<p>I have taught professional editing and revising many times, and, while students in my courses edit text on their computers, I have also taught copyediting using editing symbols on print copy. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have done that because, among other things, I am not sure if it is easier to catch mistakes on print copy as opposed to text on an electronic backlit screen. <span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></p>

<p>Howdy, Hive Mind.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful and well-considered input about the value of teaching hard-copy markup. It seems that, in the long term, hard-copy markup is akin to buggy-whip braiding, but for now, it still holds some potential value; I'll keep teaching
the unit with the attitude of "you might find this useful" and reduce its grade weight.
<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>

<div class="PlainText">Hi, colleagues.<br>
<br>
I have a question, and I'd like your input.<br>
<br>
I'm updating my Technical Editing class, and I'm pondering whether to <br>
keep or cut the unit on hard-copy markup. I taught this unit in years <br>
past to good effect, but now that most editing is done electronically, I <br>
wonder if hard-copy markup is a dead skill.<br>
<br>
If you were to (or if you actually do) teach a course on technical <br>
editing, would you teach hard-copy markup?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.<br>
