The new MD-102 and the missing labs
I am delivering the 'new' course this upcoming week. (November 2026) I am extremely disappointed with the total disconnect between the powerpoints and the labs that the students will complete.
1) the powerpoint slides are more 'planning' and theory and not doing with troubleshooting and a full description of why and how
2) the labs are ONLY available to the students for 7 days (that is NOT sufficient time to expose themselves to the environment when prepping for the exam
3) there are long periods of lab time (IE: 100 minutes) where students will actuall forget the goal of the labs, instead of shorter labs/hands on, with more power point/discussions.
I have had to create a 14 page list of web references, and YOUTUBE videos to supplement the students.
