2.) Keep it simple; don’t worry about formatting
3.) Save frequently
4.) Only hit the orange “Complete and Mark for Review” button when the entire page has been transcribed
5.) If you cannot decipher a word or do not know how to type it with correct accents, symbols, etc. use [[?]] to indicate it
You must find a replacement if you can no longer attend the event. If you do not find a replacement and do not attend, you will be docked half of the hours of the event.
