Training/accessibility arrangements Will students already be familiar with the equipment or will extensive training be required? If training is necessary, will students have sufficient access to the equipment to practice on it as well as to do their experiments? Is documentation adequate? Will consultants, TAs, or you be on hand to guide students during training? Is equipment or accessibility sufficient so that each student will have enough hands-on time?
