 * Most students are here to get through Prebuild so they can move on to Build.
 * Encourage people to teach each other. When testing folks out of one step, usually do this by observing the student showing a newbie how to do the job.
 * If it gets a little crazy remember our priorities: 1. Safety 2. Data Security 3. Volunteer Education/Production  (the relative importance of education vs. production will depend on the volunteers present and the number of systems needing to be processed).  If, at the end of a crazy shift, everyone is in one piece and all the hard drives have been destroyed or locked up, you've done alright.
