On GUE courses, they will have the instructor doing their thing, and a separate person along to use the video camera. In my opinion, that's the way to go... experienced or not. If there's one time an instructor can miss a mistake a student is making, Murphy will raise his head, and it will be while he's getting ready to shoot something. With a DIR~F, where there are up to 6 students in the class, there will be an instructor, an assistant, and a camera person. I think that if you're taking any course, whether it be OW or Tech 2, the instructor's undivided attention is important.

Just my 2 1/2 cents.
