on a scheduled basis. Courses one week or longer are
required to schedule a critique of the course. All
other courses will conduct scheduled critiques at the
discretion of the Commanding Officer. The scheduled
critique will be administered to the students at the
end of their training. If training in a course is
split between two sites, critiques will be administered
at the conclusion of the training at each site.
If the course is lengthy, it may be appropriate to
collect feedback periodically during training. This
permits students to record comments throughout the
training instead of having to recall events and
perceptions.
Quality of Life Area
Normally, feedback on quality of life areas such as
messing, berthing and other environmental factors
outside the scope of the course has been collected

arrangements may influence this decision. Students
should be encouraged to provide feedback as often as
they feel necessary and as soon as they encounter a
problem with a Quality of Life issue.
Quality of Life data should be collected from students
attending training on permanent change of station
(PCS) orders and students attending training one week
or longer. Data for students Temporary Additional
Duty (TAD) or those attending courses less than one
week may complete a critique if they desire.
Safety Critique
Student Critique shall provide an area for students to
address Safety related concerns and identify potential
safety problem problems. Appropriate reviews and action
shall be performed for al safety related course.
3.2. Requirements for Collecting Data

of the course, the effectiveness of the instructors, the safety
of the training environment, and the student's quality of life
during training. Students should be made to feel that their
