Grammarly Premium
The Division of Graduate Studies subscribes to Grammarly Premium, providing 400+ points of grammar checking, a built-in plagiarism checker, and learning management system (LMS) integration.
Premium Features
- Checks grammar, spelling, punctuation, word choice, and style mistakes in writing. You can upload documents, drag and paste, or write directly into a document on the site, and it works in most online text boxes, such as emails.
- The Grammarly add-in allows you to use Grammarly while you’re writing Word documents.
- Grammarly’s red underlining is easy to see and clearly marks where the error is, and it is easy to dismiss the advice.
- Grammarly lets you select American or British English, and you can select a writing genre, useful for writing in different voices for different audiences.
- It works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
- Plagiarism Checker: Especially useful for teaching assistants and fellows, this feature can be turned on with a toggle on the home page.
