Progressive Practice: Alphabet
In this week assignment, you will be completing the Progressive Practice-Alphabet in GDP and submitting it in Canvas. Read the guidelines carefully to complete this assignment successfully.
Guidelines
Progressive Practice exercises are a series of 30-second timed writings that will help you increase both speed and accuracy. You will be completing the Progressive Practice: Alphabet ONLY which concentrates on keying of the alphabetic keys.
An entry timed writing is taken to establish your beginning speed. Once the entry timed writing is scored, GDP will present a Progressive Practice paragraph that is 2 wpm faster than your most recently achieved goal. Your goal is to key the passage within 30 seconds with no errors. Repeat the passage until you meet the current speed goal with no errors. When you achieve that goal, GDP will promote you to the next higher speed (2 wpm faster).
Complete the second passage by meeting the speed goal with no errors. Repeat as necessary.
Continue until you have accomplished typing at six different speed levels with no errors. For example, if your starting speed goal is 26, you would type the passage repeatedly until you reached 26 wpm with 0 errors. Then GDP would promote you to the next level where the goal is 28 wpm with 0 errors, then 30 wpm with 0 errors, then 32 wpm with 0 errors, then 34 wpm with 0 errors, and finally, 36 wpm with 0 errors.
When you have accomplished typing at six increasingly higher levels of speed with 0 errors, you have finished the exercise. You must successfully complete the six levels for full credit.
