Use these checklists to check for errors in:
- spelling & grammar
- clarity
- purpose & focus
- style & tone
Congratulations! You've probably just finished writing a paper. Give yourself a pat on the back, and if you haven't done so yet, take a break.
Okay. Now that you've stepped away for a bit, you're ready to revise your paper with fresh eyes. This packet will provide you with a series of checklists to make sure your paper is in the best possible shape.
NOTE: Although tools like Microsoft Word's Track Changes make editing on-screen easier than ever, it's recommended that you print out the paper and edit the old-fashioned way. Unless you're used to editing on a screen, most people tend to scan information and their eyes skip over errors you catch on paper (particularly words that may be spelled correctly, but are the wrong form).
