Book Reviews of Mastering Computer Typing: A Painless Course for Beginners and Professionals
Book Review: Practical without frills
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked at a number of books to use in a computer literacy education program, for the touch-typing part of the training. Most of the books I looked at were far too busy and color-drenched on each page - visually confusing. This book is modeled after the 'old school' books, which met my needs. The materials work through a progression of exercises, starting with the basics on finger positioning, and then into full blown document preparation. Someone commented that it was - well, boring. In a way, yes, but it allows the person to focus on the materials page by page. I've recommended to my client that they purchase the books for all those participating in the Computer Literacy Education program I'll lead.
