Review and Master The Machine Shorthand

This module provides a review of machine shorthand. It aims to help students recall past lessons, master recent lessons, and practice reading shorthand tapes. Students are instructed to imagine they are using a real shorthand keyboard and to strike keys as words are dictated. The module includes a pre-test on shorthand strokes and abbreviations, dictation exercises for speed building, and a post-test assessment. If students score highly on the post-test they understood the material, while lower scores mean re-reading the lessons for improvement.

Assessment of you Answer
Dear students, if you got the scores 9-10 correctly, excellent! It shows that yo
u
understood and remembered what we have discussed. Congratulations!
If you got the scores between 7-8, very good! You remembered most of the things
we
have discussed. Check those questions you did not answer correctly and see why y
ou forgot
their answer.
If your correct answers were from 5-6, that was good! What you have remembered
were probably the ones close to your heart. I suggest that you read the text aga
in and try to
answer the question once more.
Finally, if you have a score between 1- 4, I suggest that you read the lessons a
gain
and see where you have forgotten some details. After reading the parts where you
met some
difficulty, try to answer the test again and see if your score will improve. Goo
d luck!

Goodbye now, dear students. I hope to see you if we do the next module.
