Writing Wrongs: How Editors Help Students Avoid Costly Mistakes
Summary
College students often seek help from friends or family to correct errors in their papers, ranging from punctuation to spelling. However, professional editing services offer a more reliable solution.Article
Many college students who aim for a polished paper often rely on friends or parents for proofreading. However, unless your parents are professional editors, crucial mistakes might slip through, impacting your final grade.An alternative resource for students is online editorial services like Scribendi.com. "Having someone review your work before submission is crucial," says Chandra Clarke, a director at Scribendi.com. "Especially when you've been working late into the night, as students often do."
Research highlights the importance of having an objective reviewer for your writing. A study by Meredyth Daneman and Murray Stainton from the University of Toronto revealed that people are less effective at identifying errors in their own writing due to its familiarity. Essentially, writers see what they expect rather than what is actually there.
While spell-checkers help catch non-word errors, they often miss context-related spelling errors, which result in real words that are incorrect in the sentence. According to Raymond Panko, a professor at the University of Hawaii, humans catch only about 75% of these contextual errors, making editorial review essential.
Editors offer a fresh perspective, spotting errors that might go unnoticed by the writer. They approach the text without preconceived notions, catching image-damaging mistakes.
Services like Scribendi also provide constructive feedback, explaining word usage and writing conventions. This not only results in a better paper but also helps students improve their writing skills.
