SUBMIT A PAPER FOR REVIEW

Would you like to have an assignment reviewed by our team of Academic Specialists before you submit for grading? 

Simply email your paper to [email protected]. Send your paper as an attached Word (.doc or .docx) document. We will review your paper and provide feedback on grammar, usage, clarity, and APA Style. (We cannot, however, provide commentary on whether or not you met the assignment requirements or determine what grade you would receive.) We aim to return all paper reviews within 24 hours of receipt; we recommend allowing for 48 hours during periods of heavy traffic, such as weekends, finals week, and holidays.

Frequently Asked Questions

APA & Writing

  • Where can I find an APA Style 7th Edition template?

    We recommend always using a template for your written assignments. Download this Post University “APA 7th Edition Template ” and save to your computer to use on all future assignments.

  • How do I create an outline for a paper?

    Outlines are an incredibly useful tool when beginning a paper. It helps organize your ideas and creates a roadmap for you as you begin to write. View our “How to Create an Outline ” instructional.

  • How do I start an assignment?

    Often, the biggest challenge to writing a paper is knowing where to start. We recommend using our “Understanding the Assignment and Rubric ” instructional.

  • Why do I need to know APA?

    There are many reasons academic instituions like Post University require the use of a style guide such as the one provided by the American Psychological Association (APA). One main reason is to ensure that students have basic formatting rules in place to help them get started when writing a paper. However, another important reason for APA is to ensure students are giving credit to other authors and organizations if they borrow their work. Not providing this recognition and trying to pass off another's credit as one's own is considered academic dishonesty.

    Throughout your course, you will be asked to participate in weekly discussion boards. For help on how to contribute to the discussion, see this "Create a Discussion Board " guide.
