Before taking the final draught of your essay, editing comes last in the writing process.

During this stage,


you may make sure the essay is properly organised, the argument makes sense, and the language is
grammatically sound. To ensure that you approach the editing assignment with a fresh perspective, it is
advised that you begin the editing process one or two days after producing the draught. The editing
stage is the period for changes and improvements. Utilize the resources and tools at your disposal. You
are fortunate if your instructor let you use a computer to prepare your essays. Additionally, you may
request peer reviews and request input from your friends, instructors, or teaching assistants. Verify that
you've met all the standards for the essay, that the material is accurate, and that the formatting and
referencing are right. Make sure that every source you use in your essay is included in the bibliography
and vice versa. Also, make sure that the items in the bibliography are placed in the order of the name-
year system. Take a printout, and check the printed version's final editing and proofreading. Mistakes
that you may not see on a computer screen will undoubtedly be visible to you. Do not conflate the
British and American spellings. Common wealth nations like using British spellings. Point your pen or
pencil at each word and consider its capitalization, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and meaning. Even
though computers have spellcheck and grammar check capabilities, a human check is necessary since
computers cannot catch every inaccuracy. Use paper that is A4 in size and has a 1.5 line spacing for
making the final copy. On the left side of the page, leave a margin of 38 mm (1.5"), and on the other
sides, leave a margin of 25 mm (1"). The pages must all have numbers. Keep in mind that essays for UG
courses at KAU must be handwritten. On a separate sheet, include the essay prompt, your name,
admissions number, course title, etc.
