- 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 <CTRL e> followed by <Enter>.
-
- 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 <hit any key>. 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." The 2
- lessons included with this shareware version contain 100
- presidential facts. If you find these lessons useful, you are
