Writing 3, Session 9 (June 20th, 2007)
Today's typing test: University
Next week's typing test: University
Post target before next week's class: 55
Last week, I made a mistake looking at the calendar and gave you an incorrect target number of posts. Sorry! But hopefully, you will now have a little "yoyuu". That's good because I want you to have lots of time to improve your typing.
The target is 100 words in 5 minutes. This gives you enough speed to enjoy blogging. If possible, I would like everyone to reach this target. For those who cannot reach this target, I'm giving you a new minimum target of 75 words. It is not possible to pass the course without reaching this target. Without reaching 85 words, it will not be possible to get a higher grade. Remember that next semester you will be expected to type at a rate of 100 words, so it is best to reach this target as soon as possible.
Important points for the weekly typing test:
- Remember the topic and prepare for it. If you don't prepare, the typing test becomes a combined composition/typing test. If you prepare you can just concentrate on typing.
- Get to class on time, start up the computer, log in, start up Word, and type the title. Then start typing as soon as the timer starts.
