My s;ngle recommendation is that the basis of the BOC should be the
personal meeting, and that most of the student's time should be spent
mther in one, or preparing for it. I don't think that all of the
meeting ha8e to be followed by taper work, rather many more meetings
could be arranged. A possible scenarion could be having the student
notified of the meeting, a planning session before it, the actual
meeting, and a critique immediately afterwards. Another feature
should be 00's guidance -his insistence that a certain role be played
during the meeting. Perhaps a week of meetings could be scheduled
for the start of the course where the student could get used to the
format, acquire some confidence in dealing with people during a
structu?-e sequence, and have the results of his efforts immediately
afterwards. It would also help the student's enthusiasm-he would be
constantly active, immersed in the situation, and thinking about how to
handle the next meeting. It would allow for more innovation and open
expression on the trainee's part, give him more time with the
instructors, and most of all let him build his confidence up
to handle the meetings. It was hard to wait a week between personal
meetings, it might be more realistic to wait that long, but one's
attention and enthusiasm waned and had to be pumped up on the day
of the meeting. As a personal preference I liked the one-shot meetings,
where both the instructor and student could free wheihl a bit, and
personalities come out into the open.
