Prerequisite: None
Keyboarding is the most popular course in our business depatment, and one of the most popular elective courses here at Cypress. These students realize the importance of knowing how to type and that typing is the gateway to computers. Keyboarding students will use a Macintosh or IBM computer using office technology to complete business-related tasks.
The first and foremost task in this class is to learn to type accurately by "Touch". "Touch Typing" means being able to type without looking at the keys. When students have learned to type by touch, they will complete drills and computer analyses on Mondays to improve their speed and accuracy followed by 5-minute timed tests to measure their improvement. Tuesdays through Thursdays will be production work when students type business letters, reports, tables, and business forms such as invoices, purchase orders, and memorandums. Fridays will be a test on the typing and formatting skills they have covered.
When students can touch-type and appropriate speed is attained, students will learn Word Processing. The last semester, students will learn basic Desk Top Publishing.
