Marking an English essay

I'm studying an English degree and I have my first assignment due in November. I need to make sure I'm getting above 80% as I need a first class and wanted to know the best way to get my essay reviewed/marked before I hand it in

You can either get a friend from your course to give you their opinion or pay for a private tutor to look at your essay. Some university lecturers will let you send a draft to them but the rules on this varies by university.

If none of these options are available, you could use an AI program for suggestions for how to improve.

Get someone to proof read it.

Hi,
I would recommend speaking to your lecturer for this subject, or your academic tutor as they may be able to offer some support. Beyond this, you can always look at an example paper or ask someone who has taken this class before to look over it and give you some general advice.

Hope this helps! Faye 🙂
