Introducing the Fundamentals of Writing I and II Revision Tool!

The Seminole Community College English Department proudly announces a new tool to assist Fundamentals of Writing I and II students with revision. This tool, accessed through ANGEL, offers assistance in the skill of editing written work. Students are able to submit drafts of their writing assignments through the service. Within 24-48 hours (Monday through Friday), the draft will be returned with errors marked on each line of the student's text. The ANGEL site offers a key to the errors. Each number corresponds to full explanations of the grammar mistake. In addition, students can take the Fundamentals of Writing I Practice Quizzes on-line. ANGEL will grade the quiz and provide specific grammar feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of editing assistance does the Revision Tool provide?

The Revision Tool marks each line of the writing assignment for errors. The errors are keyed 1-10, so your writing assignment has numbers in the margin. Each of those numbers signifies a specific writing error. You can use the Key to Identifying and Correcting Writing Errors to find out what kind of mistake you have made and get guidance on how to fix it.

How do I access the Revision Tool?

The Revision Tool is accessed through ANGEL on the Internet via the address http://ecampus.scc-fl.edu.

What is my ANGEL ID?

Your login ID for ANGEL is the same Login Name that you created for MySCC. However, all ANGEL IDs must be entered in lowercase. ANGEL is case sensitive.

If you registered for classes in person on campus and have not yet created a MySCC account, you must go to https://my.scc-fl.edu and create an account. In order for students to have access to ANGEL, they must have a MySCC username in the system. The ANGEL database for login IDs and passwords is being generated based on the student's MySCC account.

What is my ANGEL Password?

Your password is auto-generated and is reset to the default every semester. Your password is your first and last initial, followed by the six digits of your birth date in the yymmdd format, where yy is the two digit year (don't use the 19 in the 19yy format) mm is the two digit month (Jan.-Sept. months must use a leading 0) dd is the two digit day (1st-9th must use a leading 0). Make sure that there are no spaces between the items and the letters are lowercase. Example: If your name is John Doe and you were born on March 1, 1977 your password would be: jd770301

How do I get started?

Once you have logged on to ANGEL and selected the Revision Tool from the list of courses on the left, click on the Options Buffet. You will find directions for submitting a draft, playing games, and taking practice quizzes. You will send the draft by dropbox through your ANGEL account, and it will be returned to you through that same dropbox within ANGEL.

How often can I use the tool?

You may submit a draft as many times as you like. The tool will not identify every mistake, especially the first time through. After you edit your draft, you can send it through again to see if you edited your mistakes correctly. It takes 24-48 hours (Monday through Friday) to get a draft back. The tool does not guarantee error proof writing! Only your instructor can fully evaluate your writing according to class instructions.
