"WHY DO WE HAVE PROCEDURES?
A procedure is the way that we do things.
To do things right, we have to follow some simple procedures, for example:
To open your locker, you have to dial your combination as directed by the lock manufacturer.
To cook a fabulous meal, you need to follow the correct steps in the recipe.
To place a call on your cell phone, you need to dial the numbers in the right order.
So, to be successful in learning, you need to follow some simple procedures." *
