Dear Learner,

Mabuhay!

Welcome to an experience in self-instruction.

This program has been especially designed so that you learn on your own. You can learn at your own pace – as fast as you can manage or as slow as you wish. You can also choose to study the program anywhere.

For effective learning, however, there are certain guidelines that you must know and follow:

1. The program consists of four folders. These folders are labeled as follows:

1.1 Trigger Folder (contains scenarios and questions)

1.2 Response-Question Folder (contains answers then follow-up questions)

1.3 Answer Folder (contains answers to questions)

1.4 Reference Folder (contains learning resource)

2. Here are the specific steps you must follow in starting your learning activity:

2.1 Have a pen and several sheets of paper ready before you start reading the contents of the first three folders. You need several sheets of paper for you to place your responses or answers and these answers sheets are to be submitted to your faculty at the end of the program.

2.2 Place the three folders along side each other, that is, if you are using a print version.

2.3 Start with the Trigger Folder. From the Trigger Folder you will be instructed where to go next. Just follow all the instructions in the three folders and you will not get lost.

2.4 You will end your learning activity in the CLOSING REMARKS AND INSTRUCTIONS in the Answer Folder.

3. The following symbols with their corresponding meanings will be seen inside the folders:

T - Trigger

R – Q - Response-Question

A - Answer

I - Instruction

Q - Question

R - Response

4. Do not look at the Response-Question, Answer, and Reference Folders without attempting first to answer the questions or to accomplish the instructions presented to you.

Note: The Response-Question, Answer, and Reference Folders do not provide you with all the answers. You have to do independent study to get the answers not provided in the folders.

5. Follow all instructions to the letter.

Best wishes on your learning voyage!
