The Art of Proofreading: Polishing Your Assignment

Take a Break
Never proofread immediately after writing. Leave it for a day (or at least a few hours) so you can look at it with fresh eyes.
Read Aloud
This is the best way to catch clunky sentences and grammatical errors. If you stumble reading it, your marker will too.
Check Formatting
Ensure your font, spacing, and margins meet your university's guidelines. Consistency looks professional.
Verify References
Spot-check your citations. Are all sources in the bibliography? are dates correct?
