Didn't the first person say teaching the *terms* not the "topics" or
the steps. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the point was just
to let the students know what the words mean, not to teach the steps.
I think it's a good idea to expose people to vocabulary they're going
to be hearing in the future, or, at a minimum, certainly can't do any
harm.
