How Annotate PRO Helps You Be a Better Teacher
Libraries of Expert Feedback
AP features a growing selection of expertly crafted comment libraries that you can use as-is or personalize further. Our content covers academic writing, presentation skills, discussion board moderation, legal writing and more. Some of our libraries are free to use and some require a subscription (gaining access to AP’s premium features at the same time). Why reinvent the wheel?
