Community reviews for Purdue Online Writing Lab

Students are not motivated to look at it all the time, but they know they have to when it comes time to having to list and cite their research. Students across high school and college continue to need this assistance and typing into something like EasyBib is not enough for them to get a works cited and citations 100% correct. Combined with this resource, students will do well; however, they have to be willing to click through and read to find the info. they need.

I liked the fact that the students could access a resource anywhere they go. Learning how to cite sources is difficult. However, this app makes it easy and convenient. The students have no excuses for not doing their work cited page now.

The Purdue OWL offers a comprehensive writing resource for my students. I've used it many times on a personal level, and I love being able to recommend a credible and informative site to my students for issues on commas and citations (and everything in between). The site is easy to navigate, and the content is straightforward and offers examples. Although it's very text heavy and can seem intimidating, students can access the plethora of writing resources easily. Although it's not engaging, it's an excellent online writing handbook, and I prefer this online service over having a hard copy of a writing handbook.
