While with another instructor, MSgt Moore says, "I'm concerned about SrA
Michael, one of my students. She completes all assignments and I know she
takes notes because she shares them with the flight, but she barely passed her
briefing evaluations, which I believe is due to the flight helping her practice so
much. Although I have seen her study with the flight, most of the time she
studies alone. This morning she failed the formative exercise, by one question,
and failed to meet the academic standard. I counseled her about additional
study but I'm not sure she can pass the summative."
