10. What is task- and field-specific writing feedback?

The CorrectEnglish™ product line was built on the philosophy that writing is communication for specific purposes that differ across the various professions and fields of study. By targeting the tasks and styles unique to each field, each CorrectEnglish™ product offers the most specific tips and instruction possible, whether you are writing a biology lab report or a thank you letter.
Simply select the task you are working on from your product's task list, and CorrectEnglish™ breaks down its particular style, development, and format into simple tips and models to guide your writing and revision. CorrectEnglish™ offers instruction in three formats: an overview of the task's purpose and content, style, and organization requirements; an annotated model so you can see how your final copy should look and why; and a checklist so you can easily review your writing for key elements and information. Generic writing instruction cannot compare to the level of detail and ease-of-use that our task-specific writing feedback offers.

11. What if I need to write an assignment or task that's not on my product list?

CorrectEnglish™ includes a Basics package in every edition that covers general guidelines for writing formal essays and American business communications. These tips and instruction will help you check your writing for core elements and common areas of revision.
Plus, CorrectEnglish™ writing instruction is always expanding, and we welcome your suggestions to make our products more useful. Write us a note* suggesting a new instructional module, and you may just see it appear on your product's task list before your assignment is due! We cannot guarantee that suggested modules will become available, but we appreciate and encourage your input.
* Upon purchase of a CorrectEnglish™ product, you will receive contact information for support and suggestions.
