Don't Forget to Proofread!

As you work on wrapping up your final papers and projects, don’t forget the last step before you hit “print”—proofreading!

Proofreading tips and techniques:
  1. Read your paper aloud or have someone read it to you.
  2. Print out a copy of your essay and read it with a pen in your hand. 
  3. Read it sentence-by-sentence backwards.
  4. Read with a focus on one particular issue at a time. 
  5. Set your paper aside for a few hours and proofread with fresh eyes.
  6. Come to a Writing Center workshop on grammar and punctuation to get practice identifying and editing grammar issues in your writing.
