Course Description

Proofreading is the final step in editorial quality control. It looks for textual and design flubs or infelicities in a test run (proof) of the final product. 

The course starts by introducing the communication tools and practices used in proofreading. Then it looks at the three main areas of concern in proofreading: communicating changes, design concerns, and querying. Throughout, students apply the communication tools and practices used in proofreading across genres, including informational documents, creative narratives, and visuals.

The final assignment for this course is due one week after the course ends.
