I think revision is going over something, specifically a paper or assignment. Revision is going back and making changes to make sure that everything is how you want it to be. In other words, I think revision is like proofreading, checking everything before you turn it in. I ususally conduct revision through reading my work over carefully checking for spelling and grammar errors. Including repeated words and punctuation. I revise because I dont want to turn in something that looks or sounds bad, everything must be presented in a well organized way. Usually people that revise are the author of the documents being revised or even a friend, classmate, or teacher. I usually like others to revise my work because they will catch more mistakes and give an opinion.
I totally agree with all that you have said about revisions. I also like when others revise my work because like you said, they are more likely to catch my mistakes. Revising is good because again like you said, you can catch something before you turn it in!
