Hey everyone. I'm no brand-new CFI (500+ dual given), but I've been running into a problem and I'm wondering if any of y'all have advice for me.
Here's the deal. I consider myself pretty smart and pretty motivated. When I was working on my ratings, my CFIs would do a brief ground overview, give me the PTS and the syllabus, and I'd self-study for the oral and do well.
My problem is that that is the way I tend to treat all of my students. I cover the material once and turn them loose to prepare for the oral. I've found that not all students are motivated or able to study on their own, and consequently they do poorly on the oral exam portion of their stage checks and checkrides. What advice do y'all have for dealing with this? I hate to spend hours on hours of ground time when a student SHOULD be able to figure this stuff out on their own.
