How to best use "Fixing Relationships..." Guide
This lesson guide can be used individually, in a one-on-one mentoring session or in a class situation. It is designed to provide beginner and intermediate level FT users with a hands-on practical experience in fixing incorrect relationships in the fictitious database of the Instructor Materials - SIMPLE SANDBOX. The lesson guide is found to be most successful in enabling users to do the task independently when it is part of a "Model with Steps; Do with Steps" approach. First the teacher/mentor performs the Steps in their sandbox account... at the same time drawing attention to the specific directions on the guide. After that, the participant does the task in the Simple Sandbox by following the same Steps. Thus, by the end of the lesson, they have read through the Steps TWICE and performed the task ONCE. Retaining the guide for reference, they are better able to repeat the task on their own later on.
