Chapter 14 had some good ideas for revising papers. I liked the idea of reading your draft more than once. It often helps to step away for a moment and then come back to whatever you are doing in order to have a clearer mind. I find that just giving my mind some time to relax I am able to see what mistakes I have made in papers and make them better. The point about making the most significant revisions first is also a good idea. This way you aren’t trying to go through the entire paper and fix everything at once. It is possible to become too overwhelmed and miss small mistakes.
Chapter 15 gave good insight on making documents useable to others. I like to let others read my work to make sure it makes sense and is doing what the assignment asked for. What one person might find important information others might not so it is important to get several points of view before finalizing papers. If your document it supposed to persuade people to action it is also good to see what exactly you are communicating to them. It is important that the readers see what they need to do and feel the need to do it without putting bias in your writing.
