Emphasis will be on speed and accuracy as well as spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Elements of word processing will also be presented through the use of word processing software, Microsoft Word 2010. This is a Summer class and as such is offered in a compressed 8-week schedule. Work scheduled during the week is twice what students during the regular semesters are scheduled. The course will require a great deal of concentration and self-discipline to remain on schedule. COURSE OBJECTIVES: 1. Basic skills necessary to input data by learning the method of touch keyboarding. 2. To reach operational skills of speed and accuracy keying straight-copy alphanumeric material. 3. To use some applied keyboarding applications typical of those found in business. 4. To do a simple block style letter with mixed punctuation; i.e., date, inside address, salutation, body, complimentary close, signature and reference line. 5. To do a simple memo To, From, Date, Subject and body. 6. Basic skills in grammar and punctuation necessary to produce small documents, business letters and short reports. REQUIRED TEXTBOOK: VanHuss, S., Forde, C., & Woo, D. (2011). Keyboarding & Word Processing Essentials: Microsoft Word 2010, Lessons 1-55 (18 th Ed.). Mason, OH: South-Western Cengage Learning. ISBN-13: 978-0- 538-49538-7. The textbook comes bundled with Keyboarding Pro Deluxe 2 Student software. This is the same software we will be using in the classroom and will allow students the ability to practice at home and with the addition of Microsoft Office Word 2010, also complete assignments. Students need to have a USB flash drive to use for signing into the keyboarding software and transferring user information. It also allows for storage of partially completed lessons so the student can complete them either at home or at the college. Many of the college s computer laboratory machines have this software preloaded on them. OFFICE HOURS: As an adjunct faculty member I do not have an office available at the college. I am available prior to and immediately after class. Students may contact me via email at Chris_Jauch@ivcc.edu. If these times are not convenient, I am on the campus on several days of the week, so email me and we can make other arrangements if necessary. Page 1 of 6

CLASSROOM RULES: Attendance I expect you to be in class. I will be there, and so should you. If you cannot be in class, please notify me via the listed email. Failure to attend class will result in your inability to be prepared. Repeated absences may result in involuntary withdrawal from the course. I also understand there may be extenuating circumstances that might occur on an emergency basis that could cause you to be late for class. A few minutes can be excused, however more than a few minutes is not showing respect for your fellow students. If you are late on a quiz/test date and the quiz/test has already started, you will not be allowed to enter the class until after the quiz/test. You will not be allowed to makeup the test and will receive a zero. Class will also start promptly at 6:00 p.m. Students should be in the classroom and seated prior to that time. Inappropriate Behavior I expect each of you to conduct yourselves in a manner appropriate for adult college students and not be disruptive to the class. I will not tolerate inappropriate behavior during the class period. If I catch anyone being disruptive, I will warn you first. Subsequent behavior will result in my asking you to leave the classroom. Continued behavior will result in points being deducted from your grade. Inappropriate behavior is defined as any behavior that: Interferes with other students ability to learn Interferes with the instructor s ability to teach This includes the use of cell phones, pagers and other electronic devices. As a parent, I understand the need to be available in case of emergency. Make sure these devices are set to vibrate, silent or turned off. Only emergency calls will be accepted. Texting will not be tolerated during class hours. This class experience is preparing you for the workplace and inappropriate behavior is not tolerated there either. I ve signed a contract to teach and will give it my all. I expect you to do the same in participating in the educational experience. Academic Dishonesty It is the responsibility of each student to respect the academic integrity of each class by doing their own work and refusing to assist others in deception. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and facilitating academic dishonesty are examples of violations of academic integrity. Students that are caught in any of the above listed violations will be dealt with in accordance with the IVCC Student Code of Conduct. Instances of academic dishonesty will be dealt with in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. Faculty members have the authority to imposing any of the sanctions listed in the Code, including, but not limited to, a zero on the assignment, lower grade, involuntary withdrawal from the course or failure of the course. These violations may also be reported to the Dean of Career and Technical Programs. Extreme cases may be reported directly to the Vice President for Learning and Student Development for disciplinary action. Withdrawals Effective Summer 2011, students will have the ability to initiate a withdrawal from classes. By completing the form in the Records Office or through the form located within WebAdvisor, the student is authorizing IVCC to remove him/her from the course. Entering the student ID number serves as the student s electronic signature. IVCC has the right to rescind a withdrawal in cases of academic dishonesty or at the instructor s discretion. They can access it through "My Class Schedule" and through the "Register and Drop" page on the Student Menu. Admissions & Records office will send a confirmation email to the student's K email address and also to the faculty member once the withdrawal is processed if it is received electronically.

Students should be aware of the impact of a withdrawal on full-time status for insurance purposes and for financial aid. It is highly recommended that students meet with their instructor or with a counselor before withdrawing from a class to discuss if a withdrawal is the best course of action for that particular student. The instructor still reserves the right to involuntarily withdraw students in accordance to the above listed attendance policy. More detailed information is available at www.ivcc.edu/admissions and selecting the menu item for Withdrawals on the left side of the page. The last date to withdraw from class is Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Please note: Effective Summer 2011, all students will be responsible for checking their IVCC email. All electronic college correspondence will only be sent to the IVCC email. This is the only address the college or your instructors will use.
