This was probably The New Testament Greek Workbook by James Arthur
Walther. It used a purely inductive approach in which the students were
given a vocabulary list (no translations) and were required to use a
standard lexicon (BAG recommended) to read the portion of John's Gospel
from which the list was taken. Notes on the accidence of each section of
John were included. The student was to "induce" the grammatical elements
of Greek from John's gospel.
