I'm converting a paragraph of content to bullet text for a online course. I
have 2 questions:
1. Do I capitalize the first word in each bullet point?
2. Do I add period to the end of each bullet?
See example below:
Proofreading literally means reading a document without audio. It is used
to:
- identify and understand the context and reviewing the text in its entirety
- make sure that the words, sentences, and punctuation of the text express
effectively precisely what the dictator wants them to
- ensure that the references to sources are accurate and that citations in
the text match the list of references
