Question

"Proofreading of the final draft of a document involves the same factors as   revision." How far do you agree with the statement?

Englishmaven · Accepted Answer

By the time you are proofreading, by most definitions, you should be looking for details that may be wrong. At the revising stage, you might still be putting ideas in different order, or you might have to add more details and explanation of your ideas. Proofreading involves spelling, punctuation, a final grammar check on verb tenses and pronoun choices. That is what is generally thought to be proofreading.

This seems to be some sort of writing assignment, zs.  How about making an effort first to think about the topic and write out your answer, and then we will check it for you.

While writers often try to accomplish them at the same time, revision and proofreading are properly separate operations. Revision is still an important stage of composition; writers revising drafts normally concentrate on omission of evidence, weak logic, poor management of transitions, wordiness, and general stylistic awkwardness. Proofreading is the careful examination of a revised final copy for errors in typing, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. By the time proofreading begins, major errors in content have already been dealt with. Dividing the tasks is important: in making substantial changes, writers often create small problems. Changes in sentence structure can produce agreement errors and faulty pronoun reference; additions to the sources or evidence cited may be inconsistent in reference format. Any new work, even revision, must be checked; thus, proofreading, which provides the final smoothing, is the final task.
To revise a draft is to see it with a fresh gaze (revise derives from the Latin revidere, "to see again"). Renewing your own gaze is difficult; if you can, convince others to lend your their eyes--after you have done what you can. Ideally you will use three readers for a serious project: a colleague engaged in the same research, someone from the field but outside your area, and a third unconnected with the field. The first will point out content blunders, the second will recognize failures to explain key features of your research, and the third will concentrate on the tangled obscurity of your writing. Before you approach anyone else, you must first work through the standard stages of revision, ensuring that your manuscript is satisfactory in its
• sequence of parts,
• completeness of content,
• economy of expression,
• agreement between text, data tables, and lists of authorities,
• format.

I have underlined some problems and crossed out inappropriate verbiage. As my last step, I have re-ordered your paragraphs, so you must check that I have not created any inconsistency in your discourse markers:

Revision is ~~still~~ an important stage of composition; writers revising drafts normally concentrate on omission of evidence, weak logic, poor management of transitions, wordiness, and general stylistic awkwardness.

To revise a draft is to see it with a fresh gaze ~~(revise derives from the Latin revidere, "to see again")~~. Renewing your own gaze is difficult; if you can, convince others to lend your their eyes--after you have done what you can. Ideally you will use three readers for a serious project: a colleague engaged in the same research, someone from the field but outside your area, and a third unconnected with the field. The first will point out content blunders, the second will recognize failures to explain key features of your research, and the third will concentrate on the tangled obscurity of your writing. However, before you approach anyone else, you must first work through the standard stages of revision, ensuring that your manuscript is satisfactory in its
• sequence of parts
• completeness of content
• economy of expression
• agreement between text, data tables, and lists of authorities
• format (No end punctuation for sentence fragments with bullets)

Proofreading is the careful examination of a revised final copy for errors in typing, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. By the time proofreading begins, major errors in content have already been dealt with. Dividing the tasks is important: in making substantial changes, writers often create ~~small~~ problems. Changes in sentence structure can produce agreement errors and faulty pronoun reference; additions to the sources or evidence cited may be inconsistent in reference format. Any new work, even revision, must be checked; thus, proofreading, which (Too many commas; recast) provides the final smoothing, is the final task.

PS: I love 'the tangled obscurity'!
