Draft Coach

Turnitin Draft Coach helps students improve their academic writing and research skills by providing instant feedback including correcting grammar, checking for similarity, and improving citations.

• Grammar:  Draft Coach highlights grammar mistakes and provides explanations to help students edit and deepen their understanding.
• Similarity:  Students access Similarity Reports  to ensure proper research and understand where to revise their writing prior to final submission.
• Citations:  Students give credit where credit is due by using Draft Coach to find any missing references and citations.

Draft Coach can be accessed using Microsoft Word on the web through Office 365 at EIU.
