Read your clocking sheet.

Rethink what has been pointed out to
you, and make any corrections you think
are necessary. Be sure to check with
another source if you are not sure.
You get to decide what corrections to
make. If the editor has found a valid
error, correct it. If you dont agree,
you have the choice to leave it in your
paper.
Your teacher will give you a deadline
for corrections. You must turn in your
clocking sheet along with all other parts
of your process.
