Introduction

Introduction

This Activity Guide is to be used with the multimedia course presentation and the Student Guide. The

Activity Guide remains at the workstation and contains information and procedures that are specific to the

course. Please do not write in this Activity Guide. Record all of your notes and data in your own Student

Guide.

The multimedia course presentation will refer you to a specific activity title in this guide. Some units may

not have activities requiring directions in this Activity Guide, therefore that unit title will not appear in the

Table of Contents.

Tips for navigating the multimedia course presentation can be found in the Mind-Sight
