L2 (Mar 7): pre-drive checks all by himself. start/stop smooth. steering good. lane pos better, centered most of the time. right turns good, wide once. backing up in lot, needed help w/ looking over shoulder. L3 (Mar 11): pre-drive checks by himself again. start/stop smooth again. steering good again. lane pos centered whole lesson. right turns good both times. left turns hesitated, waited too long on a gap. backing up better but still forgot shoulder check once. four-way stops, did not look left and right before going once, I stopped it.

AFTER · what the skill produced

Skills Scorecard
Student: Orlando Moody
Parent: Pamela Nunez
School: Brookmoor Driving School, 810 Aspenmoor St, Skygate, 319-555-0132
Vehicle: gray 2014 Ford Expedition
Lessons covered: 3 (Mar 4, Mar 7, Mar 11)

Mastered (done correctly on his own in 2 lessons in a row)

Pre-drive checks: last shown Mar 11
Smooth start and stop: last shown Mar 11
Steering control: last shown Mar 11
Practicing
Lane position: Centered the whole lesson on Mar 11, but on Mar 7 he was centered most of the time, so two correct lessons in a row are not yet shown. One more lesson centered on his own will meet our definition of mastered.
Right turns: Good on Mar 11, both turns. He went wide once on Mar 7. One more good lesson in a row will meet our definition of mastered.
Left turns: First time practiced on Mar 11. He hesitated and waited too long on a gap. Next lesson we will work on judging gaps and going when it is safe.
Backing up: Better on Mar 11, but he forgot the over-the-shoulder check once. Next lesson we will work on making that check every time.
Four-way stops: First time practiced on Mar 11. Once he did not look left and right before going, and the instructor stopped the car. Next lesson we will work on looking both ways every time before going.

Safety concern

At a four-way stop on Mar 11, Orlando did not look left and right before going, and the instructor stopped the car. We recommend we keep working on this at the start of the next lesson.

Not yet covered

Parallel parking
Merging

Count: 3 Mastered, 5 Practicing, 2 Not yet covered, out of 10 skills.

Orlando did his pre-drive checks by himself in the last two lessons, and his start and stop and steering were smooth and good in both.
