COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

The students will:

1.  Practice the Cortez Peters championship typewriting methods.

2.  Demonstrate their skill by typing five-minute timed writings with

   one or fewer errors.

3.  Use the Cortez Peters method while typing one-minute timings writings

   with perfect accuracy.

4.  Apply the new typewriting methods learned so that each student will

   have typed a minimum of five Honor Roll Papers by the end of the

   course. (An Honor Roll Paper is a five-minute timed writing with one

   or fewer errors).

5.  Embark upon a program to increase speed while still maintaining

   accuracy. Increase in speed can be achieved through the judicious

   use of the following:

     A. rhythm tapes.

     B. technique-perfection tapes.

     C. keyboard reinforcement tapes.

     D. individual consultations with the instructor so that progress

        can be monitored and appropriate changes can be determined to

        enhance student achievement.

6.  Achieve the distinction of becoming a Cortez Peters Championship

   Typing Class by averaging five Honor Roll Papers per student in

   the class.

7.  Reduce the class's CBER (class beginning error rate) so that the

   CEER (class ending error rate) falls below 1.0 errors per students.
