Should Universities Regulate AI Writing Tools?

Universities should adopt clear AI-use policies rather than blanket bans, because prohibition drives misuse underground while transparent guidelines teach ethical collaboration.

How to Use Your Essay Score

A rubric score is most useful when you treat it as a revision checklist—not a final verdict. Use Yomu between drafts to see which dimension moved and what to fix next.

  • Grade your draft before the final due date, not after
  • Focus on your lowest-scoring dimension first
  • Revise thesis and outline before polishing grammar
  • Use feedback as coaching—not a guarantee of instructor grades
  • Re-grade after major revisions to track improvement
  • Pair scores with Yomu outline and thesis tools for faster fixes

Typical revision order

    Thesis & structure

    Fix argument before sentences

  2. 2

    Evidence & clarity

    Support claims; simplify wording

  3. 3

    Flow & grammar
