[nabs-l] assignments with copy editing

[Amy Sabo]

hello ashely,

to help you out on this matter i took a couple of copy editing classes a few semesters ago and, when i did this for my tests i used a reader for them. as for the tests i did this and, for my homework i did them under my cctv. but, a reader would be recommendable for this class.

i hope that i was able to help you out. take care and, i will talk to you soon.


hugs,
from amy

Subject: [nabs-l] assignments with copy editing

Hi all,



I’m taking an online editing class.  We’re supposed to apply editing symbols to some assignments

Additionally we take tests in person at the testing center.  The professor said



“

The tests 

“involve applying proof reading symbols to edit a document provided at the Testing Center. (A copy of the usual synbols will be provided.)





So how can I do this part?  I skipped over that symbol page when reading since its not text. Now I realize I need to use them.

I thought about enlarging them and trying to see them with my vision, central vision.  But what else can I do for this?

I’m reading with a reader.  Do I need to complete the visual work with a reader? Even then I can’t say reader draw a punctuation symbol because they don’t have names, at least I don’t think the symbols have names.



The class is technical editing so we’re supposed to write business corespondence and edit existing documents.

I’ll see if I cancopy directions from the next assignment so you see what its about.



Thanks.

Ashley Bramlett
