Proofreading

many errors. I would like to improve my proof reading because some times, I procrastinate and when I proofread, I miss errors that I was able to fix when revising well. In the second project, the strengths were having good sources but I did not execute an argumentative thesis. The overall introduction was well written but the whole essay did not have an argumentative point. Weaknesses in the essay were the use of capital letters, use of italics, and wrong spacing on the works cited. To fix the use of capital letters I will pay attention and proofread well to find all the mistakes in the essay. As for the spacing in the works cited, I will need to improve my proofreading skills because I miss grammatical errors and punctuations. The Final project was great because I felt I did very well on it, but then again the proofreading was not strong. As for the introduction, I included the word nomophobia and the definition to make a better understanding of what my essay was about. In the essay, I felt that I knew where I was headed and had my thoughts planned. This was possible because we were required to present our thesis and an outline of what we were going to explain in the essay. The weaknesses in the essay were numerous errors on the use of apostrophes, when to change numbers to written form and errors on the works cited. In the essay, I made few mistakes on the use of the percent sign. I needed to type it in words rather than the logo. These minor errors had an effect on my…

in my studying to catch up. On my next module, I intend to try and avoid this happening by starting my studies as early as possible once I have received the study material. Going forward I really need to improve on my spelling and grammar as well as my proof reading as this is something I feel that I have failed on and it’s something that is mentioned on all my assignments from my tutor. On every assignment, I have consistently spell checked and proofread before submission, however on TMA04…

To become skilled at proofreading, an unskilled writer needs plenty of practice. Some suggest students take the time to proofread their writing repeatedly looking for a specific error within the writing. Impressive as this idea is, most students only read through their writing a few times. As students become skilled writers less errors will be made when writing and proofreading will consume less time. When students learn to ask themselves, questions regarding sentence structure and proper…

Coming to Geneseo, when I registered for this course I was definitely nervous. In High School writing an English paper has never been my strong suit to begin with. Being out of high school for three years I haven’t written a paper, so right off the bat I found this course difficult. For instances, this course challenged myself to really “think” about what I should write during the first essay process. I was recapping what happened in the film “Do the Right Thing” rather than analysing the…

Portfolio reviewers Over the course or English 1100 I have been assigned four papers. The First paper was a Narrative Paper of an incident that changed my life. The second was an informative paper written as a newspaper article on one of ECU’s many clubs. The third article was an Analysis paper that focused on a short story out of the “T.C. Boyle Stories” book. The final paper I wrote was an exploratory paper on a subject from one of my last three papers. After writing these papers I have…

My coworkers who I did the most team-projects with were impressed with my writing. My first weeks on the job they claimed they enjoyed the “refreshing and new” incite that I brought to the team. AP style writing was used in all of my projects and I felt that was to my advantage. I was able to pick out what edits were needed, and then use my resources, such as the AP style guide, to find the answer. A large portion of my work included proof reading projects. This meant I had pay attention to…

Since studying my writing skills, I plan to make sure that my grammar and punctuation are in check. Going through my short stories that have been created, I will choose the one that…

Proof reading and Mismatch repair are crucial processes in DNA replication, their existence reduces the likelihood of a mutation occurring by a significant amount. In fact, proofreading reduces the likelihood of errors occurring to approximately one in every ten million nucleotides (Pierce, 2012-pp354). This essay will emphasise the importance of proofreading during, and mismatch repair post DNA replication and explore its significance in the mechanisms that drive Lynch syndrome. In eukaryotes 3…
