Thesis Proofreading

The reason why proofreading and spell checking are so important when it comes to your thesis is because the thesis is a direct reflection of your academic level. You have all the good reasons to build and maintain a good image especially in the eyes of the thesis committee and in those of your adviser. So don’t hesitate to resort to proof reading and spell checking even before you finish the thesis, every time you finish writing a section, a paragraph or a page, every time you submit a section to your adviser. You don’t want it to come back with marked spelling mistakes indicating that you may not know how to write correctly- which is of course not true, but professors never think that their students were in a hurry.

The good news is that almost regardless of the software you are using to write your thesis; you will have the benefit of an automatic spell checker and grammar error checker. So don’t hesitate to activate those options and to use them as often as possible. It might seem boring in the beginning but it will soon become a reflex. So don't leave it to luck!
