This assignment was a great learning experience, and it gave me a confidence-boost with its completion. In the beginning, I started with uneasiness. How was I supposed to edit and proofread this document when I don’t even know how to properly spell “carbamazepine” and “aripiprazole?” The 24-page medical document was daunting, but I was determined to complete the document and ensure the client was pleased with the outcome.
I faced many challenges with this assignment; I didn’t know my client very well, I was unfamiliar with the subject matter, and I had a limited amount of time to produce a finished copy. Overcoming these obstacles is something that I look back on with pride, knowing that I gained valuable experience that will transfer into my future career with technical writing.

I was able to develop flexible strategies for drafting, revising, and editing in this assignment by editing a live document, and gaining knowledgeable insight on how the editing processes works. By working with a live client and seeing all of their original comments, I was able to prioritize and organize the content into more easily readable sections, along with correcting punctuation, grammar, and formatting mistakes.
This is the final draft.
This is the original copyedit draft.
