questions to answer in your own words. You get three reviews per question. Your teacher decides whether the homework helper is on; see Homework help.
Reading your feedback
- Ticked items are what your draft already does, or requirements it already meets. Keep them.
- Items marked + are what's missing, each with how to earn it. Work on these.
- Do this next is the single change that would earn the most. Start there.
Tips
- Tick your checklist as you go. The review and the last check before submitting both use it.
- Review a full rough draft, not half a polished one: it can only tell you what's missing from what's there.
- The review is not your grade. Your teacher marks your work.
Limits
- On an assignment, a review reads about 12,000 characters of text, or up to four photos of pages. On homework, it reads your typed answer and the photos you've added to it.
- It does not check plagiarism or whether your sources are accurate.
- Photos you add in an assignment's Review step are looked at once and not stored.
- For students under 18, it works once a parent has allowed AI help, where your school asks for that.
