Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to let students develop the skill of ten-finger typing in order to create and process documents efficiently. ZAV software package is used for typing training so that every student can proceed at his/her own pace, based solely on their effort. Moreover, students are to gain basic knowledge of typography, go through difficult cases of Czech spelling rules, learn how to process personal and business correspondence according to the ČSN 01 6910 Czech technical norm (Guidelines for text presentation). Lectures are going to further provide students with an overview of e sources utilisation and advanced text processing, including OCR and proof-reading. Practice lessons are focused on practising the current topics, following the lectures.
Upon finishing the course, students will be able to touch-type using ten fingers and to produce formally well-structured diploma thesis or other scholarly papers utilising basic knowledge of typography, correct Czech spelling, and the ČSN 01 6910 technical norm.
