This type of learning is good for memory recall. In a way, I'm not entirely sure how you can learn design based on remembering keywords and terms, etc. But if you go through the program you do retain some of the information you learn if you read the theory then take the examinations. What you do with what you retain is up to you really. So for example, you may retain some rule regarding color. So one day while you're designing maybe it helps during your process to get work done. This subscription isn't going to turn you into a designer, but it's a good supplemental material that replace textbooks.
