What types of feedback do students receive?
Students receive several types of feedback on their essays, including a holistic score and an analytic assessment in each of five different writing traits: content and development; focus and organization; effective sentences; word choice; and grammar, usage, and mechanics. Holt Online Essay Scoring also provides level-specific writing activities to help students revise their writing, interactive model essays for each writing prompt, and special advisories to alert teachers and students to highly unusual writing styles.
