Writing Feedback Tool
Capella faculty use the Writing Feedback Tool to provide learners with supplemental writing feedback and information about writing resources to develop Writing Skills.
The Writing Feedback Tool facilitates assessment of five core writing skills, aligned to Capella’s Writing Standards. These writing skills are known as the POETS writing skills.
Within your courses or related to specific assignments, you may have seen these five Writing Skills in the Writing Feedback Tool. You can use the information you receive from the tool to create a study plan and work towards your writing goals. Developing these five Writing Skills are important to your success.
