style and ensure clarity and flow in their writing, though its grammar checking is less
comprehensive than Grammarly's (Fitria, T.N., 2023).
Hemingway Editor
Features: Hemingway focuses on readability and sentence structure, highlighting complex
sentences, use of passive voice, adverbs, and hard-to-read sentences. It is less focused on
grammar and more on making writing bold and clear (Hemingway Editor, s.f.).
P á g i n a 660
Revista Científica y Académica. Vol. 4, No. 2, Abril, Junio Año 2024
Effectiveness: Hemingway is effective for making writing concise and easy to read. It is
particularly good at encouraging more assertive and direct writing, though it lacks the depth in
grammar and style suggestions compared to Grammarly and ProWritingAid. The free version of
this tool offers a trial period and includes features such as word, character, sentence, paragraph,
and letter count. It's particularly useful for short writing pieces like blog posts, articles, and short
stories. Additionally, it tracks reading time and provides a readability scale using a grade-level
system. The app sets limits on adverb usage based on the length of your writing and highlights
passive voice. It also evaluates sentence structure and identifies sentences that are challenging
to read, encouraging clear and concise writing. You can easily transfer your text into the app and
switch between your manuscript as needed. If you find it beneficial and choose to purchase it,
the cost is $19.99 for either Windows or Mac. On the other hand, the application lacks the
capability to detect spelling or punctuation mistakes and does not integrate seamlessly with
Microsoft Word or Outlook as Grammarly does. It is less suitable for longer writing projects such
as novels or novellas. Additionally, it does not provide formatting or organizational suggestions,
which are features found in other applications (Ward, 2023).
Suitability for Thesis Writing: While helpful for refining sentence structure and improving
readability (Ward, 2023), Hemingway’s lack of advanced grammatical feedback makes it less
suitable as a standalone tool for thesis writing. It is best used in conjunction with a more
comprehensive tool like Grammarly.
In conclusion, while all three tools offer valuable features for improving writing, Grammarly
stands out in terms of comprehensive grammatical feedback and suitability for academic
environments, particularly for thesis writing. ProWritingAid and Hemingway provide excellent
complementary benefits that can enhance clarity and style but may require pairing with a more
robust grammar checker for best results in thesis writing contexts.

Experience and Role of Thesis Supervisor
Contextualization
This article explores the changing terrain of thesis composition, especially the adoption of
sophisticated grammar checkers such as Grammarly. Yet, a pivotal element underpinning thesis
supervision is the experience and role of the thesis advisor. Within this framework, it is essential
to examine how differences in the experience levels of thesis supervisors may influence their
research methodologies and the incorporation of technological tools in the evaluation process.
Experience and Role of Thesis Supervisor
The interviewees have varied levels of experience in thesis supervision, with one having 10 years
and the others 20 years of experience. This variation in experience might influence their research
approaches and the adoption of technological tools in grading, although it is not certain that
more years in the field always translate to better expertise. Experience in research can be
pivotal, as noted by some scholars like Dougiamas (2024), who highlight the importance of
technological tools in streamlining the review and grading processes. However, experience does
not derive solely from years spent in the field but also from the volume of theses supervised.
The interviewed thesis advisors reported supervising 4, 20, and 42 theses respectively, indicating
different levels of direct engagement with thesis projects since they began their roles. An advisor
who has supervised only four theses might be considered less experienced in thesis direction,
while one who has supervised 42 theses would be seen as highly experienced, having directed
more than 20 theses. An advisor with 20 supervisions represents a moderate experience level.
These variances highlight the diverse experience levels among thesis advisors, which could
significantly shape their perceptions and methods of guiding students in thesis writing. Thesis
supervision is crucial for the development of researchers, and as Alvarez-Gayou (2018) points
out, seasoned researchers often emphasize mentoring and leading young researchers within
their disciplines, sometimes taking on pivotal roles in research teams to foster scientific
advancement in their fields.

Thesis review process
The article examines the adoption of advanced technologies, specifically sophisticated grammar
checkers such as Grammarly, within the thesis writing process. Prior to delving into the utility of
these tools, it is essential to comprehend the dynamics and challenges that accompany the
review and evaluation of theses. This initial discussion explores the various methodologies and
realities encountered by thesis supervisors during the review of student theses, highlighting the
time devoted to revisions and the application of evaluative tools like rubrics.
The responses from thesis supervisors regarding the time allocated to revising student theses
vary significantly:
• Up to Four Hours: This response suggests a preference for setting definitive time limits
for thesis revisions, indicating a highly efficient organizational system that facilitates
effective time management.
• Contingent on Workload and Availability: This approach indicates that the time
dedicated to thesis revisions may fluctuate based on the supervisor's other
commitments and responsibilities, necessitating flexible scheduling.
• Dependent on Thesis Quality and Student Effort: This perspective considers the quality
of the thesis and the effort put forth by the student as major determinants of the
required revision time. Theses that are well-prepared and adhere to guidelines are
typically quicker to review than those lacking in quality.
Interviewee 3 notes that reviewing theses is particularly time-consuming when students have
not fully understood or conscientiously engaged with their work, with the revision time being
more dependent on the student's input than on the supervisor's capacity (personal
communication, April 1, 2024).
These insights reveal that the time spent on thesis revisions can vary based on factors like
organizational skills, time availability, the quality of student submissions, and the supervisor's
efficiency in managing time. Experienced thesis supervisors often develop strategies for
P á g i n a 667
Revista Científica y Académica. Vol. 4, No. 2, Abril, Junio Año 2024
managing their review time effectively and guiding students towards producing high-quality

can reduce the burden of manual grading, freeing up educators to focus more on research and
professional development (Chui, 2022).
Regarding the use of evaluative tools, responses illustrate different approaches taken by thesis
supervisors:
• Using a Rubric: According to one response, some supervisors use faculty-provided
rubrics that outline specific criteria for each thesis chapter, ensuring students meet their
objectives (Interviewee 1, personal communication, March 9, 2024).
• No Specific Rubric: Another response indicates that some supervisors do not employ a
predefined rubric, possibly relying more on subjective judgment or an alternative
evaluative approach.
• Using a Checklist: Differing from rubrics, another supervisor opts for a checklist to assess
various thesis components, offering a potentially more comprehensive and flexible
evaluation framework.
The application of rubrics or checklists ensures a consistent and thorough evaluation of theses,

Knowledge and experience with advanced grammar checkers
Prior to exploring the role of such tools, it is crucial to comprehend the experiences and practices
of thesis supervisors with respect to thesis review and evaluation. This preliminary section offers
an exhaustive overview of the varied approaches and perceptions among thesis supervisors,
laying the groundwork for the discussion on the integration of advanced grammar checkers in
thesis supervision.
Use of Grammarly in Thesis Supervision
Insights from three distinct respondents provide valuable perspectives on the adoption of
advanced grammar checkers, particularly Grammarly, in thesis supervision. While one
respondent recognizes the effectiveness of Grammarly, another notes a lack of familiarity with
such tools, indicating potential gaps in their expertise. Conversely, an experienced respondent
acknowledges the utility of Grammarly but voices concerns regarding its possible effects on the
development of students' writing skills. These views highlight the complex attitudes towards the
use of advanced grammar checkers in thesis supervision and emphasize the need to balance
their benefits with the autonomous development of students' writing abilities.
Moreover, it is essential to consider educators' views on the use of advanced grammar checkers.
Some support their integration to streamline grading processes and improve writing quality
(Lipalam et al., 2023), while others caution against excessive reliance on these tools, advocating
for traditional methods and direct feedback to foster long-term skills development. This
dichotomy highlights the importance for educators to critically assess the impact of advanced
grammar checkers in educational practices and find a middle ground between utilizing
technology and nurturing students' writing capabilities.
Perspectives on Advanced Grammar Checkers
The experiences shared by two respondents illustrate diverse opinions on the utility and
limitations of advanced grammar checkers. One respondent praises the tools for their error

Revista Científica y Académica. Vol. 4, No. 2, Abril, Junio Año 2024
pitfalls, such as context-insensitive corrections altering the intended meaning of texts. On the
other hand, another respondent appreciates the convenience and immediate assistance
provided by these tools but stresses the importance of critically evaluating their suggestions.
These varied perspectives underscore the complexities of integrating advanced grammar
checkers into the writing process and the necessity for educators to judiciously manage their
use (Jelita et al., 2023).
Interviewees note that grammar checkers offer detailed feedback, helping students identify and
correct their own mistakes, thereby boosting their confidence in writing. However, the
automatic correction of grammar and coherence errors by these tools also raises ethical
considerations (Chui, 2022).
Grammar checkers significantly enhance thesis clarity by correcting linguistic errors, improving
readability, ensuring language consistency, and enhancing text organization. They contribute to
clarifying students' thesis presentations by addressing various linguistic and stylistic issues that
could affect comprehension (Interviewee 3, personal communication, April 1, 2024).
Premium vs. Basic Version of Grammarly
The difference between Grammarly’s basic and premium versions is a crucial consideration for
educators. While the basic version covers fundamental error correction, the premium version
offers advanced features like enhanced grammar checks, vocabulary enhancements, and
plagiarism detection. Educators must carefully choose the premium version, considering cost
and the specific needs of their students, to align technology use with educational goals and
resource constraints (Herrera & Mendoza, 2017).
Aspects Evaluated by Grammar Checkers
Responses highlight the wide range of elements assessed by grammar checkers, from grammar
and syntax to style, coherence, and vocabulary. These insights reveal the extensive evaluation
capabilities of grammar checkers and their role in improving the quality and effectiveness of
written content. Nonetheless, it is critical to recognize the limitations inherent in AI-driven
P á g i n a 670
Revista Científica y Académica. Vol. 4, No. 2, Abril, Junio Año 2024
grammar checkers and the need for users to remain vigilant about potential inaccuracies or
contextual errors in automatic corrections (Creely, 2023).
Integrating advanced grammar checkers into thesis supervision provides numerous advantages,
such as streamlining the grading process, enhancing writing quality, and offering timely
feedback. However, educators must carefully navigate the adoption of these tools, considering
their impact on students’ writing skill development, the differences between basic and premium
versions, and the comprehensive evaluation capabilities of grammar checkers. By balancing the
use of technology with the independent development of students' writing skills, educators can
fully utilize advanced grammar checkers to effectively enhance the thesis writing process.
Impact of Advanced Grammar Checkers on Thesis Writing Quality
Advantages and Challenges of Advanced Grammar Checkers in Thesis Preparation
Advanced grammar checkers are instrumental in providing essential feedback for thesis writing,
as noted by a seasoned expert:
These tools offer significant benefits in thesis preparation, including enhanced writing
quality, increased efficiency, improved clarity and consistency, and beneficial learning
experiences. However, they also pose risks such as dependency, inaccuracies, limited
contextual comprehension, scope constraints, and associated costs. Consequently,
while these tools are advantageous for thesis writing, it is recommended that students
use them with discretion and in combination with traditional editing practices to
maintain the highest standard of their work. A primary concern for educators is the
potential for these tools to impede the development of students' writing skills and to
foster an overreliance on technological assistance (Interviewee 3, personal
communication, April 1, 2024).
Expanding on these observations, the analysis explores various viewpoints on the impact of
advanced grammar checkers on the quality of university thesis writing. These tools are praised

P á g i n a 671
Revista Científica y Académica. Vol. 4, No. 2, Abril, Junio Año 2024
yet they also bring potential drawbacks such as dependence and limited contextual
understanding. The benefits and drawbacks of these tools are thoroughly documented in
scholarly literature.
Zinkevich, N. & Ledeneva, T. (2021) assert that tools like Grammarly can significantly improve
the writing quality of university students by providing instant feedback on grammatical issues
and offering suggestions for stylistic and clarity enhancements. However, they also warn of the
risk that students may become overly reliant on these tools, which could impede their
comprehensive development as writers.
Furthermore, Cavaleri, M., & Dianati, S. (2016) observe that advanced grammar checkers can
expedite the writing review process for both students and educators, thereby saving valuable
time. Yet, they also highlight the critical need for human oversight to ensure textual coherence
and contextual accuracy.
In summary, while advanced grammar checkers present considerable benefits for thesis writing,
including improved writing quality and efficiency, it is vital for both students and educators to
strategically use these tools in conjunction with conventional editing techniques. This balanced
approach safeguards the integrity and clarity of academic writing, allowing students not only to
correct mistakes but also to refine their writing abilities (Zinkevich, N. & Ledeneva, T., 2021 and
Cavaleri, M., & Dianati, S., 2016).
CONCLUSIONS
In the current academic environment, the incorporation of artificial intelligence through tools
like advanced grammar checkers significantly impacts the thesis writing process for university
students. These technologies, exemplified by Grammarly, offer substantial benefits by
enhancing writing quality, ensuring textual consistency, and saving valuable time that can be

Revista Científica y Académica. Vol. 4, No. 2, Abril, Junio Año 2024
Advanced grammar checkers serve as educational aids that not only reinforce grammar rules
and enhance punctuation precision but also elevate the overall quality of written work. These
tools allow students to present clearer, more coherent theses capable of withstanding rigorous
academic scrutiny. Additionally, they provide immediate feedback, which is invaluable in an
academic setting where timely submissions are crucial. This instant feedback enables students
to make continuous improvements to their texts, thereby progressively honing their writing
skills (AIContentfy team, 2023).
However, the use of these technologies also presents challenges. A significant concern is the
potential dependency they could foster among students, potentially leading them to rely too
heavily on automated corrections rather than developing their own critical editing skills. This
dependency could undermine the educational goal of fostering independent thinkers and skilled
writers (Aqua, 2023). Moreover, these tools sometimes generate false positives and may not
fully grasp the context or nuance within academic writing, which could lead to
misunderstandings and potentially compromise the integrity of a thesis if not properly managed.
To counter these risks, it is crucial for educators to advocate for a balanced approach to the use
of technology in academic writing. Instruction should include the integration of grammar
checkers as part of a comprehensive set of writing strategies that encompass traditional
proofreading and peer reviews. This approach encourages students to view these tools as
supplementary rather than primary solutions to writing challenges. By developing curricula that
incorporate both technological and conventional editing methodologies, educators can prepare
students to effectively navigate the complex landscape of academic writing (Aqua, 2023).
Furthermore, promoting a culture of meticulous self-editing and regular peer feedback sessions
can help mitigate the risk of over-reliance on grammar checkers. These practices enhance
students' writing proficiency and foster critical thinking skills as they learn to assess and refine
both their own work and that of their peers. Such a holistic approach ensures that the use of
