Beta-testing

Prior to submitting your manuscript for copy editing, the OERU recommends beta-testing your text for at least two terms and giving students an opportunity to provide feedback. Many faculty have found the student feedback very helpful, which may lead to some significant revision of your text. The OERU recommends using a Word or PDF version of your text for beta-testing.

Beta-testing involves providing the students with a copy of your manuscript and inviting feedback on the content and layout. Some faculty give students extra credit for providing feedback or making a note of errors in the text. This is entirely up to you.
