Question

Need someone to proofread a college papaer for a Spanish Literature graduate class... anyone interested>

Answer 1

Please go over your paper with the following in mind. Thanks to PsyDAG for the following:

In the future, if nobody is available to proofread your work, you can do this yourself. After writing your material, put it aside for a day — at least several hours. (This breaks mental sets you might have that keep you from noticing problems.) <b>Then read it aloud as if you were reading someone else's work.</b> (Reading aloud slows down your reading, so you are less likely to skip over problems.)

[You can also either read it aloud to someone else or have someone else read it aloud to you! (The latter works really well!)]

If your reading goes smoothly, that is fine. However, <b>wherever you "stumble" in your reading, other people are likely to have a problem in reading your material. Those "stumbles" indicate areas that need revising.</b>

Once you have made your revisions, repeat the process above. Good papers often require many drafts.
