Whenever you start to prepare a lesson plan or IG,
you should remember one important point: Instructors
are the experts; they should be fully knowledgeable in
the subject area. If you are hazy on some areas, get out
the books and refresh your memory. Instructors who
have not adequately prepared themselves lose their
credibility when they falter and hesitate while covering
a subject.
2. Class scheduling. Schedule formal class
presentations as early in the day as possible. (Shortly
after morning quarters is an ideal time.) At this time,
people are rested, ready to start the day, and in a more
receptive mood than if they had already worked a full
day and were waiting for liberty call. There are always
interruptions to class schedules. By planning well
enough in advance and ensuring that all persons
attending the formal class are aware of the schedule, you
can minimize the effects of outside events. Keep your
training sessions short and schedule them over a number
may produce poor results due to
interruptions because of ship evolutions,
loss of interest because of the length of the class,
or
the technical nature of material covered.
3. Class location. Find a suitable location to hold
the training session. This is often a problem on small
ships since spaces are cramped and room is at a
premium. At a shore station, training rooms are usually
available. An adequate space for a classroom should be
as comfortable as possible,
well lighted,
arranged so the entire class can see the instructor
and vice versa,
free from outside noise,
