- Review and Revise Your Document DraftAt least one day after completing your draft and after the review workshop, revisit your draft and review it for:
-
- Content – did you include all of the required elements, meeting the specific requirements. (If you have completed the extra credit, you have included the needed in-text citation.)
- Coherent – does your document flow (Links to an external site.) so that a reader can follow what you have written as one cohesive document. To check for this, read your document out loud to yourself. Ask yourself as you go if the message is continuous, with one idea leading to the next.
- Clarity – have you explicitly stated what you mean throughout your document? To check for this, look for hedging, (Links to an external site.) slang, idioms and (Links to an external site.)vague words and remove them or replace them with more precise terms.
- Concise Wording (Links to an external site.) – eliminate meaningless words or phrases, redundant qualifiers, repetitive ideas. To check for that reference, this resource before reviewing.
Revise your work as needed. Even professional writers revise their work to make it better. If you feel you do not need any revision, you are not looking carefully enough. Keep a running list of the revisions you make. This list can be a bullet-pointed list that is a brief but understandable documentation of what type of changes you made and where you did this in the document. For example:
- Content – I added more detail to the Use of statistics in my field, as mine lacked detail
- Coherent – I revised sentence structure to make the introduction, use of statistics, and conclusion read more coherently
- Clarity – I see I used the word things frequently and revised the document to use more specific wording to use statistics and enhance my employability sections.
