| Description: SkillBuilding Mastery On The Computer is an advanced keyboarding course designed to increase typing speed and accuracy to employable levels of 50+ wpm. This is a self-paced course and students are encouraged to meet the speed and accuracy goals in each exercise before continuing on to the next one. Students will have 15-second, 30-second, and 1-5 minute timings. All of the 1-5 minute timings are taken from the best Human Relations books. While taking timings students learn how to handle irate customers, read tips on being an effective speaker, learn how to get people to like you, learn how to handle mistakes, how to be successful, the need to be understanding and sensitive to other’s feelings and needs, etc. There are 517 timed exercises that are automatically scored, and those that meet the accuracy rate are recorded to the Progress Report. There are five proofreading exercises to teach proofreading skills. All the alphabetic, punctuation, numeric, and symbol keys are covered with timings. Prerequisite: Students keying approximately 32-35 wpm by touch, without looking at the keys, are prepared to take this course. | ||
