Your booklist for Fall 2016 sets priorities for the work instructors and students will do. Eli Review can change how they do that work.
Eli Review’s workflow and features turn the classroom into a studio where instructors can see engaged peer learning. Instructors can provide students with more practice, more feedback, more revision, and more coaching. In this case, more equals better—better feedback, better writing, better writers.
