skills will help you as a student become familiar with the rules
of reinforcing grammar, punctuation, vocabulary and sentence
structure. In this chapter, students will learn theories and
principles of editing and proofreading that will enable them to edit
and proofread a variety of texts. The competencies developed will
enable them to polish and hence produce high-quality written work
that meets academic and professional standards.
