<p>Hey There!&nbsp;<br /> <br /> I'm in the Master of Urban and Regional Planning program&nbsp;at San Jose State University in California.&nbsp;I just finished the first draft of my planning thesis report and I'm in need of thorough editing.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> The type of service I need is for my document to be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gramatically Correct; and</li>
<li>Free of Typos.</li>
</ul>
In addition, I'd like my report to have adequate:<br /><br />
<ul>
<li>Word Usage</li>
<li>Spelling; and</li>
<li>Punctuation.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<p>We use Turabian 8th Edition style citations in our department. Have you worked with this format before? If so, please edit accordingly.&nbsp;In particular, I'm using the "Author-Date" style. If you don't have experience in Turabian, please don't "sweat it". I'll take care of it.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Although this document is in Word 2013, my final report will be in Adobe InDesign. In other words, I will be transferring all the text over to InDesign. Please note that if you have a different version of Microsoft Word, then the formatting might possibly be "out of whack."&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Since my thesis adviser is already reviewing my draft and looking for&nbsp;the following components of my paper,&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">pease do not&nbsp;</span>make these&nbsp;the focus of your edits. Unless, of course, you think it is absolutely necessrary: &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> </p>
<ul>
<li>Are the research questions and/or goals well defined and clearly stated?</li>
<li>Does the author demonstrate in-depth familiarity with relevant literature on the subject?</li>
<li>Is the methodology appropriate to answer the research question(s)?</li>
<li>Is the collected data sufficient in quality and depth to answer the research question?</li>
<li>Is the analysis direct, competent, and appropriate?</li>
<li>Are the conclusions sophisticated and based on the results of the analysis, as a logical extension of the findings?</li>
<li>Does the author show how his/her analysis and findings fit into the larger context of the&nbsp;literature and current professional practice?</li>
<li>Is the material logically organized, so that a reader can easily follow the writer&rsquo;s train of thought?</li>
<li>Do tables and figures add useful/important information for the reader?</li>
<li>Is the report attractive and professional in appearance?</li>
</ul>
<p>You will also notice that I left a trail of comments either for myself or my adviser. Please feel read them if you think they are pertinent to my thesis, which I doubt, but nonetheless "you never know."&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Please use "Track Changes" so I can see your edits and learn how I can improve my writing.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Thank you so much! I look forward to yor edits! =)<br /> <br /> All the Best,&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Kenneth Rosales</p>
