The Importance of Assessing and Revising

When writing a paper it's very important to re-read it a couple times before you are sure that it's sufficient enough to turn in. Not only should you read it but also having somebody else read it would be a good idea so you can hear their input. When examining the text you need to decipher a few things such as: where the writing is the strongest, weakest, or if more needs to be added. A huge factor in writing a paper is the main point or focus. The thesis, beginning, middle, and end should all revolve around the focus of your paper. If you are reading through and it starts to go off on a tangent then it needs to be changed so everything flows smoothly and makes sense. Going along with your thesis you need to make sure that the body is agreeing with it. When revising some things to be considered would be the title, the attention grabber, thesis, arguments, organization and clarity. Grammar and spelling aren't the important parts of the paper, it's what is actually being said in it.
