A Proofread Biology Term Paper Sample – Do You Really Need It?

  You spent the last few weeks working tirelessly on you biology term paper and you are almost done.  All that is left is to proofread you masterpiece and one way you can do that is with samples of biology term papers.

Why Use Samples

Using samples of your paper will show you what you should and shouldn’t do in your term paper. Here are some reasons why they are important. 

• Samples should be used as an educational tool to show you how to do something, like a biology term paper. 
• Seeing a sample of what you are working on will help you better understand what you are doing wrong in your own work.
• Using these samples to proofread your paper will show you what your paper should look like so you can fix it. 

Proofreading With Samples

• The first thing you should do is print out your paper, this makes it easier to take notes and mark what needs changing in it.  Read it over out loud, this way you can hear the mistakes and they will be easier to find.
• Look for mistakes in your punctuation, this is simple but you would be surprised at what you might have missed. Use your samples as a reference if you don’t know what to look for. 
• Next look for grammatical errors, if these are not fixed your paper will sound amateur and be hard to read.  You can find examples if you are unsure of some grammatical errors online.    
• When you are fixing these mistakes on your computer, you can use the find or search feature in your word document to expedite the process. 
• You should also look for words or phrases that you use multiple times and change or replace them with something else, so your paper doesn’t sound repetitive.  After reading the samples, you should be able to pick these out really quick.  
• You should always proofread your paper in a quiet place so you can pay close attention to your paper.  This will also make it easy to spot the mistakes. 
• When you are proofreading over your paper, you shouldn’t do it all at once, break it up into sections so it is easier to pay attention to detail. 
• One of the places that most students forget to proofread is the reference section of their paper. It is just as important to make sure there are no errors there either.  You should be able to find examples of the right way to do this in your samples.    
• After you have fixed all of the mistakes, now it is time to see if the paper makes sense or if you have to rewrite a lot because it isn’t properly arranged with the information you want to relay.  If you are still unsure if it sounds right, refer to the samples for help. 
• Rewrite the paper according to your notes and don’t forget to go back over this list again to make sure you didn’t miss anything the second time.
