According to Biden, "Republicans just have to let us do our job. Just get out of the way. If you don’t want to help save the country, get out of the way so you don’t destroy it" (as cited in Fedor & Piloti, para. 5, 2021). What kind of citation is this?

What did you learn about editing & proofreading?
Slide 6 - Mind map
Separate processes;
do not edit while writing;
both will be repeated several times;
read text and changes out loud;
have a friend or person unfamiliar with your topic read it to see if it makes sense;
have someone strong in language/grammar read it to help you spot mistakes;
always set the spell and grammar check to the language you're writing in;
save the document often and sometimes email a copy to yourself so you don't lose your work;
if you have multiple people look at it, send them each a word document with a different name and keep track of it;
keep your own working copy so you can decide what changes to make/nobody else's changes will go undetected.
