Text: Pages 1-32 



In this course you will demonstrate that learning has taken place by correctly answering 

 training items. The mere physical act of indicating a choice on an answer sheet is not in itself 

 important; it is the mental achievement, in whatever form it may take, prior to the physical act 

 that is important and toward which nonresident career course learning objectives are directed. 

 The selection of the correct choice for a course training item indicates that you have fulfilled, 

 at least in part, the stated objective(s) . 



The accomplishment of certain objectives, for example, a physical act such as drafting a 

 memo, cannot readily be determined by means of objective type course items; however, you can 

 demonstrate by means of answers to training items that you have acquired the requisite knowledge 

 to perform the physical act. The accomplishment of certain other learning objectives, for 

 example, the mental acts of comparing, recognizing, evaluating, choosing, selecting, etc., may 

 be readily demonstrated in a course by indicating the correct answers to training items. 



The comprehensive objective for this course has already been given. It states the purpose 

 of the course in terms of what you will be able to do as you complete the course. 



The detailed objectives in each assignment state what you should accomplish as you progress 

 through the course. They may appear singly or in clusters of closely related objectives, as 

 appropriate; they are followed by items which will enable you to indicate your accomplishment. 



All objectives in this course are learning objectives and items are teaching items. They 

 point out important things, they assist in learning, and they should enable you to do a better 

 job for the Navy. 



This self-study course is only one part of the total Navy training program; by its very 

 nature it can take you only part of the way to a training goal. Practical experience, schools, 

 selected reading, and the desire to accomplish are also necessary to round out a fully meaning- 

 ful training program. s
