help needed with Nav!!

Hi,

Im having a few problems with navigation (for PPL). My instructor has told me to divide my track into 4 segments- My departure point- check point a, check point b and then my arrival point. All at equal distances.

If I'm 4 degrees off at checkpoint "a", i double this, so its 8 degrees and turn back on track by this amount. I then hold this for the time it took me to travel from my departure point to checkpoint a. When ive regained track, I then adjust it by 4 degrees in order to hold it!! I also use fan lines to assess my drift, although my FI tells me just to estimate

Is this the correct method im being taught??

thanks
