I can’t forget it. The evil teacher put a box over our hands and keyboard so we couldn’t see our fingers. The typing software made a beep every time we made a mistake and summoned the teacher. The exams where timed and every mistake you made in the final copy (you basically had to copy a paper document) cost you a grade.
I still fuck up sometimes today due to sometimes using keyboards with US, DE or Apple layouts but in general I’m quite fast and never need to look at my hands.
I hated software like this. It caused me to make two errors immediately: knowing I missed the correct key and then immediately back spacing, causing the second error.
I remember we did it. Though not that strictly. Just some program and eventually got a grade for it based on usually grading system.
I would have never passed so strict requirements, well i never have passed so strict requirements anyway.
Our native language teacher had similar strict requirements. I didn’t pass a single exam that year, regardless of how many times i tried or for how long i studied.
So I’m completely with you, screw that type of teachers. Making mistakes is human.
I hated that box. It was red and we’d just slump down in our chairs to look under it.
The thing that really helped my touch typing was playing MUDS: nothing like a textual goblin attacking you to encourage you to quickly type “kill goblin”.
