Editing

Editing is crucial! You need to learn to read your own writing with a critical look and make appropriate changes.

Many students tell us they do not know what to look for in their own writing. This is a skill you have to develop. A good way to start is to look at your friends' writing and make comments.

Remember to use your spelling checker. You can add words to the spelling checker dictionary. Don't forget to add the words you need, e.g., technical words, author's names, place names and acronyms, so that they will be spelled correctly and consistently.

Try this task to practice editing and proofreading.

 

Before you continue, consider this question. You can now start working on Quality of sources.
