[QUOTE="OldWiseGuy, post: 74010192, member: 139156"] Our instructors were not DI's. Most were Specialists, trained as instructors. The model in the army classes I took was... Several different teachers for each subject so the material was presented in a slightly different way with each. I didn't get on to the use of logarithms until the third instructor. He spoke 'my language' and I finally understood it. Our instructors also turned the teaching over to us as well. We helped each other. It was like a classroom full of tutors for those who were struggling. In the end we all got it, with the added benefit of some great bonding. Helping each other eliminates any 'competition' that might have been carried over from civilian schooling experience. There were no grades, no pass/fail...only [I]pass[/I]. Great system. Another thing the aforementioned instructor said in a humorous way was that "except for mental defect everyone here can learn this material". Sadly there was one fellow who didn't get any of it. He was deficient mentally and should never have been in the class in the first place. [/QUOTE]
