Got to this thread a little late I guess.......
B2N2 - I note that you deliberately ignored the points I made about discussing with the instructor why he wanted you to do it differently, and that only if you are certain that its a stupid thing (such as him wanting you to change the order of your downwind checks so that he can follow them more easily) should you proceed to humour him and go back to your previous method. Please, learn to read.
The assumption that an instructor is a god who can do no wrong is just as idiotic as the assumption that ones self is a god who can do no wrong. It takes a liberal dose of common sense, research, and advice from a variety of trusted sources before you can properly make your mind up as to the best procedure.
