Delete My Comments

Hey all:

When I mark a correction (look up AP Style titles, for instance), when you do that — DELETE MY COMMENT from your paper.

Two reasons:

  1. it will show up in your final (without markup) and if you turn that in, you will fail the assignment because the copy isn’t clean. A final with random statements in it? No.
  2. you will not be able to follow my edits if you constantly have a stream of corrections in your copy

Papers

Hey all:

I’m working on all your stories today. I’m a day late, so I’ll push back your MONDAY STORIES until Wednesday.

No freaking out.
