 What this module is about?
This module is the continuation of the previous lesson 39 of machine shorthand lessons. It
contains lesson 40 and to be tackled in the succeeding pages. This module will be all about the
review of previous lessons thirty seven, thirty eight and thirty nine in machine shorthand. I hope
this module will serve as a tool in learning more about the machine shorthand. Besides it guides
you to comprehend the lessons contained.

What you are expected to learn?

In this module, you are expected to:

1. Review the selected law term words in machine shorthand.

2. Practice selected law term words in machine shorthand.
3. Discuss some preview words in machine shorthand.
4. Recall past lessons on words and abbreviation.

How to learn from this module?

In order to learn in this module just read and follow the lesson procedures. Understanding is
the best tool in order to learn this module. Even though we don’t have a real and tangible
machine shorthand try to make an improvised machine shorthand based from the practice
tackled in the lessons and activities.

To evaluate your learning in this module just answer the self check assessment to know how
far you have learned. Don’t look at the answer key for better learning. And if you do so, your
just deceiving yourself and this module will be useless. So be fair and learn, to gain
knowledge and become skilled learner of this module.
