Customizing the feedback

After clicking the Upload button, you'll be taken to a page that looks like the one shown below. The Writing Feedback+ service doesn’t support prompting, so to receive the most accurate and helpful feedback, you’ll need to provide a few key details about your assignment. This helps the system tailor its response to your specific needs.

Selecting Options

After uploading your document, you’ll be asked to choose one option for each field. These selections help the Writing Feedback+ system understand your assignment and provide more targeted feedback.

Document Progress
Choose the option that best describes the current stage of your work:

• It’s my first draft – You’re just getting started
• Nearly there – You’ve made good progress 
• Almost ready to hand in – You’re close to finalizing 

Doucment Type

Select the type of document you’re submitting (see information below). This helps the system tailor its feedback to the format and purpose of your writing.

Referencing Feedback

Some of the options such as essay will also allow you to choose a referencing sytle for feedback,which should be APA 7th edition.

Reviewing the Feedback

Once you submit your document it will take a few minutes for the feedback to be generated. 

Feedback will be given on the following:

• Critical Thinking
  • Your critical thinking feedback will look at how you have developed and expressed your argument and we will provide suggestions on how you can further demonstrate a deeper understanding of your subject matter. Please note that not all tasks will require the same level of critical thinking so if you’re unsure, talk to your lecturer.
• Structure
  • Your structure feedback refers to how you have organised your text and paragraphs to make your key message easy to read and understand for your reader.
• Language
  • Your choice of language feedback covers how well you have worded your writing for your audience. You will receive feedback on whether your language choice is easy to understand and appropriate for your reader.
• Spelling and Grammar
  • Your spelling and grammar feedback will focus on whether your words are grammatically accurate and spelt correctly, which will have a large impact on how professional your writing appears.
• Use of Sources (only on select submissions)
  • This feedback will cover whether you have included citations and references where necessary and how well you have integrated source material into your argument.

Feedback will NOT be given on the following:

• No curricula-based feedback
• No extensive editing or proofreading
• No research-based help
• No comments on the accuracy of your material
• No checks for plagiarism

Prompting Tips

• Provide responses that are more than one word (the more detailed, the better).

• Focus on one topic at a time. If you want to change the topic, it's best to start a new chat.

• Be specific. Study Assist is asking for details, so that it can provide you with the most relevant information.

If you’re starting:

Instead of: “Tell me about macroeconomics.”

Try: “Can you suggest how I could get started on my macroeconomics essay. My question is: ‘Analyze the impact of policy on inflation and unemployment in a contemporary economy. Discuss the tools used by banks to influence these economic variables, and evaluate the effectiveness of these tools in achieving macroeconomic stability ’.

When you’re chatting:

If Study Assist asks: “Can you tell me what you tried so far?”

Instead of: “Nothing”

Try: “I haven’t started yet, but I know this is an essay and I need to think of some key points.”

Studiosity Interactions

About your interactions

Students have an allocation of 6 Connect Live interactions through during a four month period (January-April, May-August, September-December).

These allocations are adjusted on a rolling basis, which means you can monitor how many of your interactions you have used by checking the "counter" at the bottom on the right-hand side of the Studiosity page.

You can verify both how many interactions you have left, as well as the date at which the next period of usage starts, so you can plan how you will use your interactions over the course of the usage period.

What is an interaction?

Any session with Connect Live is one interaction, even if it doesn't last the full 20 minutes allotted.
