The Editing Process

This course is an introductory proofreading/copyediting course that presents an overview of the editorial process and instruction on the basic tools and tasks of proofreaders and copyeditors. Students will use style manuals and reference books, create style sheets, and learn methods of querying authors and project editors.

In the Wikipedia assignment, students will be asked to find a number of articles needing copy edits to gain practice editing the writing of others for spelling, grammar, structure, etc. They will also identify at least one article that needs additional research; they will complete that research to gain practice finding sources, fact-checking, and other advanced editing techniques.
