Realtime Writing Theory I teaches students how to write the spoken word with punctuation by means of a conflict-free, realtime-ready shorthand theory and provide instantaneous translation. It includes the use of online computer-aided technology and teacher interaction; live practice dictation for speed and accuracy; readback and analysis of shorthand notes. NCRA requirements include the following: students are required to transcribe steno notes and speed takes under timed institutional supervision or, if internet students, sign a sworn verification form stating that the work was completed without the aid of anyone present and without cheating. Speed takes shall be monitored and timed in the same way. Students are required to transcribe at least once a week. All speed takes and test recordings shall be deleted from the student's computer immediately following tests. Internet students must sign a sworn statement verifying that the material has been deleted from their computers and no backup had been made. Students shall have access to the minimum grading criteria as set forth by the NCRA requirements. Successful completion of the course requires a grade of "C-" or better. This course includes online computer-aided technology realtime translation.
