There are three options that we recommend: The Harvey Center, NetTutor, and TurnItIn.
Option 1: Synchronous help in-person or via Zoom with the Harvey Center for Learning and Writing. The Harvey offers more in-depth help with writing papers and learning to become a better writer - not basic proofreading.
Option 2: RadfordU uses NetTutor, an online tutoring system where students can submit papers to be proofread and checked within 24-48 hours. To submit your paper for proofreading, follow these steps:
- Login to OneCampus and go to your D2L homepage.
- Select Radford University Support from the menu bar.
- Select Net Tutor from the menu.
- In Net Tutor, choose the option for the Online Writing Lab:
- In the Online Writing Lab, choose the option for "Drop off a Paper" and upload your document for review:
- NetTutor should check and proofread your paper within 24 hours.
- To access your paper after it's finished being edited, return to the NetTutor Online Writing Lab and click on "Your Online Writing Lab Locker."
Contact Harvey Center for help or with questions regarding the online resource NetTutor.
Option 3: TurnItIn for automated similarity reports if you have a concern that you accidentally plagiarized. You can submit a paper to the "TurnItIn - Self Check Draft Submissions" D2L module for instant feedback. Enroll in this module via the Discover tab in D2L.
