Proofreading: Difference between revisions

When proofreading be sure to also pay attention to the content. Check for clarity, organization, variation of sentence structure and word choice. Check that your document to make sure your tense stays the same throughout (past, first-person, present). Also pay close attention to the way the document looks (margins and fonts).  

It does not hurt to reread your document many times looking for errors and ways to improve it. It is easy to look over an error or mistake but the more close a document has been proofread there will be less or no problems. Also, consider having a peer or professor look over the document as well.
