There are a number of steps to proof-reading your work. Each stage is important to make your work as clear as possible.

Once you have completed and submitted your assignment, there is still one more important stage to come. The feedback that you receive will help you identify priorities for your next piece of work. Keep a note of minor errors that you need to check for when proof-reading and major issues you need to work on to improve your marks.
