Mercer OWL
The Online Writing Lab (OWL) is designed to provide Atlanta campus, distance learning, and Regional Academic Center students with convenient access to professional writing tutors. Just as with in-person tutoring, OWL tutors review student submissions, providing helpful feedback to improve student writing. This feedback addresses higher-order concerns like content and organization, as well as lower-order concerns like sentence structure and grammar.
