Supervisors, are you tearing your hair out, trying to get your students to write better?

Use Ezra+, the supervisor’s Deputy Supervisor, from The Research Faculty.

How does Ezra help students write better?

Ezra+ is a suite of writing analysis tools that make recommendations on a university or college student’s grammar, punctuation, and writing style.

Ezra+ does much of the spadework that you normally do for a student, leaving you to concentrate on the bigger issues, like research methodology and narrative thread.

Ezra+ identifies weaknesses in writing that you simply do not have the time to comment on. The result is a better, clearer document.

Please make use of a free trial run of Ezra+. This is a no-charge, no-obligation use of the full product.

Components of Ezra+

Ezra+ reports on the writing style in the document you submit:

  1. The Ezra report (comments on grammar, punctuation, and style)
  2. An acronym analysis report
  3. A sentence-length analysis report
  4. A paragraph-length analysis report
  5. Bullet and numbered list report
  6. Table extraction.

A sample of each report is available on request.

How Ezra works

Students are enrolled for the service for a year at a time.

Enrolled students send their documents (proposals, dissertations, and theses) to The Research Faculty. We produce the Ezra+ reports and send these to the students (CC-ing the supervisor).

Students enrolled for the service are entitled to make use of the service at any time and as many times as they wish.

Students may submit their proposals, first drafts, interim drafts, and final drafts and may submit chapter-by-chapter.

In addition to the reports, the service includes unlimited access to a telephonic helpline for advice on grammar, punctuation, and academic writing style (available SA office hours and Saturday mornings).

Financial aspects

University departments can enrol their students to use Ezra+. Pricing is on a sliding scale (the more students enrolled, the lower the cost per head).
