Module 9: The Final Assignment

The final module of Becoming An Editor includes the end-of-course assignment, which is a chance to apply everything you’ve learned. Get fully prepared by reading the assignment overview and plenty of editing advice, then complete a mock paper to review and test your skills. Then, when you’re ready, you’ll choose from three assignment options. After your work is graded by a tutor, you’ll receive personalized feedback and have the chance to schedule a one-on-one call to review your results.

Why Is the Final Assignment Important?

Mastering a new skill takes more than theory – it requires hands-on practice and constructive feedback. The final editing assignment is designed to give you both. It’s your opportunity to bring together everything you’ve learned throughout the course and apply it in a practical context.

Once your work is assessed, you’ll receive a full breakdown of your results, outlining what you did well and where there’s room to improve. This insight will help you to:

  • Revisit key concepts to strengthen your understanding
  • Apply editing principles with more confidence across different projects
  • Learn from your mistakes and sharpen your technique

If you achieve a score of 80% or higher, you’ll be one step closer to beginning a paid work trial with our partner company, Proofed. And if you need another try, our tutors will support you in getting ready for a fresh attempt.
