There was one technique that worked with a couple third mates
That is to give instructions not to give helm orders while standing at the ARPA but instead check the planned course visually before making a course change.
In practice; use the ARPA to figure out what course to steer in traffic but then walk over to the centerline bridge compass repeater and convert that planned new course to a visual bearing; then, if it looks good, make the course change.
I explained this technique in this post: Taking sight bearing the coaster way.
After a few days in traffic the new OOW will realized that they can, in some cases, skip the step of obtaining the course from the ARPA.
