Delivery estimate: March 17, 2010 - April 1, 2010
Shipping estimate for these items: March 11, 2010 - March 12, 2010

Still have not received and have sent two emails to the company. Needless to say, I won't order from this company again.

Trying to contact Amazon for info.

This is supposed to be a guide for EAs?
You have got to be kidding me.I had to stop reading after I found six typos in four pages (p. 10-13). I'm not sure who dropped what ball on this one but someone certainly did.

Theory
This book is very helpful in learning theory. C Freer, co-author of the book, is the head of the court reporting department at my school.

Close, but no cigar!
This theory is well conceived, and presented in an understandable format, but requires a great deal of memorization of brief forms and phrases.It is somewhat weak in phonetic writing (that is writing words strictly by sound). It is certainly worthy of consideration, but Phoenix Theory is probably a better choice for serious Court Reporting or Captioning students. ... Read more

type with one hand
type with one hand by Richardson, Nina, Richardson 199

Great for late nights on the Web
This book helped me to keep one hand free while I browsed the web with the other hand. My favourite technique is the combined use of the right hand on the mouse and keyboard, leaving the left hand free. Especially important isthe use of the Shift and Control keys with one hand and without having tolook away from the monitor. ... Read more

Product Description
This new text has been prepared to help teachers meet the major changes set for the SCOTVEC curriculum. It provides up-to-the-minute activity-based assignment material which is related to evaluation and assessment within the text processing modular scheme. Book One commences with keyboard accuracy and achievement and continues with material specifically aimed to modules 1-3 within the text processing syllabus. There is no teaching strategy within that text; it is totally student activity-based achievement learning, which ultimately makes the book flexible and adaptable to open learning as well as accumulative assessment and mixed ability teaching. Book Two continues from Book One, to provide more advanced activity-based assignments which cover modules 4-5 of the SCOTVEC Text Processing syllabus. Like Book One it has no teaching strategy laid down. This title is also suitable as activity-based assessment material for RSA 1&2, PEI, LCCI and BTEC syllabuses. ... Read more
