Five documents have been designated on
the Assignment Sheet as Proofreading Checks.
This orientation will help you understand Proofreading Check documents
including how they are created using the online Reference Manual and
textbook; how they are scored by GDP, and how two separate grades are
assigned to a document.

 | Each Proofreading Check document must be proofread with 100% accuracy
and have zero scoring errors on the first scored attempt. If any errors
are scored, 1% point will be deducted from your final grade average. To
make up a lost point, you may recreate the document and try again.
|
| Deductions.
If there are any typos on
the first scored attempt on a proofreading check document, 1% will be deducted from your final average up to
5% total at my discretion.
 If you finish a document and
are not yet ready to score it, click No when you exit and are
prompted to score. I count scored attempts only, not unscored
attempts.
|
| To earn back a lost proofreading point,
click Create to delete and recreate the Proofreading Check
document. If it is scored with zero errors, you regain the lost
proofreading point. |
| Extra Credit. If you proofread any
documents other than those designated as proofreading checks with zero
errors on the first attempt, from 0.5 to 1.5% of
extra credit
will be added to your final average. These extra credit points will help
cancel out any proofreading deductions. |

Document Editing and Proofreading
You must recreate a proofreading check
document or edit a regular document until it is perfect—no typos and no
formatting errors. If the format
is perfect and there are no typos, you will earn a grade of A for
formatting. Whenever you need to review the errors you made in a document
after you have closed the document, do the following:
| Click Portfolio.
|
| Click the desired document and click View Text to display your
scored document. |
| Click Return to Program to return to
the Lesson Menu.
|
I will grade the last attempt you make on
all documents when assigning a formatting grade. To edit the document, reselect the document
and click
the Edit button to reopen the document. Continue editing the document
until the format is perfect and there are no typos.
