3. Divide into teams of two students. One student should be designated as a “trainer,” the other as a “trainee.” The trainee should briefly leave the room while the trainer reads the instructions for folding a paper cup (see p. 288). After the trainers have read the instructions, the trainees should return to the room. The trainers should then train the trainees in how to fold a paper cup (about 15 minutes). When the instructor calls time, the trainers should note the steps they followed to conduct the training. The trainees should record their evaluations of the strengths and weaknesses of the training session (5–10 minutes).
If time allows, switch roles.
Be prepared to discuss the training process and your reactions as a trainer or trainee.
Also, be prepared to discuss the extent to which the training followed the steps for effective on-the-job training.
