"Finding ways to meet the individual needs of our diverse student body has been challenging as our MBA learners come from many disciplines (mostly non-business) and have vastly different familiarity with formal writing. Students struggle with the basics of APA formatting and research, and [Write & Cite] provides them with an easily accessible tool for reference and improvement."
