Finalizing a Paper

Once you have created a rough draft of your paper or presentation is important to thoroughly edit it.  Sometime you may have more than one rough draft, which is okay.  Before you finalize a draft you should make sure that you proofread it for typing and grammar errors.  Other than spelling and grammar mistakes it is also important to make sure that your point is clear to the reader and that your writing flows together well.  In order to avoid misspelled words, I use spell-check on my computer.  Although spell check is very helpful it is important to remember to read over your work many times in order to make sure spell check corrected the word you meant.  Another way to begin proofreading your work is to have someone else review it for you; they may see something that you have missed.  I really like to have someone else read my rough draft for me in order to give me constructive feedback.  While you are reviewing you work it is important to make sure the reader is going to understand what you are saying.  Once you have gone over your drafts a couple of times and made sure that your spelling and grammar is correct and that your paper flows you can begin your final draft.
