Wheedling (or shouting) about typing trial gmail

Please pardon me for again cross-posting a gmail message to an individual participant in the Writing Studio. The problems that he/she is having are general enough to merit sharing this advice with everyone in Writing IIIc.

The message that I'm cross-posting below explains ins and outs of gmailing required typing speed trials. Where you see capitalized words, you may imagine that I am shouting:

... If you haven't learned how to send automated gmail replies, and edit gmail subject lines to update the word count; ask how in class BEFORE you send your next typing speed trial.

Until you improve the timeliness of your gmail messages AND the accuracy of your gmail subject lines - and again type more than one hundred words in five minutes, strictly timed; you won't pass the typing speed trial for this semester. Though in early June I considered failure to submit speed trials up to 15 minutes late as a minor fault (Jun 8, 2007, at 10:46; below [quoted message removed, PB]), that is no longer the case.

To pass through the trials for this semester: You must submit a fresh, raw typing speed trial (100+ words) no later than 09:15 [for Writing IIIc1, or no later than 10:55 for Writing IIIc2]; it must come in a complete compilation of speed trials on topics set for the class; and both the subject heading of the gmail message and the name of the file attached must be precisely as I have specified. [bold emphasis added, PB]

Otherwise, you'll need to keep doing and sending typing speed trials every Wednesday morning till the end of the semester. Though continuing typing speed trials may detract from time that you might spend blogging, composing essays or commenting on peers' essays; the extra typing practice should make [your] blogging, composing and commenting activities faster, once you get around to them.
