If you’re signed up for an online course for Spring Quarter, stop what you’re doing and go take a close look at your class schedule right now. Does your course have “ONL” as its section code? If so, you’re in a “WAOL” online course, and it’s starting really, really early. In fact, it starts tomorrow, March 27th.
If your online course is section “OL1,” “OL2,” or “OL3,” it won’t start until Tuesday, April 8th with the rest of Whatcom’s Spring Quarter classes.
Hemingway makes your writing bold and clear. http://www.hemingwayapp.com/
Hemingway highlights long, complex sentences and common errors; if you see a yellow highlight, shorten the sentence or split it. If you see a red highlight, your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get lost trying to follow its meandering, splitting logic — try editing this sentence to remove the red.
Adverbs are helpfully shown in blue. Get rid of them and pick verbs with force instead.
You can utilize a shorter word in place of a purple one. Mouse over it for hints.
Phrases in green have been marked to show passive voice.
