1. DO attach your first draft or initial essay to your revision
2. A revision is NOT the same as editing; editing correction punctuation, grammar flaws, mechanics (subject-verb agreement, vague pronouns, etc.); REVISION calls for sentences to be re-written, if necessary, development increased, clarity and completeness to take the forefront of the essay
3. DO pay attention to MLA format; it is important and it is required--this includes spacing, margins, font--all aspects of MLA format
4. DO NOT use "you" or "your" in academic papers
5. Be wary of homonyms--even words that are NOT the same in sound can be confusing:
flouting/flaunting
isle/aisle
buy/by
6. AVOID USELESS or UNNECESSARY WORDS/PHRASES
6. Common abbreviations for errors:
RW = rewrite
BW = use a better word
WW = wrong word used
TR = transition or connection needed between sentences or paragraphs
VP = vague pronoun
CS = comma splice
