What is TECHNIQUE? • Eyes on Copy • Proper Wrist Position • Proper Position of Feet • Correct Distance From the Machine • Proper Posture—Straight Back • Proper Reach for All Keys
What is ACCURACY? • Your accuracy grade is made up of typing tests. • You will proofreading your test. • Each error that you circle is worth one point. • Each error that you miss is worth two points. • Each test is worth 100 points.
The Need for Speed! • Your goal is to key at 10 wpm (words per minute) during a one-minute timing with 3 or less errors. • If you do, you will get 10/10 for a quiz grade. • Each error over 3 is minus one point. For example, if you key 13 wpm and make 5 errors your score will be 8/10.
