Assignment feedback before you submit it

Every format has its own job

A report is read differently from an essay. A report usually needs findings that a reader can act on, with recommendations that follow from the analysis. A case study needs you to apply a framework to the case rather than describe the case and the framework side by side. A research paper needs a question, a method and results that answer it.

Students often lose ground on the format rather than the content: an excellent analysis in the body of a report, followed by recommendations that appear from nowhere. Esmond reads for that link.

What the review looks at

Does the opening make clear what the assignment sets out to do?
In a case study: is the framework actually applied, with the case details doing the work?
In a report: do the recommendations follow from the findings, and are they specific?
In a research paper: is the method suited to the question, and are the results interpreted rather than repeated?
Are sources used to support claims, or added at the end of paragraphs as decoration?
Is there material that is correct but does not serve the brief?

How it works

You upload your draft as a PDF. Short documents come back within minutes; a full dissertation takes longer. You get two things back: your own document with comments in the margin, and a separate feedback report that sets out what to tackle first. Every upload starts with a free preview, and the price follows the length of your document and is shown before you pay. No subscription, no account.

Esmond evaluates your work and writes nothing for you. Each comment points to a passage, explains what a supervisor or examiner might question, and gives a direction for revising it. You decide what to change, and every sentence stays yours.

Esmond is preparing its launch in Ireland and is not taking orders here yet. This page explains what the review does, so you know what to expect when it opens.

Group assignments

If you upload a group report, Esmond reads it as one document. That is useful for spotting where sections written by different people do not connect: repeated content, changing terms, or a conclusion that ignores one of the chapters. Agree with your group before you upload a shared document.

Frequently asked questions

Does Esmond know my assignment brief?

Only if it is in your PDF. If you include the brief on the first page, the review reads your work against it. It does not know your marking rubric.
