@gmeers :I instruct military folks...in fact, I am a retired Air Force officer. I try to get at what they are dealing with. It is different now, than when I was in their position. You have to get where they are, so that as you instruct, you can develop the appropriate way to evaluate them. I do that by interaction with them each day, and getting them to actively participate. I work one-on-one witheach student. It helps me find out where they are.
