I wonder wich staff groups histery papers’ inspired the psoting of this video?
Yours Mark!
Ok, so seriously now. How many of you don’t care to proofread? Go ahead, you can raise your hand; nobody is going to call on you to explain your position.
Proofreading is a hassle. You have just spent hours writing your paper; your thoughts have mentally culminated; and now you have to check to see if your work is fine. Isn’t it good enough that MS Word already does the spell checking?
Proofreading is important because if your work is filled with obstacles, then your message cannot clearly be understood. So here are a couple of proofreading tips that work for me.
1. Have someone else read it.
2. Read your paper printed out on paper.
3. Read your paper aloud.
4. Read your paper from the end.
5. Realize that proper proofreading, editing and rewriting can take as much time (or longer) as your initial writing… so plan accordingly.
