We discussed the questions that are due Friday. The instructor answered questions about issues students were having. She showed how to use the Snip It tool, found in the Windows operating system and also how to find additional proofreader's marks. In addition, students will find a .pdf of proofreader's symbols at writershelp. Enter "WritersHelp_RevisionSymbols" in the search engine.
