Thank you for this post. I plan on using it as an instruction manual to my students at the beginning of the semester. I generally get my students (about 70 of them) to do around 8,000 observations in a semester and I am constantly trying to help them with observations but one of the things they tend to shy away from is the identification part and this will help encourage them to get more involved. I personally get a lot of experience knocking back identifications with students because they can often have very strange choices for initial identifications.
