Did you happily wander out to the aircraft with the instructor without a preflight briefing? Or did you ask the instructor "Hey, why havent we briefed yet?"
Did you attempt to communicate with the instructor and find out what his/her aims were, and to express your aims?
Did you attempt to convey your background and needs to the instructor?
Did you arrange a meeting with the CFI at the conclusion to discuss the experience you had, and to address shortcomings in their instructional system?
