That's not bad advice, Yogi. In the past, I have had students build various simpler models. I once had us all build one of the HO-scale old west downloads from Thomas Pleiner's forum as a group build. All these strategies have met with varying success. Usually, in addition to having little or no basic building skills, the students also have no patience, and they are not keen on having to build one of the simple models first. The class is part of a series of one-week electives, and some kids are only in the class because that is what was available, so motivation is a factor, too. Oh, well...
I wish Rick had reminded me about boomerangs earlier. I think I'll do a class on those next year.
