Yes We teach LCSH first then DDC. Students find it easier to understand principles of hierarchical structure and broader/narrower terms when applied using words. A lot of people actually find numerical notation daunting, so we start with the theory of knowledge using language before turning to decimal notation.

I never realized before that (the previous to 10th ed of) Wynar was set up to teach classification before subject headings. My colleague at Illinois does this, too, and I can't quite get my mind around it. What is the idea behind it? Does anyone else teach the units of basic cat & class in a "different"order (i.e., different from those in textbooks like Chan or Wynar/Taylor)?
