I wouldn't be so dismissive.
I thought the same, until I saw some check marks on skills that I though students were comfortable and confident with. Turns out that sometimes what we see and think are not what they think. What they think is important.
The Dive Planning Slate on the back side (or front side depending on your view point ), is also quite useful.
Is this a standard checklist? I'm open to anything that can improve performance but I haven't seen this particular tool before....
