So in a way, learning new judgment and new mechanics, I was like a newbie. Ugh, it was AWFUL... (Heavy sigh, and long pause gazing off into space while thinking about all the nasty mistakes and general feeling of incompetence, and the glazed over looks in the eyes of the clinicians.)).

As usual, Juulie is being very modest...as one of those "eyes glazed over" clinicians, I can tell you that we were very impressed with the progress she made from day 1 to day 3 of this camp - her 3-person mechanics improved greatly, and her judgement and consistency were very solid in the game I observed yesterday (last day)...
As far as the original question - teach both at the same time...concentrate on the mechanics and have the judgement type things be the secondary focus...that way the newbie (which we've all been at one time or another) can start getting the big picture right from the get-go...
