Although they will not proofread work, they can help students to proofread their own work and develop appropriate strategies to do so in the future. If your institution has anything like this, it could be useful to your students (though potentially most useful earlier in the process). | |

This isn't a question of ethics

| May 23, 2018 at 19:23 | comment | added | user68958 | When I was in the end of my own PhD studies, I proofread (from a purely linguistic point of view) theses of two of my colleagues. They asked if it's ok, I agreed, helped them, and even learnt some new stuff (both scientifically and about assessing the clarity of the exposition) - so it was a win-win. So if you ask someone for it, they will most likely also benefit. | |

Every thesis should be proof-read by colleagues, who are of course also allowed to comment on the content! Why not? Do you send the student away if he comes to you asking for advice? | |

| May 23, 2018 at 16:01 | comment | added | M.S | I don't think is rude. As a non-native speaker I wouldn't feel offended if my advisor thinks my English needs to be proof-read by a peer, in fact, it is likely that I would have looked for a native speaker to read to proof-read it anyway. | |
