Proofreading your thesis is as important as any other aspect involved in the writing process. Some of the benefits of performing a thorough proofreading are: 1. It will give you the chance to fix any errors. Grammar mistakes can also be caught and fixed. 2. Misplaced punctuation can change the entire meaning of a sentence, hence it is important to ensure that these little marks have been expertly employed. 3. Address every error, no matter how big or small
