Today we spent most of our class going over the difference between revision, editing, and proofreading. This is an important conversation to have as most of you are in the midst of doing some heavy revision work on your first essay. For those worried over end of semester grades, please put these concerns aside and focus on the work before you. There's plenty of time to improve grades.
Homework
