Keyboarding
Sherburne-Earlville Central School
Mrs. Hall
CLASS REQUIREMENTS
The only thing you must bring to this class is a pen or pencil and planner.
All class assignments must be handed in by specific deadlines. These dates will
be announced. Usually all work must be submitted by the end of the five week or
the end of each quarter. Extensions will be granted but only if you have received
permission first from Mrs. Hall. If you are absent, please note my school web site
has a calendar link that lists all assignments for the week.
The grading structure will be as follows:
Assignments
Unit Tests
Technique*
40%
40%
20%
*The purpose of this class is to learn to key information into the computer
without watching your fingers. If you consistently watch your fingers, your grade
will never be higher than an 80. This policy is in effect to emphasize the proper
keyboarding technique.
Also included in the technique section is speed. You must key at least 25
words per minute to pass this class. Even if you have passed all assignments
and tests, if you have not reached 25 w.p.m., you will not pass this class.
Taking the final examination is required to pass this class.
