Can I create an individual account?
Yes. Accounts will be available on a individual or classroom basis.
🎯 How does accuracy checking work?
Our format checking tools work much like plagiarism or grammar checkers. Our team works around the clock teaching a program the difference between correct and incorrect citations. It’s almost as if the program is reading off a massive checklist looking for possible mistakes. It will let your students know anytime they make a mistake, and show them how to correct it.
