Free Essay Help for Students: Feedback as a Social Experience

In time for college admissions, a new website, Preppa.com, is taking a new approach to essay peer reviews. Students will be able to post essays online and share them with the community, and the community can give feedback to the essays in one place.

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 27, 2009 - Before, students had limited options for people who could provide essay feedback: their teachers or their peers. But what happens when their teacher or their peers are not immediately available? Enter http://preppa.com. Students can submit their essays online and choose to make their essays public or unlisted. If they post their essay publicly, their essay is viewable by the entire community. An option to post anonymously is also available.  If students make their essay unlisted, they can share the private URL of the essay with only their friends. They can also share their essay via their favorite social networking sites or by email.

Preppa gives users the power to encourage quality feedback for their essays. All registered users can rate feedback comments up or down depending on how helpful the feedback was. In addition, the original author of the essay can choose which was the "Best Feedback" in order to give recognition to a user for quality, constructive comments. With these tools, users can receive feedback on essays while letting the community know what is helpful and what is not.

"The web has such an amazing ability to connect those needing information with those who can provide it, no matter the physical distance. We want to take that ability and apply it to those needing essay help," said Lionel Nicolau, co-founder of the site. "Students don't always have immediate access to quality advice when it comes to essays, but with Preppa.com, now they do."

Lionel also stated that essay help was just the beginning for Preppa. "What we've learned from Wikipedia and so many other mass collaboration sites is that people are willing to help one another as long as they have the right tools. We're starting with essay help, but there are definitely many more possibilities that we are planning to take on in the near future."
