Personnally, I would let them go over a document (paper copy) with a red
pen. Then I would sit down with them and discuss what I would implement or
not and why. If the person showed some aptitude, I would toss greater
challenges to them. If they did not seem interested in learning, I have a
bunch of filing to catch up on.
Cheers!
