TKDTutorSoft Solution: TASKMASTER

Another major function of TaskMaster is the ability to take care of all the administrative tasks involved with planning, preparing, and processing a rank or instructor testing; the only thing left for the owner to do is conduct the actual testing. The following are some of the testing tasks handled by TaskMaster:

When auto testing is used

MID CYCLE

Review/edit student progress calls. Progress calls are telephone calls to, or meetings with, students to inform them of their progress toward the next rank. Progress calls are an important tool in encouraging all students, but the calls are essential for insuring lower rank students stay with the program. TaskMaster tracks progress calls made during the current testing cycle and reminds the user of the:
- Quarter Way Point of cycle. Use these calls to praise progress.
- Half Way Point of cycle. Use these calls to praise progress and suggest improvements.
- Three-Quarter Way Point of cycle. Use these calls to praise progress and point out problems that may prevent a recommendation for rank testing.
