===[[Card sorting]]===
* ''Educational goals:'' Card sorting will familiarize the participant with terminology we will expect them to know, components in general, and the main characteristics of cards. We also want to encourage careful observation of the parts.
* ''Material goals:'' Sorted cards can be processed (either in testing or recycling) much more quickly.
* ''Teacher:'' Volunteers who have already done this task should be able to teach it. Also, the staff person who is acting as [[reuse coordinator]] will teach this.
* ''Test out:'' This step can be tested out of through a card identification quiz.

===[[Motherboard sorting]]===
* ''Educational goals:'' Much like card sorting, except particpants learn about the main characteristics of motherboards. They're also introduced to the flowcharts that we use in other parts of the build program.
* ''Material goals:'' This is primarily educational.
* ''Teacher:'' Volunteers who have already done this task should be able to teach it. Also, the staff person who is acting as [[reuse coordinator]] will teach this.
* ''Test out:'' This step can be tested out of through a motherboard-knowledge quiz.

===[[System Evaluation]] ([[Eval 1]])===
* ''Educational goals:'' This task requires using documentation, using the flowcharts, learning the importance of labelling and tally sheets. It provides (for many) first contact with complete systems, tool and case structure. It's also an example of the peer-taught method of learning.
* ''Material goals:'' This task entails doing a preliminary cull of definite "recycle" systems and salvaging ("mining") parts to be tested.
* ''Teacher:'' Participants are encouraged to rely on the documentation and each other to figure out the processes. There is also a group of evaluation overlords who can instruct, check work, and test participants who are ready to move on. Also, the staff person who is acting as [[reuse coordinator]] will teach this.
* ''Test out:'' This step is required; builders can't skip it.

===[[System Evaluation]] ([[Eval 2]])===
* ''Educational goals:'' The main skill used in eval 2 is troubleshooting. Participants get exposure to a turned-on system and learn about POST, processors and RAM, and the BIOS. Reading documentation is also stressed.
* ''Material goals:'' Eval 2 eliminates obsolete systems from the stream and ensures that systems we store are labeled and filed properly.
* ''Teacher:'' Participants are encouraged to rely on the documentation and each other to figure out the processes. There is also a group of evaluation overlords who can instruct, check work, and test participants who are ready to move on. Also, the staff person who is acting as [[reuse coordinator]] will teach this.
* ''Test out:'' This step is required; builders can't skip it.

===[[Basic linux command line for builders]]===
* ''Educational goals:'' A very basic familiarity with the concept and grammar of the command line and a few simple commands.
* ''Material goals:'' This is entirely educational.
* ''Teacher:'' This is a [[classes|class]] taught by volunteer and staff teachers.
* ''Test out:'' Demonstrate basic practical familiarity with the Linux (or Unix) command line.
