At a Glance pg. 174

I liked taking in the paper as a whole and taking in the big picture. It helped with understanding the problems I had with the fluidity of the entire paper. Normally I would have taken the paper in sentence by sentence. I also like reading a hard copy better than on the screen. It is easier to analyze the paper as if I was in the place of the audience instead of actually reading my own paper. I do not like to revise out of order because the paper will not be read out of order.
