GOAL: To make writing more effective and editing more efficient
Provide the writer and the editor with the right tools
Encourage a more collaborative editing process
Together, the writer and editor can develop an efficient writing protocol.

IACT375 -P&CHF
The writing/editing process is not as effective as it could be. A number of factors are
involved. The writer could be neglecting to self edit and relying entirely on the editor. If
the editor is a friend, they might be reluctant to point out their friend’s mistakes. The
tools provided are not specifically designed for this purpose: for example track changes
only tracks the editor’s changes, not the writer’s. The goal of this project is to improve
this process by making writing more effective and editing more efficient.
Provide the writer and the editor with the right tools
Encourage a more collaborative editing process
Together, the writer and editor can develop an efficient writing protocol.

IACT375 -P&CHF
GOAL: To make writing more effective and editing more efficient
My proposal is to provide the writer and editor with tools designed for better writing and
editing. Specifically, I wish to provide writer and editor with software that will provide
them with a better working “environment,” one that is more suitable to their needs.
Encourage a more collaborative editing process
Together, the writer and editor can develop an efficient writing protocol.

GOAL: To make writing more effective and editing more efficient
Provide the writer and the editor with the right tools
Software alone does not a good writer (or editor) make. Research shows that a
degree of collaboration, particularly in the editing process, will speed things up, as
well as make the writer better at self-editing. The proposed software will
encourage this collaboration by providing features built for this purpose.
Together, the writer and editor can develop an efficient writing protocol.

GOAL: To make writing more effective and editing more efficient
Provide the writer and the editor with the right tools
Encourage a more collaborative editing process
Through repeated cycles of writing and editing, both the writer and the editor
will develop a more efficient, highly customized protocol for writing. A
suggested protocol and writing/editing schedule will be included with the
software documentation, but users are encouraged to develop and refine their
own.

You should begin with an introductory paragraph. It contains the thesis statement of the
paper. The thesis statement tells the reader what the rest of the writing will be about, and
sets the stage for the writer to get their point across. It can be in the form of a question that
must be answered, or at least addressed thoroughly, by the end of the writing. It is often
restated in the final paragraph, or conclusion, for emphasis.
This is the second paragraph of the text, and the first paragraph of the body. If the writer
has asked any questions in the introductory paragraph, they begin to answer them in this
paragraph, or at least begin to address the questions. Every paragraph in the body of the
test should have a topic sentence that clearly and succinctly states the main point of the
paragraph. This sentence helps the reader skim through the text and gain a general
understanding of it without having to read it in depth.
Paragraphs in the body generally follow the structure stated above. It is important to
supplement the topic sentence with a number of supporting sentences. The supporting
sentences do just that: support the topic sentence. This can be done using examples,
further elaboration, or forms of argument.
One important element in writing is flow. Every paragraph must flow gracefully into the
next, usually using the last sentence to effectively lead into the next topic. Flow improves
readability of the text. It gives the writing a cohesiveness that aids in reading it. It makes the
text appear to be one whole instead of a sum of several fragmented ideas. Writing is first
and foremost a form of communication and should be an effective one.
