ask him study the one he more confident in
no need study both IF he has not enough time
but still... studying both is the best choice and is more
safer
i think he need to study on map-reading skills
oso, like bearings, direction(NW, NE, SW, SE, NNW, NNE...
blabla...), and the dendritic/dispersed/linear crap, contours oso,
and landforms
