Typing Requirements
for the
Into to InfoPro Unit


The Introduction unit that the whole class is working on has a typing requirement. This is very important for anyone hoping to earn a typing credit (or 6).

To begin you need to start the typing program. It is called TypingMaster. Go to Start>Programs and look for an icon like this.
   
  1. Type 15 minutes every class period (about 3 lessons.)
  2. Once you have learned all the alphabet keys, do a 1 minute Test. Your goal is 20 WMP (words per minute) and 96% accuracy, with no more than 1 uncorrected error. You must use proper fingerings (home row). If you passed, print out the successful Diploma. Marks will be assigned as follows:
    Marks for typing
    WPM Mark
    20 50%
    21-22 60%
    23-24 70%
    25-26 80%
    27-28 90%
    29-30 100%

  3. You must do an observed test where Mr. Eberts watches you type the Alphabet on the blacked out keyboard. You lose 10% for every error/backspace. No more than 3 errors allowed! If you make another error, you may try again next class period.
  4. When the observed test is done, you no longer need to do the 15 minutes at the beginning of class. Whew!
