Hi Tamsin,
I know nothing of the program, but typing is so crucial to job, life, and survival these days, that if typing is holding you back, I'd say 'try anything'! I took typing way back in High School, before computers were invented. It was a manual typewriter of the kind that you had to reach up with your right hand and slap the carriage back to the left at the end of every line. Can you imagine that when I started typing on an electric typewriter, I actually 'missed' getting to slap that thing at the end or every line? <smiles> I wasn't fast and I wasn't accurate, but I did learn to type,... and I got really good at using white out and correction tape. Yes, I'll be delighted for you to get to go learn typing where they are making 'any' effort to be understanding to students who probably won't be typing 60 wpm. - jus'
