Some experiences may have seemed very hard from the student point of view at the time and I agree that there were some real ar*****le QFI's around in the early/late 60's, (and QWI's). I would suggest, however, that the majority of instructors did actually try to help their students and had a great feeling of achievment in seeing them pass out at the end of the course. I know that I did (and remember that there were good students and bad, and all the rest!!)
