After the student has learned the keyboard, timed writings will be given. There must be 3 passing timed writings to earn a timed writing grade. The student will take production tests on simple letters, reports, horizontal and vertical centering and computer functions. Open Laboratory hours will be posted on the doors of the labs as soon as possible and the student should take full advantage of this service. Laboratory assistants will be in the labs to help with questions about software and hardware.
Attendance is of the utmost importance.
The college catalog outlines the attendance policy, as student should not be absent more than the equivalent of two weeks of classes. These absences do not have to be on consecutive days. If the student misses more than 5 days of class he or she will be dropped. The student must initiate this drop procedure, as it is not the responsibility of the instructor. No eating, drinking, or tobacco products are permitted in the classroom.
