Grammarly

This page is a review of the SMARTStart program regarding your university Grammarly account. Grammarly is an in-browser program you can use to edit documents. If you have questions, please contact us at smartstart@k-state.edu. Grammarly is a good tool to draw your attention to potential writing errors.
Grammarly provides language mechanics and style analysis for writing and editing. We recommend that all Polytechnic students sign up for individual accounts, and use this tool to review and revise written work before submission for grading.
