Abstract: A teaching device is disclosed which includes a work sheet carrying a plurality of multiple choice question areas with a corresponding series of answers. The device comprises a case with a viewing window through which a question area on the work sheet is visible together with a choice of answers. The worksheet is coded and is interlocked with the sheet advance mechanism so as to permit advance to the next question only when the correct answer response has been made by the user. After the series of questions on the worksheet has been answered by pressing answer keys, the machine recycles the advance mechanism so that the worksheet repeats its cycle, stopping only at those questions which were originally answered erroneously, permitting review by the student and again requiring correct response. The worksheet receives markings indicating which questions were answered erroneously at first trial, thereby providing a basis for remedial training. The worksheets may either be preprinted or be prepared as a master in its entirety by the instructor, duplicating copies then being made on an ordinary office copier for classroom use.
