using production assistant the the max potential

[sbb 0]

I have PA ver 1.0 but really only use the simple duck feature for tandem vids. I listen to DSE/Chris about its benefits on the forums, but obviously don't use it up to its potential.

Can anyone offer some advice on using it's potential to speed up any steps in the workflow?

upgrade to 2.0 and get the auto import/naming/archiving template creation features that everyone else has copied.
Use the track gap removal feature to roll an entire timeline into seamless.
Photomontage can be used to make terrific intro/outtros using student's photos or video clips.
drop in a lower third for the DZ name?
Use the audio tools to clean up bad audio/make it more present.
