Make sure your group is clear about the purposes of each round of revision.Generally,you should first revise with a focus on the strength of your ideas and how well these ideas match the needs of your audience.Then you should focus on how smoothly the various sections of your paper flow together.Next,you should consider issues such as formatting,ease of reading,and language mechanics.Ann's team was not clear about the appropriate order of revision and asked her to work on language mechanics too early in the process,which resulted in wasted work.
