Comments
Library
[PDF]
is an instructor resource, which includes a detailed database of
titles and comments (general comments and annotations) you can copy and paste
to create your own

answers. Edit any titles and comments to suit your needs. You will
learn to:
-
Identify General Comments and Annotations.
-
Create and edit a Comments Library.
-
Create, insert, delete, and edit comments
(General
Comment
and

Reference Manual—Full Size Plus Callouts |
|
Reference Manual
is a handout that
includes full-sized, single page copies of the documents and formatting notes in
the Reference Manual found in GDP and in the front of the textbook
and Word Manual. Each item is enlarged on a
single page and includes rollover screen tips with helpful formatting
information. All rollover tips are included in a complete list of
typed callouts at the end of the document. If you wish, you can use
GDP's Resource feature to create
a link resource to it or download the file and post it as a file

Alternative Assessment
Tests
Alternate Outcomes Assessment Tests are found only in the Tests and Solutions Manual; therefore, you can use them in a
testing situation in which you do not want students to see the
test document in advance of the test. You must duplicate these
alternate tests in advance of the test. See pages iii and iv in
the Tests and Solutions Manual for a complete listing of
these alternate tests.

Placement and Objective Tests and
Solutions
(PDFs) You can find the Placement Tests, Outcomes Assessment
Tests, and Objective Tests in the Tests and Solutions Manual
starting on page 3. Pages 1-2 include instructions on
administering these tests.
The
Outcomes Assessment Tests
(the ones found in the textbook and the
Alternate) appear
by default on the Lessons menu under the last lesson in a Part. The
Objective Tests
appear on
the Lessons menu under the last lesson in a Part.
The
Placement Tests appear under My GDP,
Placement Tests, when
you enable them via GDP's Scheduling feature. The students'
scored results can appear in the Portfolio or can be delayed
using the Scheduling feature.
There are five placement tests:
Placement Test A: General Information Test This objective test includes forty multiple choice questions
taken from Book 1 and a few from Book 2.
Placement Test B: Timed Writing Consider administering a technique check to students as well to
see which new-key lessons need to be reviewed to determine an
appropriate starting point for skillbuilding.
Placement Test C: Business Letter in Block Style Business letters in block style are introduced in Lesson 26 and
basic proofreaders marks, in Lesson 33.
Placement Test D: Boxed Table Boxed tables are introduced in Lesson 36.
Placement Test E: Business Report Business reports with side headings are introduced in Lesson 31.
For details on Placement Tests, click
here and also see the GDP Course Manager User's Guide (GDP
Placement Tests section) accessed via GDP Instant Help in Course
Manager. See
Scheduling and Report
Strategies for Testing below for details on using the
Scheduling feature to enable any of these tests.

Assessment Strategies
[PDF]
We have received
several requests to update the assessment strategies chart found in
the Instructor's
Wraparound Edition for
GDP10e on pages PH-43 to PH-45. Although there is no one absolute
standard for assessing a finished document processing job, this file
should provide you with helpful guidelines for
assessing and assigning time
limits to Progress Checks, Outcomes Assessments Tests, or
any document processing job in the 11e. Jack Johnson and Arlene Zimmerly
updated their recommendations for assessment strategies. Click
either link above to view their recommendations. |
