Editing

I have very little editing experience. That one sentence alone pretty much wraps up how I feel about editing. I've always felt like my work needs to be edited by others, not me editing other people's work. I feel like this class will give me the opportunity to learn editing skills and that is something I desparately need.
I am looking forward to the opportunity of learning how to properly edit as well. I want to know what all the symbols mean and I want to be confident that the work I am producing is properly edited as well.
