SGC 215PREREQUISITE: WRPPT 100 – Keyboarding, or equivalent competencyREQUIRED TEXT: Keyboarding and Word Processing, 19e, Lessons 1-110. Van

Huss, Forde, Woo, and Robertson. Southwestern, Cengage Learning, 2014

REQUIRED MATERIALS: Memory stick, the first day of class

SPECIAL NOTES:

Because this class is using a new program, instructions and activities may change throughout the semester.

Check answer keys for format before turning in documents. KPDO 2 checks words but does not check format.

PURPOSE:

This course is designed to provide instruction needed to meet curriculum requirements in the area of word processing for students completing a degree option within the Business Technology & Service Division. Within the environment of a self-paced classroom, the student will strive to achieve a high level of skill in processing error-free documents. Mastering this level will allow the student to perform word processing tasks successfully in the work world.

METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:

In this course, students will participate in lecture, classroom instruction, and independent and individualized activities. These methods will allow students to develop their keying skill and speed, to develop and maintain healthy posture and habits, to learn formatting rules, and to use critical thinking and problem solving when applying appropriate formats to business documents.

The daily schedule includes:

performing a minimum of three timed writings during the class period: one at the beginning of class, one directly following break, and one prior to leaving the class. If students are having difficulty obtaining the required speed for the credit they are in, more than three timed writings each day will be required to be successful. If students are keying in the 50-60 words per minute range, only one timed writing per day is necessary.

Additional timed writings are available in the Skill Builder sections of the textbook. Skill Builders are listed in the Table of Contents. To access these timed writings, click on the clock on the main KPDO menu.

performing tension-relieving and relaxation exercises (as assigned) following break to develop healthy habits to carry into the workplace.

printing out a report of the lessons after the credit is completed. To print the report, go to the Main Menu, Click on Reports, Summary Report, and print. Turn in the report to the instructor before taking the test.

completing ALL assignments for each lesson and turning in all assignments listed in the syllabus as EACH is completed. You may skip Communication activities, Internet, and Email Activities.

correcting imperfect documents until the documents are perfect.

asking questions when unsure about a process, but only after carefully checking the textbook for the answer.

using the sample formats in the reference section of the textbook as a guide for formatting business documents.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

When correcting documents in KPDO, the errors will be highlighted. Scroll down to the bottom of the document, and the specific errors will be listed.

With turning in a document with page numbers, headers, or footers, the document must be printed in KPDO and in Word. The above features don’t appear in KPDO.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Earned Variable CreditsWord Processing is a six-credit class. Students will receive a credit after completing all of the requirements for that credit. Three credits are usually the maximum that can be completed in one semester. Planning the semester well is imperative for the student to complete the registered credits. If the student cannot complete all the credits according to the timeline on Page 8, the student must drop at least one variable credit.

Timed WritingsAs the students advance through each credit of WP 200, they must increase their speed, keeping accuracy. The required speed is listed on the turn-in assignment sheet for each credit. Three different timed writings are required for each credit. Timed writings must be for three minutes with three or fewer errors.

Textbooks and KPDOThe students will have purchased the Lessons 1-110 textbook, which includes KPDO. This program is accessible online so that they can complete lessons at home. To use the program at home, students will need:

A PC with high-speed Internet connection, Firefox or Internet Explorer browser, Microsoft Word 2013 installed on your computer, A password and username for www.cengagebrain.com An access code for KPDO which correspons to the book you are using,

the Course Code from your instructor Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Version 4 Flash Player KPDO Plug-in KPDO Word Add In

TestsAfter completing all exercises and timed writings, students must:

1. print and submit the Timings Report 2. print and submit the Summary Report, which lists all completed exercises.3. schedule test with the instructor, and4. study and practice for the test.

E-mail AccountYou are required to use LCMail powered by Google for this course. All announcements will be sent to your LC Mail account. Please do not ask me to e-mail you at another address.

Instructor Expectations The students should work consistently and constantly to achieve a high level of skill which is directly

related to later on-the-job performance.

Students should carefully follow the instructions for each document. Reading carefully the first time is more efficient than having to go back and make corrections because directions were not followed.

Students should call in if they cannot be to class on time or if they will miss a class.

Students will begin work on the assigned computer within five minutes of class starting time. If students are not at their computers in that first five minutes, students from other classes may use the computer, and the tardy students lose their right to the computer that day. BE ON TIME! If a student has repeated absences, the computer assigned to him/her may be reassigned to another student for more productive use of the computer.

METHODS OF EVALUATION:

For the assignments turned in, an assignment with no (0) errors receives four (4) points. An assignment with one or more (1+) errors will be returned to the student for correction. The student will make the correction(s), staple the original and the re-do together, and turn them in to the instructor again. One re-do is worth three (3) points, and the second is worth two (2) points.

A grade of “C” or higher must be earned on each component (turned-in assignments, timed writings, work ethic, and performance test) before continuing on to the next credit. When the student earns more than one credit per semester, an average of these grades will determine the student’s final grade for the semester.

TestsThe only time limit is that it must be completed within one class period.

If a student fails the test the first time, one redo of the test is allowed. The highest grade possible for the redo test is a C. If a student fails the test a second time, the entire credit must be repeated.

3

Grading of Test DocumentsDocuments will be scored as follows:

Errors Grade0-1 A2 B3 CMore than 3 F

Progress and success depend on attendance. If a student has repeated absences, the final grade for that semester may be lowered one grade level for every ten hours missed.

Any student found using another student’s assignments and/or doing assignments or timed writings for another student will receive an “F” for the number of credits for which he/she is registered for the course. These credits must be repeated during a later semester for the student to receive credit toward completion of his/her certificate or degree.

Credits will be earned as follows: Course grade:

To comply with this requirement, Lewis-Clark State College has developed a consumer information page, which may be accessed at http://www.lcsc.edu/studentconsumerinformation/

SPECIAL ACCOMODATIONSIf you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment to talk with me. Students who request special accommodations should present a Faculty Notification Form from Disability Services which is located in the Student Counseling Center, RCH 111.

ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION/ATTENDANCEStudents who are not actively pursuing their classes may have to repay part or all of their financial aid awards depending upon the circumstances.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTYAcademic dishonesty, which includes cheating and plagiarism, is not tolerated at LCSC.

Students who are accused of being academically dishonest may be referred to the Dean of Student Services for official disciplinary action.

ILLEGAL FILE SHARINGStudents using LCSC’s computers and/or computer network must comply with the college’s appropriate use policies and are prohibited from illegally downloading or sharing data files of any kind.
