Learn to proofread with a sharper eye! This workshop will introduce participants to tips and techniques for recognizing typographical, format, grammatical, spelling, punctuation, and content errors when proofreading. Participants will assess their current proofreading abilities and work on new habits to build their skills that need strengthening.
At the completion of this workshop, the participants will have improved their knowledge and skills to be able to:
· proofread with increased awareness, especially in common trouble spots
· correctly use commas, semicolons, quotation marks, and other punctuation
· identify and correct commonly misused words (such as affect or effect, principal or principle, etc.)
· develop a personal action plan to improve proofreading skills
