Answer:  n the course News from Russia there are two modes of work: “study mode” and “flexible mode”. You may choose whichever better suits you.
Study mode
This mode imitates the study process conducted by a class room instructor. The program
- provides a strict sequence of menu items to follow, i. e. you cannot choose the sequence of menu items on your own, you cannot pass on to a new assignment or exercise, if you have not completed the preceding one;
- does not allow to start a new unit until you have finished the preceding one
- saves statistics of the completed assignments in case your decision to stop working on the current unit is found to be premature.

Advantages of the study mode:
- the Общая статистика (General statistics) monitors results of all the assignments of the unit
- you may print out the statistics for yourself as well as all the variants of your news summary;
- you get an opportunity  for tutorship:
send your written work for checking and receive suggestions from the tutor

Flexible mode
You conduct the study process yourself. You may
- choose a suitable sequence of menu items 
- choose the form of checking the assignments done by you
- quit working with the unit any time and start a new one
Общая статистика and tutorship are not available when working in that mode.
