Reviewing and revising a document whether it be my own or
someone else’s are crucial in that it gives the document another chance to
improve. If the reviser is not the writer of the work, it just helps to have a
different pair of eyes to check over the work. The four different levels of reviewing
a document are crucial individually but proves to be very beneficial when
performed properly. When reviewing the design it is important to analyze the
overall feel of the document. It is important to check if the headings and
sub-headings are noticeable in order for the reader to know exactly what is
important and how to follow along, as well as visuals to help get the message across.
Reviewing the organization checks for the overall structure and organization
(e.g. OABC). Reviewing the content makes sure that the information that is
being provided and the content are all coherent, concise, complete, and
correct. As well as checking every paragraph to see if they are flowing into
the next one and if they are structured properly. And reviewing sentences is
basically checking if the fundamental rules of sentences are applied in their
structures, punctuation, errors, language, and length.
