Diagnostic Writing Service (DWS) The Diagnostic Writing Service (DWS) is available for students and teachers to assess current writing skills against college-level expectations. The DWS allows individual students to write an essay in response to an actual EPT essay prompt and to submit the essay via the Internet. A university English Placement Test (EPT) reader uses the scoring rubric of the EPT test and assesses student writing against the standards expected of entering college students. Specific diagnostics statements are provided to the student in a timely manner via the Internet. In addition to an overall assessment of the essay, the diagnostic statements inform the student about the strengths and weaknesses of the student's writing. Students can work independently to improve their writing in response to the diagnostic feedback. The DWS is also intended as a teacher-mediated program that encourages high school teachers to become familiar with college-level expectations for writing, to have access to the relevant diagnostic information for their class as a whole, and to incorporate the DWS and related materials into their curricula.
