I find use of the light table to be another skill that is personally
helpful. My educational experience has been that I learned to use the
light table as a geologist in the early 90's, and continued to use it as
a professional in the field. Recently returning for a second Masters in
Geography, 2010, I was not required or taught to employ the light table.
