Ball State University tutoring

Tutoring for Ball State students: comments on the work you wrote, and guides that make each scoring guide clear before you start.

  • 56programs supported
  • Draft feedbackon work you wrote
  • Writing tutoringresearch and editing

Your work stays yours

You write every word you submit, and your tutor helps you make it stronger. Your school login, your quizzes and your exams stay with you.

Your syllabus and Ball State's academic integrity policy set what outside feedback each course welcomes. A study guide fits every course.

Where a tutor helps

Choose what helps most this week. Either way, the work you hand in is your own.

Feedback on your draft

You write your paper. Upload it with the scoring guide, and a tutor returns written comments: where it meets each criterion, where it falls short, how your structure and evidence hold up, and what to fix in your APA 7 citations. You make the changes.

  • Comments on every scoring guide criterion
  • Structure, evidence and clarity
  • APA 7 citations and references

Study guides

Your program, mapped: the courses ahead, what their scoring guides reward, and a study plan you can follow week by week.

  • Your program's courses, in order
  • What each scoring guide rewards
  • A plan for your next assessments

Writing, research and editing tutoring

Get better at the writing Ball State courses ask for: a clear thesis, a structure that follows the scoring guide, sources you can trust, and editing that catches what you missed.

  • Planning and outlining to the scoring guide
  • Library research and peer-reviewed sources
  • Editing your own draft, line by line

Education students share lesson plans, reflections and curriculum projects, and tutors comment on alignment with the standards each rubric names.

Nursing students send care plans, quality-improvement proposals and evidence summaries; tutors show where each one meets or misses the rubric.

In technology courses, a tutor reviews your design documents and reports for clear reasoning and complete coverage of the criteria.

How Ball State grades your work

Your Ball State grade is built criterion by criterion from the rubric. Your tutor turns that rubric into a checklist you can write to, then reviews your draft against it.

What a top-scoring paper has

  • Covers each rubric criterion fully
  • States its purpose in the first paragraph
  • Backs claims with peer-reviewed sources
  • Explains why the evidence matters
  • Clean APA 7 formatting throughout

What you'll write

  • Lesson plans
  • Unit plans
  • Curriculum projects
  • Care plans
  • PICOT questions
  • Evidence-based practice papers

Before you start

How does draft feedback work?

You share the draft you wrote and its scoring guide. Your tutor marks what already works and what each criterion still needs, and you revise it with those notes.

Can a tutor help me with research?

Yes. Your tutor shows you how to search the Ball State library databases, choose peer-reviewed sources as current as your course requires, and use the evidence in your argument.

Can a tutor help with editing?

Yes. Your tutor marks grammar, clarity, flow and APA 7 issues in your draft and explains each one, so you can fix them and catch them next time.

How does writing tutoring help?

Your tutor works with you on planning and writing Ball State papers: turning the scoring guide into an outline, building each section and citing as you go.

What should I share with my tutor?

Your draft, the assignment instructions and the scoring guide, sent straight to your tutor by text or email. Your Ball State login stays with you.

How do I get a study guide?

Choose A study guide in the form and tell us your Ball State program and course. Your tutor sends the guide and walks you through it.

Who sees my work?

Only your tutor. Your draft and your details stay private.
