PUMA Shareware Presents: Presidential - FLASHCARDS Congratulations on selecting a PUMA Shareware product. At PUMA we are dedicated to producing quality software that is straight- forward and easy to use so that the student can concentrate on mastering the lessons. You can master the program in less than 5 minutes and will not find lots of switches or options to learn. Presidential FLASHCARDS will teach you facts about U. S. Presidents. The registered version contains lessons on terms, vice presidents, party, order, home states, birthdays, first ladies and date of death. It is fashioned around the question and answer format of FLASHCARDS. To run the first lesson, enter: LESSON1 Documentation: README.TEXT Getting started: At startup you will be given a choice of starting level (1 - 4). Start with level 1 and then select level 2 after mastering it. In some lessons where the facts are unique to a President, such as term, you will be given an option of inputting the fact or the president. It will be easier if you start with the President input and later try fact input. The only other thing you need to know is how to get out of the program if you want to return to the operating system. That's easy, press followed by . So you start up and are presented with a question, and you haven't got a clue. Take a wild guess or just press the enter key. FLASHCARD will beep and display the correct "Answer" above your input. The cursor then travels to the upper right corner of the screen where it waits for you to . Note the difference between your input and the correct answer and then bump a key for the next question. You will likely strike out 10 or more times before you complete the set successfully. When you make a error, the question will repeat after a few times. In each lesson, the student is presented with 4 sets of 10 cards. Each set is called a level and the program randomly selects from the 10 cards, 50 times. The object is to complete the 50 questions without incurring more that two errors (three "Strikes" and you're out). If you get the third strike, the high score is updated and you start over. Typically you would start with level one and repeat it until you have "Successfully" completed it 10 times. At level two, you will be presented with a second set of 10 cards. At level two you work your way through the 2nd set and then the first set (you already know these), until you have completed both sets "Successfully" 10 times. By the time you get to level 4 you will work your way from level 4 level 3 to level 2 to level 1. As you progress through the series, the questions seem easier. Review: When you have mastered lesson 1 continue with lesson 2. I like to go back and review all previous lessons after completing a lesson. The repetition and review will quickly make these facts yours to command. Shareware: Shareware gives you a chance to "Try before you Buy."
