The CD you will receive is based on the most popular course offered in the history of Cal Poly Pomona. In a 7-year period this course has grown from an initial enrollment of seven students to one that approximately one half of the students at the University eventually will take. Our annual enrollment is now over 3,000. This is a fun, entertaining and practical course. We hope you enjoy it. The CD will open on either a Mac or PC. On the PC, Windows 95 or better is needed. The Mac will read it through HTML. Most of you will use a PC and the CD reads a little better with this type of computer. Simply insert the CD into your drive and the title page should appear. If it doesn’t begin automatically, go to My Computer and then click on your icon for the CD-ROM drive (it should have the letters “TWMA” indicated next to the icon). On the title page you have a choice of screen resolutions to choose. The resolution of 800X600 seems to be a nice compromise. Once these numbers are clicked, a second page will appear. Table of contents is included on the title page and merely choose the chapter you wish to view by left clicking on that chapter. At the top of your screen there is a view button where you can change the font size if desired. On certain computers (only a few types) some of the images may show still open at the bottom of the screen and eventually interfere with viewing. In this case they can be closed by clicking (and closing them) on the icons referring to these images at the bottom of the screen.

Testing can be accomplished over the phone. Prior to this we need the following information from you: Full name, type of licenses and license identification numbers, company names, address, phone number and E-mail address. This information can be e-mailed to us or sent by regular mail on the enclosed form. Seventy percent is considered passing and the test can be retaken. Phone testing is quick and simple--give us the false answers to the questions provided
