There's one thing everyone else left out...you're on a collegiate level. You proffesor wants you to learn how to concentrate on designing and not running the board....

He also wants your board op to learn how to run it.

Which is where I disagree with Footer...if at the begining you say it how it goes into the board it allows the person to learn the board...once they're comftrable with it most definetly stop speaking board...but get them up and running first.
