Free Editing Report
Editing can be a pretty subjective assessment of a paper, but there are still basic guiding principles to follow. Do your sentences connect logically to one another, and do your paragraphs follow an argument for your thesis? Is one sentence the topic sentence, with the others offering evidence to back it up? Building on a logical foundation, there are issues of voice and theme to consider in your paper. A sarcastic tone works for a scathing editorial, but not for a clinical scientific description. These things and much more are what you must consider as you write out every line of your paper.
