Reviewing and Improving Research

3 lessons · 60 min

What you will learn

  • Revise at the level of argument before sentences
  • Use feedback and rubrics systematically
  • Proofread effectively

Lessons

Revise in layers

First check the big picture: does every section answer the question? Then structure: is each paragraph in the right place? Then sentences: clear, concise, cautious where needed. Proofread last.

Read your work against the rubric as if you were the marker, criterion by criterion.

Example

Reverse outline: write one line per paragraph summarising its point, then check the sequence.

Exercise

Run the Quality Center and resolve the highest-severity signals first.
