I revived my ability to use proofreading marks, which I hadn’t used for over a decade. I learned in great detail what comes within the remit of proofreaders and copy-editors respectively. The legal and copyright stuff was new to me and good to know.
Both of my tutors Rachel and Shuna were very helpful. They wrote detailed, useful notes describing where I’d gone wrong, and encouraging praise where I’d gone right. I did find it difficult to give the right amount of detail in my queries, giving too much, then too little, then too much again, in three successive assignments. This would have been easier to sort out with a phone call, but obviously that’s not how the course is designed.
The course covered a lot, mostly quite thoroughly. No complaints.
