There is a misconception that editing and proofreading means rewriting your entire essay. Because of this misconception, many students do not edit or proofread, and thereby miss out on opportunities for improvement and self-reflection. No one gets it right the first try!

The fact is, editing and proofreading are key skills that are required in the workforce. Being able to reflect on your work and make improvements is something that will become second nature to you; it would not look good if you completed a job only halfway!
