Hello Chiriz:

I think it is very encouraging for students to practice their skills helping a non-profit organization. I can help you with pleasure. Please let me know how they want the review; if tracking changes and comments is enough or if there is some other requirements. If you need more info about me or something; also let me know.

Count me in! Jul 22, 2009

Please do count me in! I will love to help if there is enough to do for four people.

I was wondering: As I reckon that these reviews are really aimed towards showing your college students where they need improvement, wouldn't it make sense to deliver a separate file with some quick comments about the major issues, along with the review-marked document? I don't mean a detailed report, just a quick list of things to check more carefully in any professional work done later on.
