Revision and Proofreading
Revision means to look again. After you write your draft, look at it again to improve your ideas, evidence, and organization. By revising (also known as rewriting or changing) parts of your writing, you can produce a higher quality document. Revision happens more than once in the same draft. Read your draft a few times to make some changes, and then look at the changed version again to make additional changes. Repeat this process until you feel confident that your paper has focused ideas, strong evidence, and an effective organization.
Proofreading involves reading your document to correct the smaller typographical, grammatical, and spelling errors. Proofreading is usually the very last step you take before sending off the final draft of your work for evaluation or publication. It comes after you have addressed larger matters such as style, content, citations, and organization during revising. Like revising, proofreading demands a close and careful reading of the text. Although quite tedious, it is a necessary and worthwhile exercise that ensures that your reader is not distracted by careless mistakes.
