Copy Edit the World: First 10 Points

1. (Above) The first error I found was in the course green sheet for ADV 125 - Advertising Layout and Production. The error was that there was a word that wasn't needed in the sentence. In this case, taking out the "a" after "as" would correct the sentence. (4 points)
2. (Above) The second error I found was in my MCOM 101 (Media Law) class green sheet. The error was that the sentence needed a comma to avoid running on. The part of the sentence should read something like "...ethical issues that are important to working journalists, advertisers, and public relations professionals. " (4 points)

3. (Above) This third error was found in the course green sheet for ADV 125 - Advertising Layout and Production. The problem was that the end of the sentence had no period. I added a period in the photo, as well as circled it. (4 points)

  1. I agree on your first and third items, but the second one is OK as is.
