This course is the continued instruction of basic realtime machine shorthand theory for judicial reporting and captioning. The course will teach the student how to read, write, and transcribe the spoken word with punctuation by means of a realtime translation theory. Students will write on their steno machine using live dictation, electronic media and/or realtime technology, and teacher interaction. Students will read back, analyze steno outlines, and produce transcriptions at various lengths from their steno outlines on a weekly basis. Students will begin speedbuilding, with a goal of 60 to 80 wpm. Using computer-assisted technology (CAT) software, students will continue to build a personal dictionary. A personalized Instructional Development Plan (IDP) shall be continued to support student success in achieving prescribed program outcomes and shall be a joint effort between instructor and student. The IDP shall be reevaluated at least monthly and provide a means for regular faculty feedback and coaching. Students should practice as much as possible, with 18 hours per week being a minimum.
