Preparing for Skills Session 1
- Skills Session 1 is coming up the week of 2/5. The topic of this session is keyboard shortcuts. It’s a good idea to prepare for this session as soon as possible because the benefits of being fluent with keyboard shortcuts will be immediately useful, and it will take time to practice these shortcuts.
- Start preparing for this session by visiting the Skills Session 1 page.
