Procedures:
This
program
operates
in
a
certain
manner.
Once
you
have
uploaded
the
program
you
are
instructed
to
create
a
profile.
One
you
create
that
profile
you
are
then
invited
to
start
the
program’s
lessons.
The
procedure
for
learning
starts
out
with
an
interactive
lesson
that
breaks
down
the
topics
listed
above.
After
you
complete
each
lesson
you
are
then
asked
to
participate
in
an
exercise
that
test
the
user
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
what
the
lesson
is
about
and
this
interacts
with
the
user
to
tell
them
there
progress.
After
the
lesson
is
done
the
user
is
then
directed
to
a
game
that
corresponds
to
the
lesson
that
they
have
just
completed.
This
game
is
very
interactive
and
does
not
let
you
go
on
until
you
have
successfully
completed
the
game.
After
the
games
has
been
completed
successfully
or
unsuccessfully
you
are
directed
to
the
intermission
page
where
you
can
select
where
you
would
like
to
go
whether
it
be
the
main
menu,
the
progress
page,
the
previous
lesson,
or
the
next
lesson.
I
think
that
this
program
covers
all
of
both
Educationa
Objectives
and
Instructional
Modes
indicated
on
the
“Time”
manual’s
page
21a.
Overall
I
think
this
program
is
great
for
the
beginner
to
work
and
practice
on
and
really
learn
the
fundamentals
in
a
way
that
creative
and
different
than
sitting
in
the
classroom
setting.
I
do
think
that
the
program
is
a
bit
outdates
(8
years
old)
and
that
better
programs
are
out
there.
