What tutoring covers

Help that fits how Penn State World Campus courses are graded: on the scoring guide, criterion by criterion.

Feedback on your draft

Send the draft you wrote and the assignment's scoring guide. A tutor reads it against every criterion and sends back comments on your argument, your sources and your APA 7 formatting, so you know exactly what to revise.

  • 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

Work with a tutor on writing, research and editing: from turning a scoring guide into an outline, to choosing peer-reviewed sources, to polishing your draft line by line yourself.

  • Writing: thesis, outline and structure
  • Research: finding and judging sources
  • Editing: clarity, grammar and APA 7

For management and business papers, tutors focus on the reasoning behind your recommendations and how your sources back them up.

IT students get feedback on project write-ups, requirement documents and technical reports, written for the reader each rubric describes.

Criminal justice students share case briefs and policy papers; tutors comment on legal reasoning and how sources are cited.

Grades and what earns them

Your Penn State World Campus 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

  • Answers every criterion in the rubric, in order
  • A clear thesis carried through each section
  • Current, scholarly evidence for each claim
  • Analysis that applies the evidence to the case
  • Correct APA 7 citations and references

What you'll write

  • Case analyses
  • Strategic plans
  • Business proposals
  • Project plans
  • Requirements documents
  • Technical reports
