_The Director_: “Now, I want each member of the class to consider
himself as being Corporal Vincent. You have just arrived here with your
squad and received the order of Sergeant Wilkins. It is up to you to
select the point where you are going to place your squad to cover the
road. I want each of you to solve this phase of the problem
independently. Make a rough sketch showing the position, and write out
the orders that you will issue as squad commander. Twenty minutes will
be allowed for the purpose. It is now —— (state time).”
At the end of twenty minutes the class is assembled. The solutions are
collected and redistributed. One or more members are called upon to read
the solution he has in his possession.
The position will then be selected and the Director will give a
statement of the orders that would be issued. This may have been
previously prepared for distribution to the class as “a solution.”
The solution of each member of the class is returned to him in order
that he may compare it with the solution submitted by the Director.
