USING ECONOMICS GUIDE

The following will introduce you to the basic features of Economics Guide. You 
might want to print out this topic and then work through it step by step.

The first thing you will see when Economics Guide loads is the Login screen. 
Enter your first name, last name, and password in the areas indicated. If the 
program doesn't recognize your name or your password, you will be asked to re-
enter this information or to indicate that you are a new user. If you are a new 
user, then you will be asked to verify your name and password before you can 
complete the login procedure.

After you have logged into Economics Guide, the detailed view of your personal 
Study Log will be displayed. If you are a new user, then there will only be one 
event -- your log in date and time. The next thing that you should do is to 
select View and then Quiz from the menu. This will display a blank Quiz screen.

Once the Quiz screen is displayed, select Quiz and then New Quiz from the menu. 
This will display the Topic screen. Click on a chapter (Chapter 1 might be a 
good place to start.) Notice that the topics in the chapter are displayed. You 
can generate a quiz for the whole chapter or for any section of the chapter. 
After you have highlighted the topic you want to be quizzed on, either select 
Topic and then Select from the menu or click on the Select Topic button. After a 
few moments, the Quiz screen will be displayed with the first question of your 
quiz.

Answer a question by clicking on an answer (if the question is multiple-choice) 
or entering the correct numerical value (if the question requires calculations.) 
If the question displays a graphic, you can click on the graphic to blow it up 
to full screen and then click it again to shrink it back down again.

After you have answered a question, check your answer by either selecting Quiz 
and then Check Answer from the menu or by clicking the Check button or by 
double-clicking the answer if the question is multiple choice. A correct 
multiple-choice answer will be displayed in yellow and, if your answer is 
incorrect, it will be displayed in red. You can now go on the next question by 
selecting Quiz and then Next Question from the menu or by clicking the right 
arrow button.

After you have answered some or all of the questions that make up a quiz,  you 
can save the quiz to disk by selecting Quiz and then Save Quiz from the menu. 
Assign a name to the quiz when prompted to do so. You can retrieve the quiz you 
just saved by selecting Quiz and then Load Quiz from the menu. When you load a 
saved quiz or create a new quiz, your existing quiz is ended and your score is 
recorded in your log file.

To return to the Study Log screen, select View and then Study Log from the menu. 
The Study Log screen will be displayed. Select Study Log and then Update from 
the menu to display your recent activities. You can display a summary view by 
either selecting Study Log and then Summary from the menu or clicking the 
Summary button. Choose the type of summary from the Summary screen and then 
click OK to display it. If this is your first time with Economics Guide, there 
won't be much to see, but by the end of your class you'll have a detailed record 
of your activities.

This completes your introduction to the basics of using Economics Guide. More 
detail is provided in Economics Guide Tutorial Software help files.
