Your students should show how to tie dress and set any knot that is being shown. Also it is not standard to use webbing and water knots and double biners as setting for ropes, as you can not do that from the ground. and Why are you using screw gate biners? read Tree climbers companion it is interesting.
Good observations. If we need to set an anchor from the ground, we will often use a false crotch. There are lots of times that we're anchoring for other purposes - an overnight for example. In that case, there is no need to install from the ground. We use screw gate carabiners largely because we share gear with a collegiate rock climbing program. Most of our procedures are designed to best suit college programs with similar gear. We have many copies of TC Companion for our classes.

Made my own friction saver for 33$ with a tendon sling and 2 cheap eights and it can hold 22kN. Works like a charm!
