Usually surfacing or facing is usually at 1/2 the feed of the same range when facing.

I've a vague idea the Student is 1/4, BICBW.

Yes but once they are out of their time they move up to 1/2.

There's all sorts of variations on the theme: Southbends, Boxfords & small S&B's it's 0.3/1. Metric S&B1024's 0.4/1 and Imperial ones 1/2 so there's clearly no 'normal' or standard, just a general tendancy.
