[nabop] a proofreading question

[Mary Donahue]

Hello Sarah and listers,

    When I took the proofreading course, I had to read all of the lessons in 
the Braille transcribing manual, but I only had to submit certain ones. For 
example, my first assignment was to read Lessons 1, 2, and 3, and then 
submit Lesson 3. The next assignment was to read Lessons 4 and 5 and submit 
the exercise for Lesson 5. However, I took the course from May, 1987 until 
February, 1990, when I received my notice of certification. Therefore, it 
may not be necessary to submit all of the lessons if you are merely going to 
proofread. However, you still have to take the transcribing part of the 
course. I hope this helps you.

Mary Donahue, Vice President, NABOP
