Skills Session 1

Purpose

Get really good with keyboard shortcuts for two main reasons:

  • Using shortcuts saves a ton of time
  • It feels really cool!

Task

  • Review and practice all shortcuts described here.
  • During our in-person skills session (week of 2/5-2/9), I will ask you to demonstrate your ability to use most of these shortcuts within a roughly 5 minute span.

Requirements for passing

You will Pass this Skills Session if you can do all of the commands I ask without using your mouse.

If you forget a few shortcuts, it’s ok! Just write down the ones you missed and show them to me the next day.

Scheduling

Because this is a very short Skills Session (SS), we don’t need to formally schedule exact times. Use any of the following options to complete this SS with me:

  • Come by my office at any point during these times this week:
    • Monday 2/5: 10:00am-2:30pm, 3:30-5:00pm
    • Wednesday 2/7: 3:30-5:00pm
    • Friday 2/9: noon-5:00pm
  • I’ll stay after class on Tuesday 2/6 and Thursday 2/8 for 10 minutes (11:10-11:20am).

For just this SS, I can check in with 2 students at a time.
