Here is an overview of some of the writing assistance software in the College Writing Center. This program guides the user through a variety of writing processes. For each selection in the program, you are presented a series of questions which guide you in developing content. Your responses are printed or saved on disk and help you formulate, develop and revise a composition. Writing Coach is available in both Mac and Word Perfect 5.1 DOS formats.
Editor is used with writing stored on a disk and is compatible with most word processing programs.
Your document is separated into its individual sentences, which are numbered. The diagnosis flags possible problems and explains the error, but does not offer solutions. Here you will find user-friendly drill exercises which teach correct punctuation and grammar. The program provides rules and examples for a number of common sentence problems, then presents paragraphs in which the problems occur. You mark the errors and correct them.
