My Take
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.
How I Use It
I have them look up there sources. They must first identify what type of source they have. Then, they will plug their information into the format. This worked great, and they still had to identify information on their own.

I am familiar with a similar service at the University of Phoenix, which has been in place for approximately 20 years and is highly recommended by PhDs and doctoral candidates. If I had to make a comparison, I would place the University of Phoenix above Purdue University's writing service.

I believe this is an excellent teaching tool. It can be used to teach the entire class, a small group, or during one-on-one instruction. Students can even go home and use this tool on their own as they write their papers. The website is easy to navigate and provides plenty of examples.
