PART 4 TEST 21 Touch Typing If you are looking at your hands as you type, this is a VERY hard habit to
break. However, you CAN break it by making a conscious decision each time
you sit down to type that you will NOT look once you begin typing a line.
When you are completely finished, examine your errors, determine which keys
you don't know by touch, and focus on those keys. If you will do this, I
promise you that in time, your speed and accuracy will increase nicely. If
you don't do this, your speed and accuracy will not change much at all.
Also, if you cannot type by touch during the technique check, you cannot
pass keyboarding. So make a decision now to break that bad habit and
develop a new one. You'll do fine.

Keyboarding Talk Posts Please don't complete your Keyboarding Talk posts all at once. You will
find that the posts are assigned in certain weeks for a reason. You are
often introduced to a concept in the week in which the post is assigned,
and you will find it easier to answer the question in Keyboarding Talk if
you wait until the week in which it is assigned. Thank you.

Editing Extra Credit Work Any extra credit work that earns a C or better qualifies you for extra
credit on that document. It is really not necessary to go back and edit
these documents until they are perfect. Their purpose is to give you
another opportunity to practice and learn. Short documents like tables earn
½ extra credit. I don't' recommend doing extra credit documents. They
provide very little extra credit. The best way to be successful in this
course is to do extra skillbuilding and repeat any missed points for
proofreading checks or get extra credit for proofreading non-proofreading
check documents on the first attempt.
eecw Proofreading and Formatting Edit all proofreading and formatting errors on all documents until the
document is mailable (error free). In GDP, press F1 and click the Index
tab; in box 1, type Error Marking and click the Display button. Read about
the color coding on scoring.
pf Proofreading Grade Addition, Yes (Check Row 21 of the spreadsheet for this
grade.)
Documents designated as Proofreading Checks serve as a check of your
proofreading skill. One percentage point will be added to your proofreading
grade average because you proofread this document with zero errors on the
first scored attempt. Congratulations!
pga Proofreading Grade Deduction, No (Check Row 21 of the spreadsheet for this
grade.)
Documents designated as Proofreading Checks serve as a check of your
proofreading skill. Your goal is to have zero typographical errors when GDP
first scores your document. One percentage point will be deducted from your
proofreading grade average because you had one or more typos. To regain
this lost point, reselect this document in GDP, click "Create" rather than
"Edit" to erase the document and begin again with a blank document. If the
document scores with zero errors on this attempt, you have earned back the
lost point.
pgd Proofreading Grade Regained, Reg (Check Row 21 of the spreadsheet for this
grade.)
Documents designated as Proofreading Checks serve as a check of your
proofreading skill. One percentage point will be added back to your
proofreading grade average because you proofread this document with zero
errors on the first scored attempt. Congratulations!
pgr Copying and Pasting
In comparing the time in your first attempt and the time in your most
recent attempt, there is quite a discrepancy. I assume in your most recent
attempt, you copied and pasted your work rather than retyping. This
disqualifies you from earning a proofreading check point. The only way to
earn a proofreading point is to retype the entire document and proofread
the entire document again. If I'm incorrect in my assumption on your time
on your most recent attempt, please advise. Thanks.
cp Proofreading Grade, Extra Credit:
Since this was not a designated Proofreading Check and you proofread this
document with zero errors on the first scored attempt, you have either
regained a lost proofreading point or extra credit will be added to your
final grade average. Congratulations!
pgec Proofreading Grade Notice
The proofreading deductions on the Proofreading Check documents you have
earned to date are really hurting your grade. You have a total of a 6%
deduction from your final grade average so far. All you need to do is
recreate and retype any Proofreading Check documents with zero errors on
the first scored attempt, and you'll regain the lost point.

Improving Document Grades You can edit any document with a low grade (D or F, for example) once and
resubmit it for grading so that you can earn a better grade. In the future,
please don't submit a document for grading until it is perfect-no typos and
no formatting errors. If the format is perfect and there are no typos, you
will earn a grade of A for formatting. I will grade the most recent attempt
you make on all documents when assigning a formatting grade. To edit the
document, press Edit on the Lesson menu for that document. Notify me by
email that you are resubmitting a document to improve your grade.
idg
Document Grades Don't let a low formatting grade scare you. You can edit any document with
a low grade once and resubmit it one time only. The new grade will replace
the old one and there will not be a penalty.

Drill Lines Go to the Web site to Week 1, and look at the box entitled "Orientation to
Keyboarding Drills." There you will see an example of the Speed Pattern for
typing drills. Type your drill lines as shown under the Speed Pattern. You
should always type each line twice before proceeding to a new line. The
first time you type the line, you are learning. The second time, you are
reinforcing the new line so it should be easier. If you type a line once
and go to a new line without repeating, you are not getting the
reinforcement you need. Speed pattern: Each practice line is typed twice before proceeding to the
next line:

Correcting Errors It is very important NOT to correct errors on skillbuilding. It's OK to
correct on timings, just not on skillbuilding. When you correct errors
during skillbuilding, you slow down or stop, take your fingers off the
keyboard, look, etc., all of which are very bad for your technique. Also,
when I look at your skillbuilding, I have no way of telling which keys are
giving you trouble and therefore can't help you. Type drills without
correcting errors. When you are done, go back and see which letters give
you problems, and then try the line again if you think it is needed. Under
Options, Personal Settings, check or uncheck Full Editing in Timings and/or
in Drills as desired.
ce
Warmup Drills I notice that most of your warmup drills don't have errors. When you learn
to type, it is natural and normal to make errors. Usually, when I see a
perfect Warmup, it indicates you are probably either looking at your hands
or going to slow. Type the Warmup with a steady pace without looking at
your hands. Don't be concerned about a few errors--they are normal.
wd
Language Arts Language Arts exercises like this one are indicated with a + sign on the
assignment sheet. Edit these exercises until you have one error maximum. If
you make more than two errors on a Language Arts drill, complete the
tutorial for that exercise, and then retype the Language Arts drill until
you can complete it with one error maximum. Language Arts drills must be
completed with one error maximum to earn credit for this exercise. Repeat
this exercise until you have one error maximum.
