Staff Education & Career Development Workshop: "Techniques for Identifying and Correcting Mistakes in Written Communication"

This one-day program is designed for those whose job requires them to identify and correct errors in their writing or the writing of others. Emphasis will be placed on specific writing assignments and on developing the participant's ability to use proofreading techniques and marks; identify common typographical and character errors; and find and correct grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors. Additional emphasis will be placed on the finer points of proofreading and editing—usage, capitalization, numbers, and spacing. http://cit.hr.caltech.edu/Education/courses/correcting_mistakes.htm
