COPS & CLUESS

In class today, we reveiwed the editing part of the writing process. We did two exercises which required us to edit the writings. In these exercises, we had the chance to use the COPS and CLUESS writing tools to make changes to the sentences. It was not easy, but once you understand what you are reading, it will be much easier to rearrange, ad, or delete words, phrases or even sentences. This stage really helps make a writing much more understandable and clear to readers.

  3. It does become challenging when editing other write-ups than your own. For me, to edit other write-ups, I would have to make sure that I have some understanding of the persons thought so as to not steer away from their actual writing piece.

  6. I also think that it isn't so easy to edit papers and this stage does make your writing more understandable and clear.
