Keyboarding 2 Online
(Specific information is intended as an example only.)
Recommendation:
If you do not type at all or do not type by touch, enroll in Computer
Keyboarding 1. If you type 20
wpm and want only to improve speed and accuracy, you may enroll in Computer Keyboarding Improvement, which has no document
processing. If you type accurately at 30 wpm, you may enroll in
Computer Keyboarding 2. Note: Students with a verified disability who may need
reasonable accommodations for this class are encouraged to notify the
instructor and contact the Office of Special Services.

Class and
Grading Policies:
|
-
Timed Writings.
You will be given a series of 5' timings at the end of the course. The
best two timed writings are averaged to determine your speed. If your
timed writings are
not within the 5-error limit, 2 wpm (words per minute) will be subtracted from the gwpm
(gross words per minute) for each error over the maximum number of errors
allowed. For example, if your speed was 40 and your errors were 6, your nwpm (net words per minute) would be 38. Timed
writings will be scheduled on
campus at the end of the course unless I have approved another
arrangement.
-
Document Processing Tests.
These tests are timed and the document is evaluated for format and
accuracy. (See See the Tests page for details.) Tests are scheduled on campus periodically through the
course.
Only one
attempt is allowed on these tests.
-
Practice Document Processing Tests.
You will take these timed practice tests at home periodically
through the semester. They are very similar to the actual document
processing test you will take when you come on campus and are evaluated
for format and accuracy. (See the Tests page for details.)
Never take
an actual document processing test on campus until you have successfully
completed the practice document processing tests!
-
Document Processing Jobs.
All document jobs must be submitted as "mailable" (free of
formatting or typographical errors) to earn an A. Click
here for assessment
details.
A
document assigned a D or F may be resubmitted one time by editing the
document and uploading again. The lower grade will be dropped.
-
Proofreading Checks.
Five documents are designated on the
Assignment Sheets as
Proofreading Checks.
Each Proofreading Check document must be proofread with 100%
accuracy; that means that in the Portfolio, Keystroking
Errors must be —0— and the Attempt Origin must
be "Started." To regain a lost Proofreading Check point,
use Start Work to begin again from a blank Word screen,
and retype the job. Your goal is to have zero Keystroking
Errors when you click Submit Work to score
the document. Formatting should also be correct.
-
Skillbuilding. Check your
weekly assignment sheets to see what skillbuilding exercises are
due.
Late
penalties of up to 10% off the final course grade will be
enforced against any skillbuilding submitted late or not at all.
-
Technique Check.
I will administer a
Technique Check and observe your
keyboarding technique to
ensure that you can type by touch with correct fingering and technique.
Technique checks will be scheduled on campus as soon as you
complete Lesson 10.
You must type with acceptable
or better technique
to pass this course.
-
Extra
Credit. Your grade may be raised up to 10% if you proofread any
documents (other than designated
Proofreading Checks)
with 0 errors on the first Started attempt. You may also earn extra credit
by completing extra skillbuilding and document processing jobs.
-
Due Dates. All
work assigned for a particular week, including practice tests and regular
tests, is due no later than Saturday evening at the end of the week in which
the work is assigned.
Up to 1% per
week will be deducted from your final average for any late or missing
skillbuilding or document processing jobs.
