Self-Editing Strategies

Try reading the punctuation out loud:

  • "However COMMA the research was unsuccessful."
  • "Although the research was unsuccessful BEEP the researchers did come to some interesting conclusions."

Replace conjunctions or transitions if they start to sound repetitive.

If you've used "so" twice, try using "therefore", "since", or "because" instead.

Without Transitions
