[nabs-l] assignments with copy editing

Amy,
Oh, you were in communications so you would have done copy editing.
How exactly did you work with the reader? Did they read slowly for you to 
hear the errors and you'd tell them what symbol to use?

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

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
