How do I use the Flashcards?
The flashcard program allows you to hide the information from yourself, and then reveal it to yourself, as many times as you wish until you memorize the answer. You can do this by moving the mouse cursor over the "Word Part or Abbreviation Meaning" to make the text disappear and over the "Word Part or Abbreviation" to make it reappear.
The answer also disappears when you begin typing to encourage you to memorize the answer rather than just typing what you're reading. You can make the text reappear by moving your mouse cursor to the area of the screen above the "Word Part or Abbreviation Meaning".
The "answer" that the program wants you to type is the "Word Part or Abbreviation Meaning". It must be typed
exactly
as it appears or you will not be able to advance to the next flashcard.
