I have zero experience making edits from a style sheet or using Chicago style, so this exercise was very hard and overwhelming. Like I have stated before I am not tech-savvy, so it is all about introductions at this point.  Reading what the assignment was made it seem like it was not that bad, instead it felt pretty self -explanatory. All I had to do was make basic to moderate edits to a word document.  I then went through and made sure that headers and in-text citations looked correct.  I was half right and half wrong. My initial scope was looking through basic typos and grammar mistakes. Then going through again about 3 or 4 times I was making sure the headings and images were okay. Overall, the article was pretty difficult to go through also considering I had no prior knowledge about the topics being discussed, so I had to be careful before I changed certain things like certain words or sentences. I can see how the style sheet is a very useful tool to be applied when the when it comes to editing documents etc. However, this is not something that should be trusted in just anyone. Those with extreme knowledge in editing and technology should be the go to’s when making these corrections. They would need to be very Type A and particular about their work to get the best job done.
