New Writing Assessment for all Learners

Academic writing is viewed as a process at Capella, and the Capella Writing Center now offers a tool to help writers assess where they stand in terms of Capella’s expectations for academic writing.  This tool, the Personal Writing Assessment (PWA), can be accessed through www.capellawritingcenter.org –the third link under ‘resources.’ This assessment poses questions about the 11 main categories of the Capella writing process. Upon answering each question, users are provided with the correct answers and the resources in the Capella Writing Center that address each writing skill set. Users can also print out a transcript of the PWA, and users can take the PWA as many times as they like.

This tool is a great way for writers to check their ‘academic writing pulse’ and to explore the great resources in the Writing Center
