PROOFREADING EDITING To improve your grades

• Spelling errors and grammatical mistakes are
  every writers nightmare. As a student, even you
  wouldnt wish for such silly mistakes in your
  essay as it leaves you with poor grades. Editing
  and proofreading are two strong tools to avoid
  such glaring mistakes in your copy and prevent
  your grades from falling.

What is Editing?
4

• Editing is the hall pass that students use to
  perfect their content. In the editing process, a
  writer engages himself in activities like
  rethinking, reviewing the overall structure,
  focusing again on the topic etc. Editing should
  be repeated over and over again until no error is
  found. The basic purpose of editing is to review
  your work and ensure that ideas are apt and
  conveying the message to your readers far more
  effectively.

Make sure the question is answered
accordingly

• Do not initiate the editing process just after
  writing. Take one or two days break in order to
  take your mind away from that topic. Then take it
  up again. Reading aloud is considered the best
  way to detect flaws in your writing. The first
  step of editing is to make sure that you answer
  the essay question correctly. The answer should
  develop through introduction of the idea, the
  development of argument and lastly conclusion.

Keep a check on structure, written expression,
sources and presentation

Keep a check

• When you review your essay structure, look for
  incomplete phrases, sentences, ideas and also
  things which may sound odd or funny. Evaluate
  that the expressions are in the right places and
  they are serving the purpose for which they have
  been used. Examine that the sources are cited
  properly either in the body of the content or in
  a footnote at the end of the content.

Review your presentation Make sure you have
used same font size for the whole content size
spacing and color should be checked too.

What is Proofreading?
10

• Proofreading is mainly examining your text
  carefully to detect and correct typographical
  errors and mistakes in grammar, style and
  spelling. Your work should always be proofread
  before you hand it over to your professors.

11
Do not proofread just after writing it wait for
two or three days

• Your brain will not allow you to search for
  specific kind of errors just after the tiresome
  work of writing a paper. So it is better to take
  a break of one or two days, and then review your
  content. This will definitely help you in
  detecting errors in quick time.

12
Review the content and search for common
errors/mistakes

• The focus should be on the random goofs that may
  have got ignored due to computer error, fatigue,
  carelessness or oversight. Reading slowly will
  help you to detect the silly mistakes that one
  usually does. Review your paper as a reader to
  make necessary alterations.

13
Focus on grammar, spelling and punctuation
mistakes

• Punctuation, grammar and spelling mistakes must
  be corrected as you go through the paper. The
  technique of separating text into separate
  sentences helps you to read every sentence
  carefully. That way it is easier to find
  grammatical errors, spelling and punctuation
  mistakes. If you are working on printed copy, use
  opaque object like a ruler or piece of paper to
  isolate the line.

Pro Tip Try and separate the session of editing
and proofreading.
