Which of the following can be considered a common recreational activity that does not fulfill CE credit?

Golf can be considered a common recreational activity that does not fulfill Continuing Education (CE) credit requirements for Texas Certified Shorthand Reporters. In the context of CE for professionals, activities must typically relate directly to the individual's field, providing substantive educational value and enhancing their skills related to their profession.

While golf is a popular recreational activity and may involve networking or social interactions, it is generally not designed to improve the reporting skills, knowledge of legal or court procedures, or any specific competencies required of a shorthand reporter.

In contrast, activities like yoga, public speaking, and team-building exercises may be recognized as relevant for CE credits since they can focus on mental well-being, communication skills, and collaboration — attributes that can benefit a shorthand reporter's performance. Such activities often have an educational component that aligns more closely with the practical application of skills in the reporting profession, thus qualifying for CE credit.
