Day 24 Academics
This session was dedicated to nitrox presentations.
Each Instructor candidate presented what was supposed to be a 10 minute talk on PO2, Best Mix and Maximum Operating Depth. The topics went from about 14 minutes to almost 30 minutes!
The information was good. I think so fat can be trimmed. With repetition and polish they should all be great.

Day 23 Academics
Everyone was briefed on the latest developments with the IQC.
Each candidate gave a 10 minute presentation on a open water topic. These included; the anatomy of the lung and overexpansion injury, the body and the effect of pressure on the air spaces, and pressure and its effects as it applies to scuba diving.
Let us just say that the presentations went a little long!
Many good suggestions were given for improvement. It is coming down to polished and professional.

Day 12 Academics
This session began with each student doing a critical review of their recorded presentation, followed by critical review by the other students and instructors. It is surprising how far each has gone in this process. The improvement as compared to the first presentation is dramatic.
Next was a review of Risk Management and Insurance. Not neccesarily the most interesting topic but neccessary.
The class night ended with some discussion of the Instructor Training Course, ITC, evaluation. Some things to expect and what not to expect. Emphasis was placed on 100% committment for the 3 day evaluation.
So with that, each student was encouraged to buckle down for the next 50 days! Learn it, Live it.

Day 5 Academics
The day started with an instructor presenting with student critique. Everyone followed with a new presentation. Immediate feedback was not given to the student as it was video recorded. The student will do a critical evaluation of the presentation and report back next session. The instructors will also critique the presentations at the next meeting.
This was followed by covering Teaching Theory and Instructional Techniques. This could be the driest reading, but the class discussion was better.
Empathy, Eye Contact; Pitch, Pace and Pause
Humor and the Hammer were all discussed.
Next session will finish teaching theory and instructional techniques.
The students are all "Crazy Cats"!
