Grammarly is a writing support tool that helps with spelling, grammar, punctuation, and concise writing.  It can also make suggestions to improve clarity, adjust your tone, detect plagiarism, and other helpful insights to assist you in all assignments that include a writing component of any size. 

There is an optional generative AI feature designed to help generate and refine ideas, improve writing quality and more. This feature is turned on for NWHSU accounts. Learn more on the Grammarly for Education web page.
