New CHL100 on state site

[rjr5545]

It's posted and ready for use, under downloadable forms.

So much for it being password protected, I guess...

Hey, it's the same state government that left teacher's and retired teachers ID's up on the Teacher Retirement System website for almost 2 years! Whaddya expect? They're bureaucrats.

What's so secret about a blank form?

[sjfcontrol]

The same thing that was secret about the previous form?

You're correct. They did not give us any mandated, or even suggested, times for each topic in the class last week.

Hey, I noticed that nothing required my brand spankin new (well, new in April anyway) password.

I was expecting at least some way to post the CHL 7 & 8 forms or something like that. It would also be cool to have an online record of past classes that I coulde refer to.

I don't really see any reason for any of the posted forms to be secure. It takes an instructors signature & number anyway before they can be used.

I'm curious how you intend to account for breaks, since DPS counts an hour of instruction as 50 minutes with a 10 minute break.
Do we use one of the blank lines for "breaks", and then count the 50 minutes of instruction as "50 minutes"? OR
Do we count the whole 60 minutes as applied against the topic (which feels like making a "false entry" to me).

Did they give any guidelines about that?

What the heck is the topic "Handgun Use"?

And where is the time for Chapter 46 and 30.06? If students "sign" an online affidavit saying they have read and understood those, wouldn't you think they would be required topics?

Don't record the breaks separately. Include them in the time for the subject being covered when you take the break. As you noted, DPS mandates the 10 minute break every hour.
