Re: Last minute proof read....

"...king Arthur and the knight’s of the round table." should read "King Arthur and the knights of the round table."

"Perhaps, the sword, Excalibur, and the mage, Merlin, are the most well known of them all." Should read "The sword, Excalibur, and the mage, Merlin, are perhaps the best known of them all."

You forgot to put a space before siting sources.

In the sentence "From the before said, it can be seen how..." (4th paragraph, 1st sentence), leave out "from the before said."

That's all.

Re: Last minute proof read....

thanks.
I missed that.
If only you hadn't done that 3 minutes before i left for school...
oh well, she gave an extra 10% to everyone who turned it in today so I should be more than fine.

thanks, hah I should do this again, but maybe not so last minute and past midnight, ohhh well she has 30-40 of these to grade perhaps she wont catch them. Thanks KK.

ALSO: I want to expand this to become a thing where others can post simillarly. Perhaps raising all of our grades as we help *cough* cheat for *cough* each other...

(technically this is not cheating but it is an unfair advantage...)

Re: Last minute proof read....

Getting someone to proofread your work isn't cheating, you know.

If it were cheating, I wouldn't have done that.

I'd be happy to check over anyone's essay. Full analysis, or simply grammar/spelling.

It is definatly not cheating. It would be stupid not to have someone else proof read your work. You should probably have multiple people read it, and again after revising it.

Re: Last minute proof read....

Normally I never have anyone read my essays and I slide by with an A or an A-, with something that is only a sentence or two off from my rough draft. what I had there essentially was a rough draft that was unrevised... most definately not my best work.

I wasn't serious when I said cheating, that was more or less a shallow joke....
