Proofreading: Wout it Your Puck’d!
Seriously, proofreading is a no brainer. Often correct spelling, grammar and syntax will be worth around 10% of a grade and sometimes as much as 20%. That’s easy credit and the reverse is apparent. If you don’t proofread, or have someone else proofread, your work then you risk the downgrade of what might otherwise be an outstanding paper. On the other hand if written content is not your strength the question is; can you afford to skip proofreading?
